Safari "Tracker blocking"
Several updates ago, I noticed Safari "Tracker blocking" statistics. ?
I thought it was interesting and would check it every time I launched. ?
I noticed it was always between some number between 80 - 100.
A recent Safari update increased the statistics had doubled…but that statistic is now twice what that 80-100 range it used to be. ?
Is it really valid?

Re: Need iPhone Clock App
Ben, it is a moot point for me. I don’t have all the hardware needed to try it. I would if I did, for sure. But I can live without it. And if i run into an occasion, I will definitely try this.?

This indicates to me they are referring to any iPhone from 5 to 14 on either end of the cable+adapter. That’s why I linked to the older camera adapter for your 4S, assuming it’s compatible with a phone-to-phone transfer. I’m having trouble verifying this compatibility.
I realize this probably isn’t worth discussing since you already completed this transfer. Just wanted to outline the options.
Hope you can find a conversion app you like. ? On May 3, 2025, at 20:06, Brent via groups.io <whodo678@...> wrote:

Like Charles, I mourn the loss of an app that is ?no longer available.

Re: Need iPhone Clock App
Is this the same as backing up an iPhone, then restoring another (usually later) iPhone from that backup? If not, why not?

Read it again, you can move from older iPhones _to_ the 14, it says nothing about moving apps from older iPhones to another older iPhone.?
Convert’s graphics are much like Apple’s Calculator, but has a wider range of measurement units to convert between. I will look at the Apple Calculator again, but when I moved to the XR, the conversion list was much shorter.
My most current Mac is a late 2012 Mac min, Catalina is the highest OS it can run. I bought a clearance iPhone XR, when they shut down the 3G Networks. My old daily driver was an early 2008 MBP, but it has become very temperamental and about worn out. Living on a fixed income is limiting.?
