  • Developers rail against Apple App Store policy in wake of House antitrust hearing

    chadbagchadbag
    Boo hoo 

    I work a day job as an iOS SW engineer but I also do side work for others as well as an app of my own (currently not available as it needs to be updated) and I like the App Store as it does allow me to compete against the big moneyed interests.  

    It is not perfect and Apple makes mistakes but overall it has opened up whole markets I couldn’t reach by myself.  

    I grew up in the Apple ][ era and remember small developers trying to hock their games in plastic baggies with photocopied inserts and the backs of magazines.  And the later Computer City era where shelf space was only for the big guys.   What Apple offers now is heaven in comparison.

  • OpenCore Computer attempts sale of Hackintosh systems

    This is a scam.  This is why they demand payment in bitcoin.  So you can’t get your money back when they don’t ship.  This is why they don’t care about Apple’s lawyers nor the OpenCore name use concerns etc.  

    This is all my speculation of course.

  • Apple sued for allowing loot boxes in App Store

    I would bet the lawyers went advertising for a lead plaintiff.   This is 100% a lawyer driven grab.   They are gambling, ironically, that their free work will payoff big.

    Can they be sued for that? Selling a product that you later find out was intentionally hobbled?
    As long as the product sold meets the specs promised then any suit is unlikely to be successful.  It does not matter if there are extra bits “in the box”, so to speak.  You did not pay for them so you are not losing anything.  

     This “binning” process is well known across the whole industry and used by most all semiconductor manufacturers.

    Nice promotion and all, but I would have thought passengers on a cruise ship would already have phones. 

    Also: only less than a quarter of the people have been tested? Priorities people!
    Apparently they wouldn’t be able to access iTunes to download the app since they’re probably in a different iTunes region then their Apple ID. 
    That is not how it works.  The App Store is not limited by the physical location of the phone.  I download stuff when in Japan all the time from the US App Store as my main Apple ID is registered in the US, where I live.  I also have an Apple ID registered in Japan at my MIL’s address that I use in the US to download stuff from the Japanese iTunes/App store. 

    The Japanese Ministry who made the app could just make it available through all App Stores.
