As others have just posted the revenue stream is not just from selling services to the customers directly but by selling data to insurance companies, advertisers and I would add law enforcement to the mix.

The internet is dead from scam websites, pop-up reviews for every trivial task, click bait headlines, AI-pushed addiction feeds etc etc. I love Apple Insider and I pay the subscription and would be willing to pay more for it so I do want this site …

The idea that some want people to go through a new set-up process in their old phone for the sake of browser choice is having the cure be worse than the disease. The Apple approach of having a Safari start-up be the trigger for this seems better fo…

This also speaks to the trouble with the Chinese economy writ large. I am sure this scene is being duplicated throughout China in other industries.

I doubt the EU will achieve their aims of having a flourishing tech industry with this degree of over-regulation and what seems to be mere politcally motivated persecution of American companies. The USA should counter this EU over-regulation with n…

VictorMortimer said: Nice! Apple's behavior has been absolutely horrendous for years. The EU (and the rest of the world) needs to demand normal software installation on ALL computers, and that includes iPads, phones, watches, and game consol…

I just got back from Europe and was surprised about the penetration of contactless payments. Using ApplePay I was able to use any of my credit cards from my Apple Card to my Amazon Visa to an unaffiliated MC. My AmEx was largely useless in the EU …

Thanks William and to re-emphasize, the vast majority of apps are either largely free after a nominal developer fee or 15% for small businesses. These legal actions are being largely driven by complaints from Apple’s competitors who often charge th…

With “this shot across the bow,” the success of the AVP is almost assured. Steve Jobs and Apple have been notoriously against pornographic uses of Apple products and devices but it is clear that the right tools need to be in place for the creation …

The issue that the DOJ misses here is finding consumer harm. Those of us that want our walled garden feel just fine about our interoperability. It is becoming more and more obvious that was is driving this are complaints from other companies. The…

10,000 text messages to a single journalist??? That’s equivalent to how many text messages I have exchanged with my wife over 5 years. He should’ve been fired for not working.

I do think sports and venue immersion feeds are the future for some of the VisionPro demand. There may be technical issues, i.e. the number of immersive cameras available, their expense & difficulty in manufacturing that we are unaware of, etc.…

He appears to be in his happy-zone doing stuff like this. The guy puts in 16 hour days, let him be. Apple can chew gum and walk at the same time. It’s a big company.
