Apple Intelligence & iPhone mirroring aren't coming to EU because of the DMA
Psamathos said:This seems like a whole load of posturing and blackmail to me. Basically they are saying "we can't enable screen sharing to apps that Apple hasn't authorised because they might allow data to go somewhere that violates the users' privacy". Well, you know, you could always ask the user, couldn't you? Maybe a dialogue box the first time you connect to an app that's not signed by Apple isn't the absolutely perfect user experience, but it's an awful lot better than killing the feature all together. Given that Apple's own app store doesn't have a perfect record on vetting applications, that same pop-up-on-first-connect would probably be useful for Apple App Store apps too.
So no, this isn't EU regulation causing problems. This is Apple causing problems and attempting to blame the EU, because it doesn't want to loose its insanely lucrative monopoly by which is takes 30% of the entire value of the App Store for its own profit.Suck it EU - you reap what you sow. -
Class action suit accuses Apple of selling Macs without needed dust filters
sacto joe said:Sounds like a manufacturing defect, not a design flaw. I’ve certainly never seen this problem personally. I doubt Apple owes anything more than a replacement.
That’s not to say Apple shouldn’t investigate the issue, assuming it hasn’t already done so. And if they haven’t, then someone’s head needs to roll at Apple. -

Apple's Core Technology Fee at the center of EU's first DMA violation investigation
rorschachai said:Apple should just shut down the App Store in the EU and have side loading be the exclusive way to install apps. Wipe their hands of it all and let companies figure out the logistics of marketing, hosting, payment processing, etc themselves.
Apple Intelligence is only the start of features that the EU will be left behind on. -

Apple and Goldman Sachs to part ways on Apple Card, no successor named
ktappe said:I completely understand G.S. not wanting every bill to be due on the 1st of the month. Imagine you're a retailer and all your customers come in on the 1st, leaving you with no customers days 2-30. It's unreasonable of Apple to have G.S. have to handle an onslaught of bills just one day of the month and not be willing to spread them out. As an Apple Card customer, I'd be fine having mine not be on the 1st, but Apple has never bothered to ask. -
Global chaos erupts as Windows security update goes bad
ITGUYINSD said:The headline makes it sound like a Windows Update caused the issue, when in fact, the issue was a 3rd party software company.
Could have been worded better. People are already blaming Windows...this headline doesn't help.Companies that played their cards right and migrated to Linux or Mac are probably having a good chuckle right now.
