Apple has new App Store rules, business terms, and sideloading conditions for EU developer...
What's this personal property noise? You don't own the copy of iOS on your iPhone. That's property of Apple that you have license to use, subject to Apple's terms. If you want to remove it, build your own OS and then build apps for that, you're free to do so. And no, that's not the same as jailbreaking the OS.nubus said:
And let the freedom of apps begin. EU got tired of having a company from California being a gatekeeper on apps.pulseimages said:Let the security breaches begin!
Like having Ford decide where you can go. No longer.
Why do the red states accept that a company from San Francisco place personal properties of their citizens in a padded cell?
Is it the "Make America Less Free" movement? Or "California knows what is best for us"?
Perhaps do an amendment "the right to install apps" or "freedom to use the apps you want"?
Not sure if we can fit the Statue of Liberty in the EU HQ, but we will give it a try :-D

“Apple is now going to notarize all iOS apps, regardless of where they are sold. It says this will mean protecting users from security issues, but will not also include the same App Store Review that Apple now provides.”Is there a loophole here? Couldn’t an app developer who intends to distribute through an alternate App Store simple first submit their app to Apple’s App Store to get Apple to do an App Store review and then, once that’s passed with any issues found by Apple and corrected by the app developer, pull the app from Apple’s App Store, add back any privacy holes or other non-Apple-app-store compliant code, and then take it through the alternate apps store process. This would get Apple to do a bunch of QA for free.I’m assuming Apple’s App Store review is a fairly detailed QA process. -
Apple Vision Pro is not the iPhone, and faces an incredibly steep uphill climb
Must Apple only serve consumer needs in Apple-sized markets? Not everything must be directed at moving the stock price.chadbag said:In terms of non niche, Apple sized markets, the Vision Pro struggles because no one needs this sort of thing and it doesn’t solve anyone’s day to day problems. And even in 5 years I doubt it will.This is tech for tech sake and the vision of people who don’t live in reality.Car manufacturers are putting physical buttons and stalks back in cars after going all touch screen. Why? Because the touch screen didn’t make driving easier or safer or anything. Vision Pro doesn’t make life easier or safer or anything. And probably won’t.Let Meta burn its cash on such fanciful stuff.Sure do research as these things have great vertical market applicability. But as a general consumer level device at Apple sized markets there isn’t a compelling case and won’t be. At least for a long long time. -
Apple Car is delayed -- again
Exactly. The great thing about Apple is that they don't owe us a car. Here they are launching a telepresence headset that aligns with Apple's mission to reduce our carbon footprint. Maybe that's better for the world than even an ICE-replacing EV.kiltedgreen said:
This!!!larryjw said:Apple never said they were building a car.
It’s a sign of the demented world in which we live that Apple is in effect reprimanded, yet again, for delaying a product whose existence they have never acknowledged and whose release date therefore is non-existent.

'Making Apple Vision Pro' video delves into precise aluminum cutting & assembly
Apple may not build stuff, but Apple knows, designs and advances manufacturing technologies the way only Tesla seemingly gets credit for doing so. This company is a beast.
