How is forcing an homogeneous, competitive market model across all platforms not anti-competitive?

Well it’d better have an HDMI & USB-A ports and look just like an expensive version of the others or there’ll be hell to pay! I’m surprised at this. Given the specialisation I thought they would produce a custom processing block for AR renderin…

“Everyone's enough of a genius to fix an iPhone” Er, no. They not. They’ll screw it up & blame Apple but not before they’ve bleated about how ‘the same parts’ are available at a fraction of the price from AliExpress… without QA… or Apple firmwar…

What a great feature. For 2020.

Surely employment = exploitation like it does in China.

#MeToo was always about leverage for career progression or compensation not justice. Implicit grievance for explicit reward.

Apple should have only conceded fee% in return for broader device category (iOS/iPadOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS) & 1st party framework support by the developer; 1 device = 30%2 devices = 25%3 devices = 20%4 devices = 15% But only for genuine UIKit/A…

Anilu_777 said: So Apple is advertising and bringing more users to apps whose developers resent it because they buy the app through the App Store which is NORMAL buyer behaviour!! What am I missing here?! Clearly you’re missing the self-en…

“when you buy from Apple: sorry, you're Apple's customer, not ours” So they admit that we’re Apple’s customers. That would mean it’s they who are poaching customers, not Apple.

Surely, because developers are now able to ‘steer’ Apple’s customers away to their stores, then Apple are able to reciprocate? Or that would be anti-steering. Lets hope those developers also offer in-app purchases on the App Store too, otherwise tha…

Because post-Jobs/Ive Apple has transitioned from skating to where the puck is going to be to skating to where the puck was a few years ago. If the vocal minority want "faster horses" - new Apple delivers! They'd rather pursue marketshare than produ…

Whilst I get legislation protecting consumers from corporate abuse, this has nothing to do with that. There is no actual consumer benefit in these ‘open’ systems. To transfer payment systems control from the product manufacturer to one of its suppli…

“the child will be given the option to message someone they trust for help” - I think Apple needs to research paedophile behaviour a little better, the perpetrators are often ‘trusted’ & deferring this decision to a child is the ugly side of emp…
