Class action suit accuses Apple of selling Macs without needed dust filters
I think it's a design flaw. It only started happening to us with the switch to the slim profile iMacs.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.

Lobbying group backed by Apple and Google rails against Open App Markets Act
I’m a pretty big Apple fan, but when someone pays $1000 + for a phone, they deserve the right to do what they want with it. I will still use the App Store, and I’m sure lots still will. But if someone wants to side load god knows what and is fine with the risk then go right ahead.

EU to propose common charger for all smartphones, ignores Apple's protest
It switched to USB-C for laptops because now if the cord is damaged you don’t have to replace the entire charger. Try putting a little more thought into your arguments.80s_Apple_Guy said:Apple with it’s using USB-C for iPads but Lightning for others has no leg to stand on with this argument. It switched its laptops to USB-C creating huge ewaste. Apple likes to argue both sides of the coin when it comes to its costs. Very disingenuous.Smartphones have already saved the world massive amounts of waste. A manuals that took up binders now fit in an iPad, people no longer by cd’s or cassettes, barcode scanners, DSLRs, video cameras, safety equipment, diagnosis equipment, the list goes on and on for how much smartphones divert waste from the landfill (not just e-waste)

Huawei celebrates Nikkei iPhone Ban by posting 2019 greeting from an iPhone
avon b7 said:
Those 'halo' features you mention are clearly having the desired effect. Apple is going to be behind in many areas for almost the entirety of 2019. Sales look to remain flat for Apple while Huawei has set new records for itself with every flagship it released in 2018, shifting almost 50,000,000 more units than in 2017.
Huawei's 2019 looks far more uncertain than Apple's:
a) Carriers around the world are abandoning plans to use Huawei for 5G networks
b) Bad press from the criminal charges levied agains CFO Meng Wanzhou, could hamper sales in North America
c) If Huawei is found in violation of Iran sanction like ZTE was, they could be banned from using US technology. At the very least they will be looking at Billions in fines and change of board of directors.
d) Trump is looking at issuing an executive order, banning Huawei and ZTE equipment from US. https://www.techradar.com/news/trump-considering-formal-us-ban-on-huawei-and-zte
e) Huawei stock is down 50% for the year. Not a good omen for a company that is supposed to "set new records" this year. https://www.google.com/search?q=SHE%3A+002502&oq=SHE%3A+002502&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.238j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Apple to remove popular DOS emulator for iOS from App Store
I’m a pretty big Apple fan but whoever is in charge of the App Store is a straight up idiot. Stupid stuff like this is only contributing to the scrutiny of the App Store and literally bringing its future into question.

Apple decides to skip upcoming Senate antitrust hearing, drawing criticism
There is no way Apple is going to discuss this in the middle of being sued by Epic.

Epic's Tim Sweeney calls Google 'crazy,' says 'Apple must be stopped'
I don’t see how developers are going to like that? You have to pay for both an iOS app and Android app because they both cost money to develop.crowley said:Being able to buy an app once and have the purchase be valid across platforms does have an appeal. -
Apple announces 'Tap to Pay', lets users take payments on iPhone
Stripe is a payment processor, and they work with a number of credit card companies. They are not in the same category as app developers on the App Store.Stabitha_Christie said:
Stipe, mentioned in the article, uses Visa, a 3rd party, for payment processing.dee_dee said:1 million to 1 odds this will only be available to developers that don’t use a 3rd party service for payment.
