Apple should simply drop fees to some ridiculously low level in the EU (5% for small developers, 8% for everyone else). There’d be no reason for any developer to want to roll their own store and go through all the hassles of processing payments, cur…

AppleZulu said: Not that consistency has any relevance in this administration, but you’d still have to think that the existence of the Trump phone, even as temporary vaporware, now shields Apple (and others) against the previous threat of a “…

I think the word Sherlocked gets used too much. Certain features are supposed to be a part of the base operating system: File manager, calculator, browser, mail, clipboard, gallery, cloud and so many more. If you’re a developer that makes an App t…

Seen a few comments on ASML. If the EU regulated ASML and their monopoly like they do Apple then ASML would be forced to give competitors and startups access to their proprietary technology so ASML doesn’t have an unfair advantage. avonb7 is stil…

Funny how WWDC brings out the haters/whiners.

Sweeney the Weenie lying as usual. Both he and Daniel Ek of Spotify are trying hard to be the most despised CEO in tech.

Isn’t Epic banned from the US App Store anyway? I thought the original ruling stated that since Epic violated the TOC of being a developer that Apple was fully within their right to terminate their developer account. So this isn’t a win for Epic, b…

“Helps consumers” What a load of crap. It only helps line the pockets of entitled whiny developers (like Epic & Spotify). App prices haven’t come down like they said would happen with competition (we saw this already when Apple reduced fees fr…

The M3 Ultra is easily worth the price if you’re a professional photographer or videographer. Even it only comes out 20% faster, how many hours in a year will that save you? High-end machines always face diminishing returns in performance vs dollar…

AniMill said: Did Apple just Sherlock the Blackmagic Camera app? I just used the BMC app for recording a Keynote presentation to an external SSD and the iPhone 15 Pro got stupid hot. Is this normal? No. With Blackmagic I can pair the Tilt…

narwhal said: Qualcomm and Microsoft will debut Snapdragon X Elite Windows laptops in May that they claim match the specs of a base model M3. I suspect Apple wants to release a faster iPad before then to take a bit of wind from their sails. …

Data that leaves your iPhone doesn’t mean it’s being “collected” by Apple. The article even mentions services like Continuity that require data to be transferred so devices can work together. Further, data that leaves your device and goes to Apple …

"For years, Apple responded to competitive threats by imposing a series of 'Whack-A-Mole' contractual rules and restrictions that have allowed Apple to extract higher prices from consumers, impose higher fees on developers and creators, and to throt…

Doubtful. I believe Apple has talked with Google and Microsoft in the past about possible partnerships (like all big companies do). Then a few journalists looking for their next headline saw this and expanded it into an entire story that Apple has…

socalrey said: Apple probably knew all along that they would have to acquiesce and give the dev account back. But at least now the EU is held as responsible as Epic since they publicly came to their rescue/defense. Seems a good strategy in ke…

People are missing the key part of this. Apple stating Epic has agreed to abide by rules “including our DMA policies”. It’s been 6 weeks since Apple announced rules for third party stores that some people (like Sweeney and Ek) are calling “maliciou…
