Apple faces criticism over a reported "gray list" in its iOS. This unofficial list contains approximately 100,000 words and phrases. It blocks these terms from swipe-typing and predictive text. A researcher uncovered the list, which Reuters reported. The list includes vulgarities and some political terms in multiple languages. Apple declined to comment on the findings.
Separately, Apple faces accusations concerning its retail stores. Staff allegedly sign up customers for service subscriptions without full consent. An advocate alleges employees were encouraged to meet sign-up targets. Apple has not issued a formal comment on these allegations. The company reportedly takes steps to address the accusations internally.
