  • Apple reportedly pushes Foxconn to invest $1B to expand iPhone manufacturing in India

    So happy some of you cleared that misunderstanding of slavery up in here. I’ve been part of both moving tech jobs to and from India. And I can verify that they are extremely appreciated there. We left a big hole in their economy when we had to move out of Chennai a couple of years ago. Both white- and blue collar jobs were lost locally. Interviews with former employees showed some of them even lost part of their work pride. It turned out to be high status working for a western hitech company — and we didn’t even pay Apple’s salary levels.

  • Justice Department lawyers are 'scrutinizing' Apple's App Store payment policies

    Am I the only developer that actually think we get value for the money we invest in App Store?

    I remember what we used to spend on marketing etc before App Store, and that was ridiculously more than 15-30% …and we still didn’t reach a fragment of the customer base we do with Apple’s help today.

    Advocates of this trendy movement simply haven’t thought things through, and probably have no/little experience of life without App Store.

    Just a shame it’s required an investigation to instigate change, rather than Apple doing the Right Thing in the first place. 
    Repeating things many times makes them right.

  • iOS 14 sends a notification when apps read your clipboard

    I always thought that clipboard data is only available to another apps when I paste it, it’s concerning that just by carrying data in the clipboard makes it available to whoever. 

    So there’s no option to deny that app access to my clipboard data? It’d be nice if there was a don’t allow button. 
    Agree — any of those would’ve been much better behavior.

    Haven’t tried any wireless controller yet. Still worried bout lag as compared to wired controllers — esp for really fast action games like Fortnite etc. Anyone here with a real-world experience on this?
    Hmm, I'm not quite sure how to answer this, as I'm not an expert PC gamer (where I often see this kind of concern expressed), but all console gaming now uses wireless controllers, and I don't notice anything. Maybe that's just because I'm not good enough, though.
    Ha ha. Well, I’m not a pro gamer myself either. But I do notice a huge difference on things like display update frequency, esp from 60fps to 90fps, but even when going from 90fps to 120fps. And both of these things are all about the gamer being in good sync with the world in there. Thanks for your reply, cgWerks.
