What the PowerPC to Intel transition tells us about Apple Silicon release dates
AppleInsider said:It could well be that things just went far better and easier and smoother than Apple had expected. It's more likely that Apple was easing the transition by managing expectations and giving itself room for unforeseen issues.Man I wish the company I worked for would operate this way. Rather than trying to half-ass twice the number of things we should in 1/4 of the time it should take which winds up making things take four times as long as they should. -
Apple applauds court for denying Epic Games' request to restore 'Fortnite'
I realize this is going to be a dumb question, but I don’t exactly understand how the Unreal Engine thing is working on a technical level.I get that Epic owns/maintains “Unreal”, but how was Apple able to restrict access to it for other developers? But then turn it back on? Without turning back on Fortnite? And is Unreal available to Android devs too? Did the restriction also affect them?Very in the dark on this one... -

Epic Games wanted a special deal for 'Fortnite' on the App Store
I’m a little baffled by this whole turn of events..
If they made their game subscription based, wouldn’t that effectively double their revenue after a year?
and if they already had a payment backend set up, they could have just gone whole hog, made it an online game & be done with it and not have to put up with any of Apple’s or Googles rules.. right?Am I missing something? Is it even possible to make a game like fortnite for browser? -
Apple to offset costly 5G iPhone components with cheaper battery tech
GeorgeBMac said:-- That battery life is one of the most critical features of a phone to their customers. (Witness "Battery-Gate"!)Right?! Yeah... I don’t see them walking in to that one again if they can help it.Edit: tbf, I wish they’d just wait on 5G till it’s something that actually matters, but I realize they basically had to or they’d get shredded to bits by the press.
