apple4thewin said: I learned this in the 6th grade. It’s called a “Pocket Veto”. Apple doesn’t do anything about it, so they aren’t agreeing or denying it. So, can Apple really be at fault for it? They could just say they didn’t have the time…

Guys, enough of this robotic assembly stuff. Apple has been making iPhones for 18+ years, if it were easier/cheaper to build/operate a robot than use humans, I'm sure they already would have started deploying them. I'm sure there is increasing autom…

While Apple's Apple Silicon reveal at WWDC 2020 was certainly important, it was really the final piece of the puzzle. They controlled the entire hardware/software stack for the iPhone (by then the dominant revenue source) for years. Some people qui…

Tim & Co. don't want to serve niche markets. As we all know, they pulled the plug on the popular iPhone mini series after just two releases, abandoning a market that is unserved by the competition. Maybe the margins were too low. And I can't ima…

I truly doubt anyone from Apple management reads the forum comments at Apple news sites however hopefully they will understand that they squandered a LOT of customer trust from Batterygate. While they continued to state that they did not intentiona…

Yes, best to avoid using this feature until Apple gets some brains and figures out how to exclude items from the recommendation algorithm. In the long run, they need to figure this out without user intervention. Joe Consumer isn't going to spend the…

AppleInsider said: Businesses will start paying the price for those moves, if they haven't already. That toll has already begun on the already beleaguered Main Street retail, and will expand to the bigger guys soon enough. There are already …

As others have pointed out, it's about individual usage cases. Heck, for many people, their individual usage cases aren't the same every single day of the year. My iPhone 12 mini's battery is normally very fine for the majority of days. However whe…
