Since iPhones back to the iPhone 12 are capable of this function, I wonder if they will eventually open that option. I have a feeling the answer to that will be no, to encourage people to upgrade, and because the satellite system used likely is con…

If apple puts ads in core is apps, I'm out. That cheapens the product and knocks them down closer to the slime that is google. That would take the premium away from the product, so the only way it would be worth getting an iPhone is of they cut th…

Are they going to tax air, tears, perspiration, farts, extra tax on toilet paper? I have no desire to live in a large city. These stupid taxes are just a way to make up for poor decisions and fiscal irresponsibility. Internet services already ha…

It's funny how apple's commission is the industry standard, yet, the ilk of Epic and I'm sure Samsung and other competitors are behind most of the push to make Apple charge less. They were right when they said congress should have to wear fire suit…

It's funny how The "geniuses" in congress and and EU keep trying to force apple to let alternative app stores and sideloading. Crap like this shows another reason apple is right and they are just stages for the likes of Epic games, google, and bad …

Google is such a joke! Let's poke fun at the competitor for having had superior product for a long time, and try to get congress to force them to use our crap! Trolls gonna troll

This is merely a money grab by the attorneys. They will get around 30% of the settlement/judgement plus fees. They get multi-millions while the clients will get a whopping $25. All phones batteries wear down. While their throttling was frustrati…

To the people ragging on apple or the lightning connector, in the time that apple has used the lightning connector, Samsung has gone through at least 3 if not more connectors, micro usb, the weird two headed usb3, and usbc. Talk about the waste of …

Novel idea, ban them from collecting data, till they are able to comply with regulations. I bet they fix this really quickly

Next he is going to cry about parents not giving their kids allowances in Crypto, or schools not accepting crypto payment for school lunches. Sorry, but crypto will always be shadier than using a credit card or debit card, or even cash. Not about t…

darkvader said: I wish they'd hurry it up. It's insane that Apple is still using proprietary ports in 2022, and if it takes legislation to force them to stop, then the world needs that legislation. Yes, keeping the same port since 2012, …

Sure it’s gotta be the account sharing. Couldn’t be the fact that they raised the price again. Couldn’t be that the streaming market is crowded now and competitors have quality content. Borrowing from Timberlake, Cry Me A River! They are practicing …

Yet Senators are gobbling up some of the poo that Mets is shoveling when it comes to Apple. I have lost a lot of respect for the senators attacking the App Store and apple. They need to read Don Quixote.

Sounds like they are following the model ESPN used. They pull features from standard programming (that everyone who has cable or satellite television (whether or not they watch ESPN), and adding it to their premium offering. I pay for HULU, and Dis…

I can see Class action suits be people who have been harmed by this overreach. It’s taking us all back to the days of windows CE. Security was crap, search everywhere to find an app, mass piracy, easy for anyone to make a fake App Store website an…
