That ContraChrome cartoon would've been great if it hadn't glaringly omitted all mention of Apple. It directly recommended FireFox and "Top Browser" (never heard of it), but somehow the author Scott McCloud hasn't heard of Safari, Mac, iPhone, iPad,…

What I want to know is: Can't Apple remotely disable these stolen items, or disallow them to use Apple's iCloud and other support servers, hence rendering them basically useless, or mostly useless? (Think: deny them iOS updates.) Surely Apple has th…

Apple's ATT — which gives each user the option to allow/disallow tracking for each individual app — is "not sufficiently controlled by competition"? So if market forces don't persuade Apple to let Facebook track all iPhone users whether they like it…

FYI, Northlake Mall has been dying for some time, and Apple was already planning to move out. This latest shooting just provoked a decision to close the store the very next day, likely for the safety of Apple's employees and customers. I presume tha…

venomxxr said: The notion that Apple would leave the EU even if they were hit with a $39B fine is laughable. Check the 10-K. Apple’s revenue was over $95B in Europe in 2022 alone. The EU probably represents >80% of that. Apple isn’t giving…

It was inevitable that somewhere, some day, a government was going to demand such immense fines, and such massive, "antitrust" changes to Apple's products, that Apple would have to bow out of that market until/unless things become viable again. Not …

"We applaud President Biden for upholding the ITC's ruling," AliveCor CEO Priya Abani said in a statement to AppleInsider, "and holding Apple accountable for infringing the patents that underpin our industry-leading ECG technology." I haven'…

NFC is just a standardized short-range wireless protocol for a mobile device to communicate with a point-of-sale terminal. There is nothing in the NFC standard that requires any particular mobile device to participate in any particular bank, credit …

Hedware said: Somehow everybody gets asked except for consumers. As an owner of Apple products, I do not want my privacy and security compromised because some lazy developers want to have open skies. They should attempt to build some decent …

If you banked at Chase, Chase would certainly not share your name, address, transaction history, etc. with third parties — no matter how badly those third parties wanted that information — without first getting your explicit permission. But Chase is…

Apple in its turn has sued Ericsson over what it describes as "standards-essential patents." All patents contained in the 5G phone standard (or 4G before it, etc.) are standards-essential. Nobody is supposed to need permission to use them. N…

If all/most Android phone makers agree to adopt RCS, and if they get it working correctly on all/most Android phones, to the point that Android users are having a smooth, consistent, RCS experience when messaging each other, and the only ones missin…

Didn't this same thing happen in Germany, back in 2013? Motorola got an injunction against 3G-capable iPhones and iPads because Apple refused to license Motorola's 3G patents on FRAND-violating terms. Apple complied with the injunction, and soon aft…

Even if they fairly surveyed random members of the general public, that would include at least 50% Android users, many of whom would be overjoyed to see Apple products ruined, and all of Apple's customers forced to become Android users/developers. S…

In any discussion of Apple's ATT, we should keep in mind that it is up to each individual user to decide whether to allow/disallow tracking, and they can make this choice for each individual app. As long as Apple's own apps respect that user decisio…
