Apple admits third-party App Stores in Europe are inevitable
kkqd1337 said:Yeassss juicy!!
Can’t wait!
Malware etc not a worry for me
i only ever use mainstream apps - Netflix , Spotify, YouTube and the like
it will be an absolute pleasure to pay outside the AppStore!
whohooooo f u Apple 🍏You can pay for all of those services outside of Apple now? Not sure why you are taking such pleasure in saying fu to Apple, but to each his own.I've been paying for Youtube red and now premium for years directly to youtube/google with paypal. Same with Netflix and other streaming apps. Once I realized google was passing the 30% apple tax for paying via subscription with Apple ( 9.99 vs 12.99 ) I went and set up my payments through Youtube and never looked back.

iPhone 15 Pro Max production hindered by tetraprism camera lens

Ming-Chi Kuo is the most respected financial analyst covering Apple. He devotes his work life to deciphering, via contacts he has built up over many years. what is going on the world of Apple for the benefit of current or potential investors. Is he right 100% of the time? Of course not. Apple is a hugely secretive company and Tim Cook isn't calling him to report on the latest. Kuo is using the best information he can gather from the sources he has developed--sometimes the conclusion of that info is very straight forward and sometimes Kuo interprets what it could mean. His percentage of hits vs misses are higher than any other analyst covering Apple.Skeptical said:Weather conditions, war, a strike. Anything can affect anything. Who are these so called analysts. Is guessing all it takes to get noticed. Another non-story.According to Apple Track his accuracy is 72% which makes him the 8th most accurate leaker or "source" of apple news.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs Apple Watch Ultra - Specs, price, and features, compared
applebynature said:
What are you talking about? You can EASILY resell the first gen Ultra for 57% of original value. Unless that was a typo and you meant 75%. In that case, you could still possibly get that for it. I see people selling theirs for $600 all over the place right now. The ultra is almost in line with the iPhone Pro on resell value.slow n easy said:Another good point is that the Watch has a significantly lower resale value compared to the iPhone. If I could get a 57% trade-in value for the Watch, I would probably do it.
And I'm not talking TRADE IN value. If you're trading in your Apple gear to APPLE, you either don't really care how much you get for it or you aren't very bright. Trading in your iPhone to your carrier could be a good deal with their inflated trade in values, but then you're locked into 3 years with that carrier and no real upgrade potential for those three years.Apple is offering $580.00 trade in for 13 Pro max and 380.00 for the first gen Apple watch Ultra. I upgrade my phone every year and give her my previous so that is why I looked up trade in for the 13 pro max. I am not sure how trading in for this prices wouldn't be very bright? Also just because you see people selling AW Ultra for $600.00 does not mean they will get that much in the end with a private sale. I sold phones privately to upgrade for years prior to Apple offering trade ins. People are low balling assholes when it comes time to pay for something they agreed too. I think Apple's Ultra trade in could be a little higher but nearly 50% is not bad at all in my opinion.I like doing things through Apple as I can pay the remaining balance off quickly.. with the carriers there is no pay off early option, you are stuck for 3 years making payments. Then have to go back to them and jump through hoops to get the device unlocked once it's paid in full. Which is complete nonsense in my opinion.

This may be the best look yet at the iPhone 15 color assortment
Some of us use clear cases..ravnorodom said:
Totally agree. I don't even remember what my iPhone color is. Apple should just make them all bare bone black color and be done with it.hexclock said:Personal color preferences aside,
most people I know with iPhones put them in cases anyway, so the color is practically irrelevant.
I like to be able to see my deep purple pro max.

A17 specifications leaked ahead of iPhone 15 Pro release
You mean a 5000 mAh battery ( S23 Ultra ) keeps up with a 4323 mAh battery ( Iphone 14 Pro Max ) and Apple isn't providing significantly better battery life?charlesn said:
But to what end from the consumer's perspective? I'm too invested in Apple's ecosystem to ever leave it, but I still look at competing phones and -- in terms of hardware -- the best from Samsung and Huawei are at least as compelling, and in some ways more so, than Apple's Pro models. You would think, at the very least, that Apple's "do more with less" would translate into significantly better battery life for consumers, but no. Battery life for Samsung's 23 Ultra is essentially even with the 14 Pro Max. And while the design for Huawei's P60 Pro is stunningly modern and beautiful, especially the way the camera module (with an f1.4 main lens!) is implemented. Meanwhile, Apple is still coasting on a 13-year-old design it introduced in 2010 with the iPhone 4.danox said:soundsinmotion said:Apple stopped innovating a while back, now they just slightly improve the phone with specs but no breakthrough technologies anymore
Apples, latest iPhone chip will simply stomp all over the competition, in every way, hardware industrial design and SOC chip/OS software under one roof, is where the innovation/disruption to the competition comes in. (This allows Apple to do more with less, less power wattage, less megahertz, less memory), and that’s what being a vertical computer company means.
