Xed said: Apple only ever gets money from you once every 5 years? If I were Apple I wouldn't give you a fucking dime back for your Mac mini lease. Apple gets money from my apps every single day, possibly every hour of every day.

EsquireCats said: What dearly coddled morons. I've fine with Apple cutting the lease short. They should compensate developers for the shortened lease. A $200 coupon sent AFTER the return of the unit is useless though. Devs need the co…

MplsP said: I wasn't aware that the A12 Minis were leased, but essentially you are charging close to the price of a new computer ($500 vs $700) for one year's worth of use... And Apple is asking for them back early, 7 months into the lease…

Xed said: You could afford the $500 for the DTK but not the $600 for an M1 Mac mini? That's a good question. I *CAN* afford a $600 M1 Mac mini, but it's better as a test machine, not a dev machine. The higher-end 16GB M1 Mac mini woul…

I’m surprised Apple announced this on a Wednesday. This is the type of news a government or unscrupulous corporation announces Friday evening before a long weekend.

coolfactor said:The fact that Apple is returning nearly one half of the original fee is more than generous, i say. Again, how can someone complain about this? It's a gift. Just out of curiosity, are you a small developer who ported his apps…

Okay, here’s another thing about complainers on this thread: you’re upset because the bullied kid is gender-nonconforming? It’s irrelevant to the story what the thing is they’re being bullied about. Just pretend the kid is brown and being bullied fo…

I really enjoyed the movie. In one respect it seemed a bit like a Lifetime or Hallmark movie about someone coming back from another life to their hometown and trying to fit in. But the story took place from the man’s perspective, was way more intrig…

This is great for developers running ads who never update their apps. But for developers who update their apps regularly, their apps will appear to App Store customers as more intrusive and dangerous. Apple should add information to older apps too s…

meterestnz said: Well that’s an interesting assumption. I know well off programmers who have Samsung phones because they don’t like “Apple” Out of curiosity, what types of apps and what is their target audience? For me, Android app re…

App sales revenue on Google's Play Store is a fraction of Apple's App Store, so Google dropping its commission to 15% should have LESS effect on Google than Apple. As a developer for both platforms, I'm on the verge of abandoning Android for my US-f…

I suspect Macs will get touch screens at some point. When I read user forums discussing Mac vs. PC, the one thing PC users always bring up is "but my PC has a touch screen." Also, larger window title bars in Big Sur suggest it's happening. In govern…

Same thing happened in MP3 players once Apple had iPods at every $50 increment from $50 to $500. Apple is trying to do that in phones, tablets and watches.

In the US, school districts buy mostly Chromebooks (60% share) with bad screens and keyboards that fall apart in a year. Apple has a tiny, tiny slice of that education market now. This might be an opportunity for Apple to release a bare-bones iBook …

blastdoor said: Believe it or not, Apple used to update the Mac Pro every year, and every time they did that the ones they sold the year before kept working. Yep, Blastdoor's right. From 2006 to 2012, there was a Mac Pro revision every y…

fabin said: Choosing to shoot on iPhones for a show like this isn't a cost decision, it's a marketing decision. Could be Apple provides free equipment for TV and movie production, Sony does not.

Beats said: Did Covid-19 ban TV cameras? Why is everyone suddenly using iPhone? TV cameras are too big and expensive to overnight to a large cast. iPhones and tripods do great video and are cheap in comparison.

If every session will be available live online, let's hope Apple starts doing this every year. Much better than the lottery they've been running. EDIT: Apple should buy, borrow or fork the existing unofficial WWDC app for videos. Why re-invent th…
