  • Consumers pile on Apple with App Store monopoly class action suits

    Feels like “consumers” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this article

  • New iPhone comparison page tells you why you need to upgrade

    Strange the upsell from 15 to 15pro isn’t very convincing

  • Apple will crush the DoJ in court if Garland sticks with outdated arguments

    If DOJ is looking for a REAL monopolistic practice involving Apple, look no further than the auto industry. GM has already blocked CarPlay in all its products going forward, and many others have hobbled it—in my new Hyundai I can use it by plugging in my iPhone, but cannot access some other built in features simultaneously. With my old Bolt I can do both, and it’s wireless. Now, they are practicing navigation monopoly. 
    or the Telcos who've held up adopting anything like RCS or iMessage with threats using a bunch of low and fringe utility patents.

  • How to change the volume on a Mac in small increments

    I wonder why Apple couldn’t have made it a single modifier key. 
    because each modifier does its own thing( I've just discovered.)
    Shift makes noise when you change volume which is normally a silent operation, Option opens sound control panel. Also good to know

    As much as the world is a better place for Apple having existing, I feel that Apple has to be taken down a notch - forced obsolescence in operating systems, software, hardware, and online services; morality police in passwords and data; over the top DEI initiatives; endless 'highly exclusive' proprietary wireless, chips, and online services; etc., etc. Apple hasn't done much really, really wrong as they have horribly neglected to do much 'politically' and socially right. This means they should win the suit but lose much money, customer loyalty, and developer/vendor attention/ service. Maybe a 30% drop in stock prices can deride the Arrogance. Hopefully, Apple will be a bit more like Tesla with absurdly open protocols and standardization - benefitting the industry more and the bottom line less.
    Ummm.... care to site some evidence of forced obsolescence?

    I'm not suggesting Apple couldn't do better, but in reality, their hardware is supported for 5-7 years by OS updates and can physically last for 10+ years with care. I have 10+ year-old functional devices in almost every market Apple sells: iPhones, Macbooks, iMacs, Macs, iPads,  and Watch( well almost -series 2), so I'm not far off. This seems pretty good seeing it is still functional as at least the date of purchase.
    Nothing other our teams own demands is forcing a replacement if they do useful things.
