  • Now the US government is demanding users not wear Apple Vision Pro while driving

    Honestly, I call bullshit on the video. His hand is on the wheel until the exact moment the camera pulls up to him and the rapid 2-handed gestures he’s making looks fake. In all the video I’ve seen of people using it, nobody’s been doing it that quickly. 

    You want this to be fake, but it's not. Your assessment is false. His hands were not on the wheel at all, and he had no idea that he was being recorded. That's obvious to anyone.
    My "assessment" was an opinion. Your statement of a "fact" is actually also just an opinion. Show me the proof that this is not fake....I'll wait.

  • Please don't use the Apple Vision Pro while driving [u]

    The creator of this video has made a statement that it was a staged skit, he was not arrested and only spent about 30 seconds of driving with the headset on. Please update the article to reflect the creators statement.

  • Apple insists to EU antitrust regulators that it runs five App Stores, not one

    rob53 said:
    Apple is correct in stating there are five stores because the software available in each store only works on a specific platform. This is like saying a company that owns a pharmacy, sporting goods store, hardware store, grocery store and electronics store is required to call all of them one store, maybe called PSHGE, instead of five different stores carrying different products. There are many companies that have multiple store fronts with different names that keep their stores separate. (don't ask me specifics, because I don't care to research this but take a company like Whirlpool, who makes all kinds of brands of household products, each having a store under the brand's name) 

    As for anything the EU does, it's time they quit trying to run another country's product line. I'm sorry but anything related to current computers and operating systems rarely is created in EU countries anymore. Sure, you can find a few high tech companies in the EU but not as many as before and nowhere near as many as in the USA.
    While I actually side with Apple on most of the claims of anticompetitive behavior, your analogy is wrong. It’s pretty much BS to say they are different stores. The more correct analogy would be to say they were like a GameStop. They sell games for X Box PlayStation and Nintendo…different platforms, but it’s still one marketplace. I think it also undermines their argument because many apps are universal. I can buy an app for my iPhone and it will magically appear on my iPad or Apple TV. They even advertise this on the app listings, saying what other devices they will work on. It’s all one big marketplace.

  • American Express doesn't seem that interested in an Apple Card partnership

    We're not interested in an Amex partnership either lol. Mastercard all the way.
    You understand that Mastercard isn't an issuing bank, right? It's a payment network. The Apple Card its a Mastercard currently. AMEX is both a network and an issuing bank. Even if the card continues to be a Mastercard, it will still need a bank like Chase or Wells Fargo to actually issue the card and service the accounts.
