Meta's verified system worked better when it was based on social eminence, the verification procedure included a requirement to show press coverage of yourself or profile. Just like on twitter, it wasn't only about being who you say you are, but th…

Imagine how much more they would have if they didn't have Apple standing in the way with confirmation-based IAP and making available refunds for legitimate accidental purchases. (It's a lot more than a 30% cut.)

Which brings to mind: why does Google have absolutely no way of contacting anyone there? No support, no helpline, nothing.

What I like about this most is that if true - it yet again demonstrates that analysts aren't any better than rumourmongers (or more cynically: stock price manipulators.)

Among the major platforms, iOS has the lowest amount of malware outright: when weighted against the number of users this figure becomes even more impressive. Android unsurprisingly has the most malware due to an array of factors, not limited to repe…

AliveCor will need to succeed in their patent appeal which was already declared unpatentable. That's a pretty high bar to pass and likely why the Biden administration didn't get involved – it's a problem that solves itself: If the court rules the pa…

This really is a wait-and-see scenario, the Mac Pro has looked like a lot of different things over the years, including dual-chip variants. We’ve heard many similar rumours about Apple Silicon, which haven’t eventuated. The fact that the pundits c…

Seems more like the EU not wanting to back down against an American company rather than solve a real problem. The issue of vendors using different plugs was largely addressed back when microUSB became available, prior to that companies, including Ap…

The phrase is "the best camera is the one that is with you", and the advent of smartphones has proven this innumerably. A lot of the comparisons that are taking place are like trying to compare the iPhone to a DSLR, then to a RED camera, then to an …

Shouldn't such a bypass feature be opt-in, rather than opt-out (esp. as history has shown us how effective opt-outs are.) After all the reason why certain right-wing political messages were getting filtered to spam is because they were imperceivabl…

Lobbying really does make the world turn. Both in the US and the EU we've seen these initiatives being spearheaded by companies that are neither suffering nor even "losing" to Apple in their business endeavours - it's the same story: developers whos…

I'm not sure what they were expecting, the bulk of the interior is a large purpose-built cooling system...

Today is iPhone pre-order day, the busiest and most commercially important day of the year for the apple website. Yet the front page is now in dedication to qe2. This earns them quite some respect in my view, to prioritise humanity over profit.

Of course the bands will fit. The lug width is nowhere near fully utilised, with apple sports band having nearly ~5mm on each side that is immediately tapered inwards. There isn't a need to widen the lug to support different band designs. Rather the…

There is a vocal minority that has been busy trying to frame app tracking transparency as a means for Apple to bolster ads inside the app store, and simultaneously implying that Apple uses data improperly to generate those ads. However Apple only pr…

It's a hilarious lawsuit because it attempts to frame apple patching exploits (each one with a public CVE) as a direct attack on Cydia. Why? Because Cydia relies on jail breaking and those exploits are usually required for the jailbreaks to occur. …

This is plain silly and shows a limited understanding of technology. If the EU really want to control a smartphone, they're big enough to fork Android and produce their own phone, they don't need to be designing iOS/iPhone by legal proxy. A fair ch…

The bill seems to target the recently exposed behaviour of Google rigging the auction system to maximise ad spend on their network. This behaviour falsely inflated the price of advertising for ad buyers. Something that was only possible as Google we…

Always sad to see how other companies are still playing the “make it the same but give it a twist” game when it comes to designing their devices. You can see apple’s design solutions through all of the accessories. Why can’t a company as big as goog…

Ever since USB-C launched numerous voices including Kuo have repeatedly claimed that Apple only keep the lighting connector to protect a revenue source inside of the MFi program. Despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary and that the bulk of …
