  • EU proposing USB-C smartphone charger standard

    chelinchelin
    Personally this would be a a win for myself, iPad, Cameras, GoPro, MC Helmet all are using USB-C, the fact that I have to carry around a lightning cable for AirPods (Max & Pro) and the iPhone is pretty silly really.

    About this being a regulation; this is exactly where you want regulation as a consumer, no one seems to be complaining that not every house have different power plugs. It is a win for both consumers and third party vendors. Kudos EU!

    I’m just hoping for better app to profile integration. Today it is pretty much useless

  • Apple earned over $100 million from 'Fortnite' [u]

    Epic may have developed Fortnite, but Apple continues to create more and better iPhones, which in turns brings in customers, and loyalty, and provides a service level that few companies can provide and an entire ecosystem that makes freeloaders like Epic a lot of money.  30% is chump change compared to how it was in the early years of boxed software.

      
    Consumers pays for the iPhones, which gives Apple a fair piece of change already. The comparison of AppStore with a brick and mortar store is simply ludicrous. If that was the case Apple should be charging by the square footage [MBs] of storage and transport not what the product actually costs.

  • Intel announces technology team restructuring amid 7nm woes

    chelinchelin
    I’m quite torn here. I generally do not have a problem for consumer grade custom CPUs. However one obvious risk with moving off the x86_64 architecture is that necessary developer tools such as hypervizors and products such as Docker and Java will not be readily available. Apple gained a lot of enterprise developers once they moved to Intel. 
    Now their work laptop will probably be some Linux variant. This means less awareness and higher threshold to write iOS apps. I could be wrong, but I think Apple would have better long term chances. It will take years, only time will tell

  • Apple's AirPower charging mat may not be cancelled after all

    chelinchelin
    I still do not see how it is practical to lay down the iPhone. Sure the AirPod case and the watch. But for the desk I want my phone to be standing so that FaceId works.
    i guess this could be to nice for the bedside but it seems a little bit steep with $200 plus for a bedside thing?
