So companies can no longer produce integrated solutions, we’re being forced back to components-based computers of the 70s. And all because idiots can be seduced & exploited by giving them choices. Interesting to see how they’ll disintegrate the…

"The dominant position enjoyed by the gatekeepers of the app ecosystem can severely hurt competition and innovation in the market," - I’d like to see anyone prove this. The only examples I’ve seen are for monopolised competitive markets but iOS/iPad…

When is a contract not a contract? This is a disgraceful step for Apple as it allows coercion with the supplier being held harmless i.e. the customer is automatically at fault for canceling the contract (subscription) as the act is deemed of their o…

It would make sense for Apple to adopt RCS as an extra fallback option for iMessage. They should use this elective-2nd-class-citizen paradigm both to promote 1st-class and dodge anti-trust.

It has to run under Rosetta. What was the point?

Apple TV+ content is humming (love Slow Horses) but now the content is OK, Apple needs to flex a little. The future of TV isn’t service A vs service B, it’s how you manage all of them. I have all those major services except Amazon (didn’t like the …

I thought Feral would have pushed a Universal version of the Tomb Raider trilogy by now. It would be great if Apple could assist as gaming is a weak spot which could tip consumers (not the top 15% of gamers) off Macs.

Apple's key point of difference was that Jobs had a stronger personality than Woz so purpose led technology, unique in comparison to the competition and still rare today. From his comments before his death, Jobs clearly wanted Ive to continue to dri…

Thank you guys so much for hitting so many of my pet peeves in one episode. The inconsistency in Podcasts Playing Next queues has been driving me nuts, I noticed it dropped queues after App Resume (when you've switched away for a while) but I also u…

I’m terrified by the number of apps requesting credit card details & having no Apple Pay option. It should be mandatory, as should an App Store payment option for all services (i.e. Netflix) not having this is a serious security issue.

This must really irk the choice-monkeys & as people elect quality over the superficial inclusion of choice-based marketing. It’s almost as if people are waking up. Watch how various governments push to break up Apple’s ‘oppressive’ integrated mo…

Has all the functionality been transitioned to other services for customers outside the US?

entropys said: It’s like the marketing department hasn’t heard of price sensitive elasticity of demand. You’ve just described my country (NZ) we’re constantly trying to turn commodities into luxuries. All the price, none of the quality.

Locking the industry in to a 9-year old technology whilst killing innovation & tech product diversity.

eGPUs are not the solution. Benchmarks aside, they never delivered in terms of application performance. Apple has a long road ahead convincing developers to fully re-architect their products so they could release their own discrete GPU options which…
