Big tech is mostly American and so is an easy target for European regulators. In the end, companies like Apple have to decide if it’s worth doing business in the EU at all. Normally that would be a ridiculous thought but if fines approach annual wor…

It’s hard to see how consumers benefit from allowing banks to set up their own wallets. It is, however, easy to see how banks benefit. It will be interesting to look at Curve’s wallet. Can I put concert tickets, ID cards, boarding passes and other …

One wonders if the fines get large enough if Apple would simply abandon Europe as a market. Seems unlikely but if say the EU issued a $100 billion fine - which is just a 100 day non-compliance period - why would Apple do business there?

anantksundaram said: A rather lame, half-baked, underwhelming attempt at AI. A $3000B company with thousands and thousands of developers and a history of spectacular innovations can’t come up with its own AI? Where do you get that Apple d…

Also, I’m American but I can use Apple Pay in Europe or Asia. I’m fairly confident that many European banks wallets will not work in the US unless they tie into Visa or MasterCard - who will take a cut so there goes the whole support your giant bank…

Although I see a few commenters who want to support their banks, I suspect that there will be downsides that detract from the user experience overall. For example, if I have multiple credit and banking cards issued by different companies, do I now n…

You can setup an Apple Watch to be independent of an iPhone using Family Sharing but it is not fully functional. Calls do work on a cellular Watch but not every feature is available.

Market share is not the whole story; to show an illegal monopoly, the DOJ will have to prove that Apple maintains that market share by coercion, market manipulation or price manipulation. If US consumers simply prefer iPhones by a 2 to 1 margin, tha…

Apple has several options, all of which they are likely pursuing except settling with Masimo. First, Apple is trying to get Masimo’s patents invalidated, likely for obviousness or prior art. If they succeed, no patent equals no infringement and App…

Currently, it is unclear that Masimo will prevail in the long run. Apple will completely end this if: 1. They succeed in having the last two Masimo patents invalidated for obviousness. 2. They can engineer around the patents through software or ha…

Forcing third party app stores isn’t the same as forcing Apple to allow third party in-app purchases on the Apple App Store like Epic is demanding. Apple won’t be hosting or advertising the content. But it still would allow developers to circumvent …

The clarification on the HoloLens actually using holograms is important but misses the bigger point, which is that the VisionPro is aiming for many of the same use cases as the HoloLens does (as it limps along until MS kills it.) The HoloLens 2 pro…

It’s interesting that these litigants are calling the fee excessive but clearly want access to Apple’s customers. They want Apple to host their content, handle updates, payment processing, taxes and maintain the App Store at little to no cost to the…

One thing to know about Verizon is that they only sell Apple Watches and iPads with cellular service. I’m not saying this woman should have known that but it’s something everyone should keep in mind.

Do this immediately as soon as you know your phone is stolen. The thieves will be racing to sign you out of your watch as soon as they get a few minutes to access your Apple ID.

Those labels are for Windows (Ctrl, Alt, Start) or Mac OS (Cmd, Opt). So the function depends on what OS you are in at the moment.

This keyboard also supports Bluetooth Low Energy for direct connections for up to three devices without a dongle. I use it with both my work laptop and home computer. A great keyboard. I agree the backlight is fickle in low light but it doesn’t bot…

You can simply say “Siri, take me to the Home Screen.” using the Siri button on the remote. This works before or after the black screen for me.

Watch the video and you will see the obvious giveaway that a true shutdown did not occur - FaceID was not disabled and the mandatory passcode entry was not required at first unlock. Also recall that the iPhone uses unique text when prompting for the…

Well by this rational, the staff shouldn't be allowed to use a flagship Android but a more typical unit that would be found outside the US/Europe. As kpluck noted, many run Kitkat not to mention less RAM (1.5GB or less) and have slower processors, l…
