Apple cites bevy of scared users to back up its case against the EU DMA
The issue most people are not understanding, especially the corrupt EU, is that once sideloading is possible, malware will be much easier to install on many iPhones. Just because I will never allow sideloading on my iPhone doesn't mean that my iPhone won't be subjected to malware from people who now have malware on theirs sending their malware to my iPhone through email and messages. The biggest malware will be government-sponsored and required apps, which some countries already force users to install. I will no longer have a choice, it will be made for me by government agencies demanding to have access to my personal items. I'm saying this because I know what can happen and have actively worked on securing Apple hardware for the last few decades. What the EU is doing is opening Pandora's box and they don't care. -
iPhone 16 Pro expected to get Pro Max's Tetraprism lens
I give credit to Apple designers in their effort to expand the camera capabilities of iPhones but there comes a time when designing exterior sets of lenses might be a better option for many users. Traditional camera users have always purchased exterior lenses to meet their specific needs. I have some Sandmarc external lenses and will probably purchase their brand new 6x, focusable telephoto lens. This lens screws into the Sandmarc case, properly positioning the lens in relationship to the iPhone camera lens. I know iPhone users might want everything within the phone but there comes a time when there won't be enough room to put quality camera components inside such a small device. Of course having both would serve everyone's needs. -
Apple faces 500M euro fine following EU music probe
rhbellmor said:As an Apple shareholder I hope Apple has factored this cost of doing business in Europe into their pricing in Europe. Seems to me Europe looks at large U.S. tech companies like Apple to pay for their bloated national budgets. -
Apple continues to brace for big EU App Store changes in third developer betas
I'd rather see Apple shut down the EU App Store instead of giving into these corrupt politicians who haven't the faintest idea what's going on. Sorry EU Apple (and non-Apple users). Apple is an American company. If you don't like the way Apple product's work, go ahead and try to make something yourself. Oh, wait. You tried and Apple blew you apart with much better products and you simply can't compete with anything so the only thing you can do is complain. -
