    With some of the newer, more expensive technology inside I would assume this would happen. I'm sure there those here who think Apple is just out to screw people though. 
    I regretted when I didn’t buy it for AW1 and after a year, the damn screem popped out and the thing went dead.
    Not that it matters now, but did you try to bring it to Apple anyway? They replaced mine out of warranty for the same thing at no cost. It was happening to the Series 0 a lot after about a year.

  • Sending unsolicited nudes via AirDrop might soon be illegal in NYC

    I did not know this was a thing. People are so weird.

  • Apple is reinventing eye tracking technology to bring it to 'Apple Glass'

    Oh, come on!  You give reading a book as an example of why eye tracking would be useful in AR???  That's just about the dumbest application of AR there is - how is reading *augmenting* reality?
    In the example of a blank notebook (should the user wish to have a physical representation of the book), the words could be imposed on the blank pages. I didn't think that was that hard to imagine...

  • Apple uses platform dominance to 'lock out' competition, says Elizabeth Warren

    I'm all-in with Apple and proudly so, but the guy from Spotify has a very valid point. How can they make a straight profit from Spotify's monthly subscription, and far exceed their own services' profit? In and of itself that fact leads to shutting out the competition because pricing can't be competitive. 

    Then again, Apple created the App Store and should have full control over it and it's pricing if they want to, but when you become a platform allowing 3rd parties to participate and sell, that should have limitations in terms of competition. As it stands today, they're not breaking any laws and deserve to reap whatever income they can, but morally they can't be opposed to Prince's statement in my opinion.
