It’s like a bunch of guys from Hacker News decided to test their anti-apple posturing with an actual court case and tada it was a dud because their claims are as ridiculous as the $200B damages estimation. So of course they are baffled, these peop…

An apple cloth is a great way to keep your apple devices tidy without fear of scratching the highly polished surface. A Tesla whistler is a great way to warn others when the Tesla auto drives into another car, pedestrians or off the road.

I'm all for consumer protections. However if a law is not applied evenly across all industries, then it's merely a vehicle of extortion.

I understand where people are coming from with this - but you know what this actually looks like? It looks like a vocal minority had down rated the app, and now that more people are being prompted to rate it, the rating is now a fairer reflection o…

This seems like the right time to do it - in this environment where self-service is gaining moment, when someone inevitably destroys their device, it’s relatively straight forward to push against the inevitable blame - that this was the user’s decis…

This situation does more to reveal how completely out of touch some developers are with commerce and the business of apps - I would not be at all surprised to see an overlap between these complaints and those that don't seem to grasp that contributi…

Having the apps as separate listings as well as catalogued in the main app is *better* for Netflix. It means that instead of just one entry point to their subscription service, a user can be onboarded from possibly hundreds of locations in the app s…

Facebook inc is the best example of why you don't surround yourself with yes-men. It's dead, we're all just waiting for the funeral.

Worth noting: Apple's services explosive growth has occurred exclusively after the introduction of their various subscription services (2015 onwards). It's a bit hilarious to see people targeting the App Store thinking it's the golden goose, it's li…

Not mentioned: the state of smartwatch processors is dismal. Apple's custom silicon is now years ahead of the closest competitor.

Oh I expected it to bump into the side and make the chutoy sound. /s

If the iPad doesn't need one, the Mac won't either.

I'm curious how much of Apple's 15%/30% cut goes into these kinds of activities and the actual running of the stores. Data-center costs: the raw equipment, staff, power, expansions/upgrades, machine maintenance and green projects to run these at net…

AppleCare+ goes well beyond the territory of the general warranty and does provide real value. On theft/loss it is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the equivalent portable contents insurancethe device replacement speed is literally 1-2 days versus months…

Apple can't refund users who go down this route. But even if Apple's cut was 0% developers wouldn't be happy. Take Gruber's example about the New York Times - if the subscription was made through the app using IAP: then unsubscribing is a simple ta…

I'm skeptical that one of Apple's most important business units is not being carefully managed with visibility all the way up the ladder. So I'm willing to believe this story if they can provide some real evidence. Otherwise it's just like "the big…

I don't really believe the arguments from plaintiffs that file in E Texas.

There are so many types of chip specs that can be touted, but ultimately it's the experience that these can deliver which is important. The A-series offers a wide range of additional processing capabilities which are not easily measured by benchmark…
