Don’t be evil, Apple.

As for us users, take the effort to buy your subscriptions outside the app where possible and you’ll likely pay less.  A small bit of effort but it goes a long way when you add up the savings over time.

Fantastic idea… and then you can use all that money saved to continue paying for the subscription after the point you want to cancel it as there is no easy way to unsubscribe. Or their weak card processing system gets hacked and you lose all your financial details. 

You and I agree, but many people (e.g., "s.metcalf") want to force business models on us that we don't want to deal with. If I wanted to deal with Google's model, I would buy phones that run Google software. I want the freedom to be able to choose Apple's model. If Apple is forced to follow Google's horrible model, there would be little reason for me to buy from Apple.

I'm increasingly using ChatGPT instead of google for search. 

Sure, but perhaps you don't know which search engines ChatGPT is using when it needs to do a search.

The headline should be amended to say "Refurbished Mac Minis plunge as low as $360." Or at least the opening paragraph.

Watching Greyhound was like watching a documentary, not a movie. Which isn't a bad thing in itself.

"The firmware ain't done until Linux won't run."
