    The FTC and DOJ need to open their eyes and understand that Beeper is trying to hack Apple software. This has nothing to do with competition and anyone at the DOJ or FTC with any brain should see it for what it is and understand what it isn't. Messages is Apple's product and just like Microsoft and Google software, along with the million other apps, there's no justifiable requirement that they have to work with each other. 
    However, I definitely think industry should work towards interoperability which has been a decades old problem and source of problems. 
    Well then there’s a lot of work ahead because literally no messenger in existence is interoperable with other messengers. In fact I’d say iMessage is more interoperable than most due it it’s fall back to SMS, which is truly a universal format.

    I have an iPhone. How does that help me if the people I want to communicate with don’t?
    Luckily you now have access to an App Store that has countless messenger apps that you can use to communicate with those people.

    I don’t understand how lack of Matter support is a negative for a HomeKit user. The only reason you’d need Matter support is if a product doesn’t support HomeKit.

    Unfortunately, you can't toggle this on or off, but have to go to Settings > Camera > Formats  and enable Spatial Video.

    Getting a little tired of how Apple provides no direct way to change camera settings from within the camera app.
    Once you turn it on in settings you then get the toggle in the camera app.

  • EU set to slam Apple with antitrust order over App Store practices and Spotify battle

    Why only music streaming? Does it have something to do with Spotify being an European company ߧবt;/div>
    No. It has to do with Spotify being the actual company that filed the complaint being investigated here. 

    I'm sure they could have filed a complaint about automotive parts distribution disadvantaging third-party mechanics — but they happen to be a music streaming company, so that's what they filed a complaint about. 
    Spotify's complaint to the EU had no relevance to their own business. Less than 1% of their iOS subscribers were paying through the App Store. Which means that iPhone users somehow knew that their smartphone could access more than just the App Store. There were things called "the internet" and "social media" that also contained information about apps and pricing. 
    That’s what happens when you put a bunch of geezers in charge of a tech regulatory body (US has the same problem).
