In this era of COVID we should let science be telling us what is safe and what is not safe, not use logic like "I can repair my brakes, so I should be allowed to repair my smartphone." Indeed, science decide what safe is, but every individual …

cloudguy said: Would you buy an Apple-branded 6G edge relay station? Of course you would especially if Apple told you that it was a HomePod, Apple TV or something else! Of course not. What a silly question. An edge relay station is …

mjtomlin said: Of course they are. Apple is going to want some of its IP included in the standard to level the playing field when it comes to licensing. That will be tough. The big chunk of IP of 5G (and supposedly also of 6G) is on the…

qwerty52 said: AppStore is not the only place where Epic can sell their apps. That is a rather silly argument. It is like saying to Epic, you are not allowed to sell in the USA, and that is OK because the rest of the world is big enough…

sflocal said: This sounds like a similar situation that went on in Australia when certain banks filed a lawsuit demanding NFC access. They lost and eventually allowed ApplePay. This all comes down to who has control of the end-user's informa…

I have seen claims here on how ARM-based Macs are going to significantly increase market share. I am the owner of a small software company that has standardized on 2 development machines. About 1 out of 2 developers chooses an Apple MBP, the …

hexclock said: Why don't all these software wizards write their own OS and put it on their own devices? Then they can sell software any way they choose. Or maybe they should just pay the damn 30% and earn a decent living off the billion or so…
