Apple brings hearing tests to AirPods Pro 2 in France but holds back key feature
I understand that Apple cannot fully promote this feature as the hearing aid before they are granted the approval. And they for sure want to give it the full ‘medical grade’ vibe. But having it accessible without this and than only say - and now approved it is medical grade - would for sure harm no one and help many… -
EU's latest demand on Apple about geolocking is unforgivably naive
Some things are given how Europe works - movies, music are licensed as per country - various labels, distributors etc… so it depends on the content provider - Apple Music, Netflix - what kind of license they buy.
But for apps, some things can be really stupid. Take Lidl Plus app - you can switch withing the app to various countries they operate, agree with their local conditions and you can use it - Czech republic, Slovakia, Germany, Italy, Spain… So far so good.
But McDonald’s app - when you try to change the country eg from Czech republic to Germany, the app says - you cannot use this app, you need to download McDonald’s Germany app… with a link to the store. But because your Apple Account is CZ, the German store says that you cannot download the German app. And now who’s fault is that? Apple’s, because they allow the regional limitations in the store? Or McDonald’s because they decided to limit their German app just to Germany App Store? I never understood this and find it confusing.
Just curious about other people’s point of view about this… -
