  • Cook's charm offensive: Apple visited Biden's White House 87 times

    Not spending money on lobbying was where Apple blundered in the EU.

  • Apple cites bevy of scared users to back up its case against the EU DMA

    I fail to see why this is an issue for some. If you’re concerned about other AppStores and side loading apps, then the simple solution is to carry on doing what you’re doing with your phone and don’t download from anywhere else expect the  AppStore. It’s really simple. If someone else’s security or device gets compromised then that’s their problem and not yours. Nothing for you to be concerned about. And just to confirm, I’m not in favour of alt app stores or sideloading either. 
    It's easy to understand the issue: the EU doesn't require app developers to provide a version of their app in the App Store. That means that some apps previously available through the App Store could become exclusively available on 3rd party stores. So users could be faced with a choice of downloading from 3rd party app stores or simply not using the app anymore.

  • Reports are spreading about a very specific Apple Vision Pro front glass crack

    foregoneconclusionforegoneconclusion
    LOL…this web site was recommending that people use cases that weren’t designed for the AVP to save some money. Whoops. 
    We still are. The cases cited here are using Apple's case.
    The links cited in the article don't say that. The first one says "packed it away" but makes no mention of what case was used. The second one specifically says that they didn't have a case. The third one is a repeat of the first link...same title, same photo. So none of the links used have any information regarding Apple's case.

    In addition, the person who posted in the first link is theorizing that the glass simply breaks by itself "with no outside force". He wasn't charging it in whatever he "packed it away" in. The person who posted in the second link (who didn't use a case) says that they can't remember if they had covered the glass visor when they charged it. 
    You're obviously welcome to believe what you want, but everybody involved in those posts have other Reddit posts discussing what they own as it pertains to AVP, have other comments in other threads discussing it, and we have more accounts from other users since saying the same thing.
    Read the first link: "There seems to be a consistent manufacturing issue with the glass - my ignorant guess is the unique form creates some tension above the nose that eventually cracks, even without any outside force."
     
    This person is saying that the form of the visor breaks itself.  In other words, they don't think it has any correlation to using a case or not.

    -------

    Read the second link: "I noticed this day 1 with my Vision Pro. I didn't have a travel case at that time, but it is possible when I charged it, I left the front cover on. I honestly don't remember."

    This person is saying the damage appeared before they owned a case.

    -------

    RECAP: first link doesn't relate to using a case, second link doesn't involve a case.

  • Apple TV+ drama 'Masters of the Air' is most-watched series launch ever for the service

    sflagel said: The soldiers depicted as heroes in this series are not morally better humans, they do the same evil acts as the German soldiers do; they just perform evil acts for a better cause.
    I've watched the first three episodes and I wouldn't say they're being depicted as heroes. They're depicted as human beings trying to do the best they can to cope with their responsibilities in situations that are mostly horrific. There's an early episode where they refer to the meal they get before missions as "the last supper". They knew their life expectancy at that time of the war was fairly dismal.

  • Apple faces 500M euro fine following EU music probe

    foregoneconclusionforegoneconclusion
    The EU is desperate to collect a penalty fee. In the U.S. legal system, Spotify wouldn't have had the standing to complain since they had already moved 99% of their iOS subscribers to web payments WITHOUT needing any kind of in-app communication. Nothing about their financial reality supported the complaint. Not the revenue part of it or the communication part of it.
