  • Apple wants to expand CarPlay to control more features of your car

    We'll have to see what they come up with. I think touch screens require more of the driver's attention, for example, for changing AC/climate settings than simple dials and buttons as currently used. It will have to really well thought out to avoid an increase in driver distraction.

  • Epic and Samsung send 'Free Fortnite' care package with jacket, Galaxy Tab S7 to influence...

    What, is Apple supposed to carry and serve Epic games from their server farms for free? Whether there can be a negotiation between Apple and the biggest game developers is another question. Apple has already volunteered lower costs to small developers. The problem is that Epic's kind of argument ("Apple is a monopolist, poor us, poor consumer") tend to resonate with certain regulatory bodies, such as in the EU. I don't ever want to see third party app stores for iOS - this would mean the end of the safety and privacy protocols that Apple has given us with the walled (hallelujah) garden of the App Store. Android is rife with malware because they do not police submissions to their store for malware, and they (e.g., Google) certainly don't care about privacy in the wild. A ruling to force Apple to allow third-party apps on iOS would fundamentally change the platform for the worse. Epic - no free rides, or should I get to play your games for free forever, with no advertisements. Why do you get to offer a product/service for profit, but you want to deny Apple payment for the service they offer you. You would not be in the position you are today apart from the App Store and access to iOS users. Maybe this is a big negotiation ploy? Despite the beliefs and practices of some, negotiation is NOT all about creating leverage over the other, but, at its best, each party looks at the goals of the other and looks for a way to achieve both, albeit with some compromise.
