Dead_Pool said: Is this sort of racial preference still legal? Say what? There are countless scholarships and various programs targeted to groups of people all over the world. There’s nothing illegal about someone (or some company) wantin…

My 13 Pro Max I’m using at work is at 87% and I got it at launch. So a month shy of 2 yes and 13% loss, or 6.5% a year. I’ll check our 14’s when I get home. On a side note, I saw someone conducting a poll online about whether or not Android should …

The “spirit of the law” is quite clear in Apple Developer Guidelines. Removing the ability for someone to block another account eliminates their ability to prevent “bullying”, an activity clearly stated by Apple in more than one area of their guidel…

iPad all the way. You get a proper processor and not some stupid phone processor stuffed into a tablet. After all these years no Android vendor has ever bothered to make a faster chip for their tablets whereas Apple started doing that waaaay back w…

OK, where are all the idiots who have claimed Apple has granted access to the government so they can spy on your iPhone?

Funny thing is if Apple loses it only helps other developers but not Epic since they’re banned from The App Store.

Isn’t this meaningless for Epic? Even if Apple had to allow outside purchases, Epic is still banned from The App Store (AFAIK) due to their breech of contract. It would be kinda funny if Apple lost and other developers started using outside payme…

I see AppleInsider already has over 2,000 followers. Curious what you think of that?

EU is run by idiots. When am I going to be allowed to bypass the “gatekeepers” at VW Group, BMW and Mercedes so I can install Apps of my choice in their infotainment systems? When are they going to force console makers like Nintendo, Sony and MS to…

Meh. Got permanently suspended from Twitter (was expecting it but it took longer than I thought). Created a second account (a right-wing Trump fan) to go along with my main “left wing” account. Started posting identical, but opposite posts on each…

Once again the EU showing their stupidity in trying to regulate an industry that needs no regulation, while also opening the door to abuse. As pointed out, you can already move the majority of your data without restrictions. The actual “restriction…

While some Apps aren’t finished or shown doesn’t mean Apple is behind. It only means Apple didn’t want to demo them for some reason. It wasn’t a live event so it can’t be about the worry of something acting up mid presentation. They could be holding…

Lower App prices. Why do these regulators always promote this lie? When Apple and Google dropped fees to 15% for smaller developers, did they drop prices? No, they kept the extra profit for themselves. The developers promoting this (like Epic) are…

They’ll lose again. Spectacularly. The fact Ireland is now part of OECD only helps Apple since the taxes the EU is looking for pre-date this tax agreement. They’re basically admitting Ireland was operating using a loophole that’s now been closed. A…

Apple trolling Google. Bad Apple. Google I/O starts tomorrow. Besides the Pixel Fold the other new hardware announcement will be the new Pixel Tablet, years after leaving the tablet market. Google has been hyping Android tablets recently and makin…

Apple went about this the wrong way. They should wait until Qualcomm/Nuvia release a processor, then analyze it for any IP that belongs to Apple. Then they could sue Qualcomm for using their IP, or force Qualcomms hand in cross licensing cellular pa…

lkrupp said: Government regulations being proposed will make this ‘victory’ moot. So maybe Epic can open its own app store in the EU but not in the U.S. ? How ill that be handled? This will kill any proposed legislation in the US. Nobody …
