DnykjpRfC6fnBs said: So honest question: why is Apple the bad guy here? You can bypass the 30% by offering purchases on a website and Apple is out of the loop. Also why is Google getting the free pass as their Play store (or whatever it’s cal…

I find some of the Apple apologists arguments interesting. It boils down to this: "You professionals aren't important enough for Apple to make products that fit your needs. You're not mass market enough." Apple even said that XCode development wa…

I'm not sure how that would help me. I tend to sleep, every night, like some slacker...and my poor phone has nothing better to do but sit on the charger while I laze it up. So, not sure how < 1 day battery helps me. I'm amused to this co…

You know what I'd like in a new iPhone? A substantially bigger battery. If they just take a 6s Plus, make it about twice as thick, and fill all that space in with battery (and lose the camera bump), then I imagine I could get 3-4 days of casual us…

Beginning with the iPhone 5S, PIN guesses are managed in the hardware Secure Enclave, rendering such an attack useless.Unless of course someone discovers a bug in Apple's hardware implementation. Hardware bugs are reasonably common, and are usually…

Instead of bitching about Apple stock being undervalued, go buy some AAPL if you believe (as I do) that Apple's future is bright. This negative sentiment is just a buying opportunity. Apple could very well prove everyone wrong by releasing a fanta…

The iPhone EarPods may well be made to "see if the sound works", but Beats' headphones are "made to see if the sound can be distorted with excessive bass and treble". Or, perhaps, the Beats' headphones are "made to see if fools and money are easil…

Yes, it's completely inappropriate for DOJ to go after Apple. Going after big companies like Microsoft is fine, but not Apple! While Apple is a great innovator, I do think the evidence points to Apple colluding with the book publishers to raise …

Well, I'm saying that auto updates should be an option in iOS. Even if people like Evilution won't chose to use it, those of us who would like it should be able to. The way Android implements auto update is that you have a (optional) system…

Maybe Google has a patent on the auto-downloading + installing of free updates. Seriously, I really wish my iDevices would automatically update their applications without prompting me (for authentication or even to say "yeah, download the u…
