  • App Store terms probably won't stop X from turning off the block feature

    The “spirit of the law” is quite clear in Apple Developer Guidelines. Removing the ability for someone to block another account eliminates their ability to prevent “bullying”, an activity clearly stated by Apple in more than one area of their guidelines.

    Direct messages are only one way to bully someone. Constantly showing up in a persons threads and making comments is another form of bullying. I think Apple will respond if Musk removes the ability for users to block any account they wish.

  • Apple iPad Pro vs. Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 - compared

    iPad all the way.

    You get a proper processor and not some stupid phone processor stuffed into a tablet. After all these years no Android vendor has ever bothered to make a faster chip for their tablets whereas Apple started doing that waaaay back with the A5X.

    Far superior Apps on the iPad. Google is trying for the umpteenth time to take Android tablets seriously with yet another “initiative” while the iPad has enjoyed tablet optimized Apps since the the beginning.

    Android phones are competitive to the iPhone but Android tablets are a joke compared to the iPad.

    OK, where are all the idiots who have claimed Apple has granted access to the government so they can spy on your iPhone?

  • Epic asks U.S. Supreme Court to enforce lower court's App Store order

    Funny thing is if Apple loses it only helps other developers but not Epic since they’re banned from
    The App Store.

  • Apple faces App Tracking Transparency antitrust probe in France

    So long as Apple is not using those third-party restrictions to gain an unfair advantage, I cannot see how they could possibly be in violation of any law
    That may be one of the issues. Do they?

    They don’t and you damn well know it. Apple doesn’t do tracking across Apps or other services or web pages. This is why you never see searches done on Apple services start to show ads for things you’ve previously searched for (like you see with Google or Facebook).

    Must be upsetting to see Apple show concern for users privacy while your favorite company (Google) is just an advertising firm masquerading as a tech company.
