European politicians on the cusp of requiring USB-C in all smartphones
Still cannot for the life of me figure out how this helps anything…. How often are people switching back and forth between iPhone to Android/other? I could maybe see if the turnover was 100% every year, but it’s not…. I’m just not seeing where the “excess e-waste” is coming in here? Heck, I was actually okay with ditching the charging cables and bricks with iPhones - we’ve had a standard plug for quite a while now, I don’t need new charging equipment every couple of years if the old ones still work fine!

Early 2021 Apple Silicon iMac said to have 'A14T' processor
“...and Apple is already designing a new "A15" series.
I though they just woke up one morning in September every year and said to themselves, “ya know, I think I’ll design the next generation A-series processor over lunch today...”. -
Coalition for App Fairness unites developers to fight Apple's App Store fees and policies
Even though I haven’t used it since Apple Music launched, I finally said “ya know, I should delete my Spotify account...”.So I did.And the Tile that I’ve got... yeah, definitely not upgrading to their Premium subscription... when the built in battery dies, I’m done with them.Getting more than a little tired of the crud from Spotify, Epic and Tile. I get the “we need to stay profitable to stay in business and the 30% cuts into our margins” thing... but these three companies are just coming across as scumbags. There is so much to the App Store beyond just hosting that they pretend doesn’t exist that costs money to develop. There’s the software and hardware development costs, the developer tools (last I checked, Xcode didn’t just magically appear out of thin air...), the hosting, the advertising, the financial transactions... their PR likes to pretend that these things don’t exist and that Apple is just taking 30% of pure profit for themselves.... -

You'll need an iPhone 14 to see all of AT&T's 5G network
B-Mc-C said:Here in Orange County, CA, I get regular AT&T 5G, not their 5G+ faster stuff. After reading the recent articles about how great T-Mobile has gotten, and knowing their 5G UC is supposed to be amazing, I tried the new 90 day test drive last week. My plain old AT&T 5G is 150mbps, T-Mobiles 5G UC was 41mbps. The upstream was abysmal, coming in at 2Mbps on T-Mobile vs 24mbps on AT&T. I have tested this in many areas around here and the results are similar. You really do get what you pay for. Very excited about this even faster midband and love that it will be restricted to only the latest devices. -

AirPods & Apple Watch market share insight opens debate on consumer choice
thedba said:Correct me if I'm wrong, but do other watches work with an iPhone through an app? If someone wanted a Garmin or a Fitbit, wouldn't that work on an iPhone? -
