  • Spotify, others complain to EU about Apple's 'unfair' App Store practices

    Why should Apple get a recurring cut of subscriptions? Apple isn’t hosting the content. If I buy a subscription to a magazine I bought at Walmart should they get a cut of that subscription?

  • Apple's $4,999 all-in-one iMac Pro launches Thursday, Dec. 14

    Still blows my mind that this is a pro machine but you can’t get inside of it. I can understand most of Apple’s portable products being sealed but professional workstations? Why? Even the 27” iMac allows upgrades to the RAM. 
    Since it's probably expensive ECC ram, some users would try to throw in some cheap ram and complain to Apple when it has issues or doesn't work. Then they'll try to get a new iMac Pro with their warranty. 
    Doubtful as I suspect anyone buying this machine knows a thing or two about computers.

  • Apple Pay Cash money transfers launch in US on iPhones, iPads running iOS 11.2

    Doubt I’d ever use this. My bank app allows me to transfer money to anyone’s bank account. Been using it for a couple years now.

    I was laughed at a few months ago here because I said Tim cool is a poor leader. 
    Never mind the endless amount of things delayed under Steve. I guess he was a poor leader too.

    Apple's problem is software.  It is ridiculous hundreds of millions of iPhone users have to install and updates new iOS weekly.  Monthly may be a more reasonable period. I refuse to install iOS 11 because I hate the constant reminder from Apple to install new OSs which are mainly to fix bugs and some are not ever related to my phone. 
    yes, its absolutely ridiculous that Apple fixes their OS. Maybe they should be like Android and just drop support 2 months after the phone comes out. 
    Or how about not have so many issues in the first place so you don’t have to constantly send OS updates?

  • iPhone X review: Apple's Face ID vision for the future of iOS

    I love my new phone but man Apple needs to do a better job of ensuring Apple Watch is properly unpaired from existing phone and repaired to new phone. I never thought about it and the Apple store employee never mentioned it so my new phone was set up and my old phone wiped without my Apple Watch having been unpaired from it. When I paired it to my new phone and restored from backup all the activity history was missing. I have sleep tracking apps that use the watch and all my history is there but for workout data it’s as if I’ve never owned an Apple Watch before. And there is no way to get this data back. Once the old phone the watch was paired to is wiped the data is gone forever. Seriously Apple? There has to be a better way. I guarantee you non techie folks who own an Watch aren’t going to know about the proper unpairing steps so you don’t lose data. What a joke.

    edit: so apparently in iOS 11 health data can be backed up to iCloud by it is set to off by default. How many people even know that’s an option? I don’t remember when upgrading being asked if I wanted to back my health data up to the cloud. Seriously it should not be this easy to lose 2 years worth of Apple Watch data. WTF Apple.
