Around the world Apple is currently being investigated in 8 different antitrust investigations, has already been found guilty of antitrust violations for their iBooks Store in the US, and in 2019 lost a Supreme Court ruling on how the App Store is r…

Amidst the rumors I have realized the only electronic thing I own that I like and use more than my iPhone are my Bose noise cancelling headphones. And I routinely swap them to use on my MBP and PS4, so the wire's staying.. I guess my phone is gonna …

This article seems pretty far off base.. there is no "Apple Music" app on the iPhone. There is a Apple Music section of the 'Music' app. Since Nielson uses surveys to calculate app usage (they can't place trackers in Apple's apps), the 54.5M number …

yuck9 said: Get ready for the " not selling well" so they lowered the price. Well you don't knock $100 off the price of something that's selling well. I think the answer is pretty obvious though: The Apple Watch is not selling well at Be…

Like the Camera apps that were rejected for using the volume button to take a picture.. Apple can't really let app developers get too far ahead in features and innovations, otherwise Apple might lose its competitive edge. So they hold app developer …

The headline is totally wrong BTW. Universal doesn't decide when a movie leaves theaters, the theater owners do. In the modern movie industry, the *studios* will even talk to the big theater chains (AMC, Arclight, Regal, etc.) about movies in develo…

If Apple's already getting 4K source material, I'd think they're already encoding it to.. which means they've picked their 4K horse. Either a low-bit rate (relative to the resolution) h264 (like YouTube) or h265. If they picked h265, well, we're pro…

"Uber is unlikely to license its maps..." You might have it backwards. Uber has a fleet of cars roaming nearly every major city, 24 hours a day. Uber is in a unique position to pop a rooftop ornament with gps, lidar and a camera on the roof of tho…

Despite what they made it sound like on the phone, I got a totally normal Apple Store email shipping notice with a UPS tracking number in it. So the only thing that was weird about the order was the original "expected delivery date" was way off.. no…

@benz917: I posted about this if you scroll up, but here's an update: The Apple Store page still says mid-May, but today the order mysteriously changed to be uncancellable and switched status to "Preparing for Shipment". So from what Dev support t…

I talked to Apple about this today.. it *seems* like the online Apple Store is being used to process the transaction, but the developer watch orders are really being handled elsewhere, so the Apple Store emails have nothing to do with what's really …

I don't doubt for a second that this is a project to build a 3D street view, *but* I think it's really important to remember that current driverless cars requires huge amounts of highly accurate street level spatial information. You can't just point…

Someone else pointed this out, but to make it really clear: no OpenGL app should be rendering @3X resolution. There are new APIs in iOS 8 that help you get the *screen* resolution of 1920x1080. That's what should be used for testing. So the 6+ shoul…

OK, so not a lot of people are going to pay $40 over the price of a real controller (PS or Xbox) to forward tiny-fidgety controls to their Mac. Controls that get interrupted every time they get a phone call or text and don't include console basics l…

I'm not in Australia. I'd even bet that someone other than Apple was compromised (an Aussie ISP?) and because people reuse their passwords, that would translate into a lot of compromised Apple IDs... but I installed the iTunes update and had to rest…

I wonder if this update is really related to the mass Apple ID hacking that's been happening recently. Especially wondering because installing the update caused my Apple ID to be disabled and I was forced to reset my password...
