GM's CarPlay replacement doesn't work well, and has a long road ahead of it
Massiveattack87 said:GM is not the only one. Mercedes Benz officially confirmed that CarPlay will not be supported for next models.
The reason of Mercedes is that Apple wants to strive for "All or Nothign" strategy.
Mercedes Benz would have no issue to have CarPlay as long as basic features can be played by Apple, but Mercedes Benz is not willing to give up the entire control to Apple.
I fear that more and more OEMs would follow GM´s and MB´s decision not to support Apple CarPlay if Apple continues sticking to their "All or Nothing" strategy.
But Having driven EQS, I have to say that MB is way way behind in the UI/UX area.
MB tries hard to present their cars as a modern technology, but it feels old somehow.
Nothing can top the simplified UI/UX made by Apple.

Apple speaks out against Epic's contempt of court accusation
Kierkegaarden said:Separately, Epic Games is continuing to press the European Union over Apple. In that case, its criticisms concern what it alleges is Apple's "malicious compliance" in only technically following the laws of the Digital Markets Act.
If you’re “technically” following the law, are you not acting legally?No. Technically means doing what it takes to make it appear as you're complying with the literal requirements, but in a way that completely eviscerates the purpose of the requirements. So when a court states allow linking outside the app to promote competition, but you then allow it while imposing a higher cost on the developer, that compliance is technical.

Apple speaks out against Epic's contempt of court accusation
apple4thewin said:Can someone explain to me why only Apple is getting attacked? Consoles such as the Switch and Playstation don’t allow alternative app stores. In the switch’s Fortnite case VBucks aren’t usable if you got them from outside the switch store/battle pass. In fact I logged into my account on Playstation and I had 4,700 vbucks while My Switch said 700.

Apple Watch ban back on, court denies Apple's appeal to keep it on the market
deckert63 said:Is Masimo a real healthcare technology firm or are they a patent troll? If the former, not sure why apple doesn’t pay them the license fees like they do Qualcomm. If the latter, may Masimo rot in special place in hell only reserved for patent trolls.
