Judging by the comments, it seems that most of you did not read or understand the article that Mike Wuerthele posted. Apple for the most part already complies with many of these rulings. There are seven key provisions to the law, and most of the att…

First off let's not compare a standard matte display with the nano textured display that Apple offers.The latter is far superior as far as image quality is concerned. If all you do is browse the web and do office work, then you should not consider …

First off, all Apple has are the rebroadcasting rights. I don't think Apple has created its own teams of cameramen, studios, trucks etc. While they are going to be blamed for this, I think technically the problems lie elsewhere. @Jgreg728 How has Ap…

Bundesliga is fine but I would love that Apple TV+ gets streaming rights to the Premier League.FuboTV has the streaming rights in Canada and their interface is god awful. Even the highlights they post on YouTube are grossly underwhelming.

Personally I think a better program would be to charge an extra amount (say 50 euros) per device and at the end of life of said device you exchange it for a newer one and get reimbursed or apply that deposit to the new one. That would incite people …

dave2012 said: thedba said: Take a look at Reply #10 from "yours truly" as to why Apple may take a cut of 15% or 30% from in app purchases or subscriptions. Could that "overhead" be lower? A separate debate I guess. Thanks, sorry…
