    When exactly?
    Apple held a grudge against Intel when they said no.....

    Apple has a long memory and a tendency to hold grudges. 
    Which is a disservice to its own customer base.

  • Epic's Tim Sweeney is mad about Apple's EU App Store concessions

    It’s not Burger King, sweener. 

    You can’t have it your way. 

    The disengenuous argument the steam is at #7 in app stores because their store isn’t on iOS, etc. is anticompetitive in and of itself. 

    Steam, Nintendo, Sony, Xbox, etc. aren’t on iOS and yet they’re better - while in the same boat as epic. So they want governments to give them a leg up by forcing other stores to let them set up shop inside those stores. What the heck is this guy smoking? 

    The only way you get that kind of audacity is to be a psychopath, mentally incompetent, or have “friends” in high places. Betting it’s the latter with the TenCent ownership stake. 

    Hey Tim, how about you build a platform, whether your own phone, console, etc. and if you can by some miracle succeed, open your platform to steam, etc. and lead by example. Until then, shut the heck up. We, the people, don’t want you messing with our stuff. 

    A better example would be Spotify the EU acted on their complains along with the Opera browser crew about Apple along with a little dash of Firefox.

  • Apple sells up to 180,000 Apple Vision Pro, says Kuo

    One day he says that his estimate is 60K-80K units. Then he reads his tea leaves and comes up with 180K sold. But, and this is where he is covering where the sun don't shine, orders are tapering off. And oh, yes, it is a niche 
    He said they would have 80k to ship initially and now he is saying they took orders up to 180k. Those statements are in no way incompatible or contradictory.  He is also correct that it tapered off, that isn’t a bad thing. It’s a statement of fact. It’s also a niche product. Will it alway be one? Who knows. But currently it very much is. 
    He and you be eating Crow for the rest of the year.....enjoy.
