  • Apple doesn't care about games, long-time Apple Arcade developers say

    Perhaps this is more a symptom of modern games absolutely SUCKING ASS compared to older ones and people just don't wanna play your stuff???

  • Steve Jobs screamed advice at Starbucks CEO, who wishes he'd listened

    Would've been nice to get a bit more meat to this article, as without basically any substance, this just showcases what we already knew of Steve, that he loved to scream and swear, and that he was right >95% of the time.

  • Apple's new macOS 14.5 update is out but brings only bug fixes

    "but brings only bug fixes"

    I love how this is given a subliminal negative connotation when in fact this is SO needed and actually a VERY positive thing! Not EVERY release has to focus on NEW NEW NEW!!!

  • Popular iOS keyboard SwiftKey disables sync feature after data leak is discovered

    This is why I NEVER have, and NEVER WILL, trust third-party "smart" keyboards! This is basically an open invitation to having all your writings captured, because you never know when the backend will be hacked, cause the companies are usually never forthcoming on such a breach, and with the power of the A9 in the iPhone 6S, stuff like this should, and can, be done locally on the device now, not on the cloud.

    Well put! People against this are idiots as far as I'm concerned, especially in this day and age!

    Both Android and iOS are getting mature at this point and there are very few differences in user experience unless you are already part of the Apple ecosystem, have other Apple devices or friends with Apple devices who you communicate with regularly. Aside from the superiority of Facetime and iMessage, I imagine both platforms are probably about the same from a software perspective, although one big advantage for iOS is the security of the App Store and the ease of OS updates. Clearly, Apple devices are second to none in build quality and are more of a status symbol, which is important to some, but if Android is a lot cheaper and the usability is almost as good, I can see why budget conscious buyers might be attracted to Android phones. Also, at the moment, China is in a slight down turn economically, so that may be a factor as well.

    Personally, I love FaceTime audio. So much better than regular phone calls. Same with iMessage. 
    If you believe even HALF of what you just wrote there, you're not in touch with reality, and have no real grasp about the massive fundamental differences between iOS, and that garbage called Android.
