  • Lightning iPhones get real USB-C support with custom case

    Also, other than not needing to have a Lightning cable around, what's the point?
    I agree. There's literally nothing new here other than integrating the Lightning to USB-C Adapter into a case which is interesting at best. Will I now replace go and replace all of my families cases for all the different iPhones with new ones? Certainly not... We're quite accustomed to having both USB-C and Lightning cables around, luckily we were able to eliminate all uses of Micro USB.

  • Apple eyes Apple Pay expansion into Asia and Europe, looks to roll out in 'every significant market

    profprof
    It really sucks that they're failing to properly speed this up worldwide. By the time we receive have Apple Pay in Europe it'll be mostly useless because all credit cards will have been swapped for contactless cards anyway.

  • Tim Cook tried to kill Texas App Store age verification bill by calling the governor

    If the user is a minor, their account must be linked to a parent or guardian, who would then have to approve each app download -- a feature that Apple already provides.

    I would love this to be true. Unfortunately kids can install any app if it's free (and within the age restrictions) or is a paid app one of the adults paid for and family sharing is on.

    I don't understand why Apple can't implement a full control over the apps a kids can use... call it family MDM. The current implementation is borderline useless.

  • The EU is betraying iPhone users and weakening privacy for political gain

    You're so horribly misguided in your smear piece but one question that keeps on popping up in my head: Why the frog do you even give a shit? Cui bono? As you've said so eloquently yourself: We Europeans have not requested your opinion and are even less looking for you to be our saviour. If Apple decides that the European market is not relevant enough to comply with the DMA; fair game to not serve it or less well then. I'm thinking hard of desirable features which are missing, I can truly live without the (botched!) Apple AI and US people do envy us for the ability to have third party app stores already... If you want to moan and bitch about bonkus laws, try the UK for the back door requirements or the US for their spy laws... oh wait, supposedly doesn't bother you due to being a US citizen: frog the f off!
