  • Poll: What is your favorite iOS news app?

    Prof_PeabodyProf_Peabody
    Safari.

    I hate all news gathering apps. They're less flexible and open versus the web.
    I agree.  Not having "Safari" as an option is just ridiculous.  Also, most of these news apps are not really workable for non-Americans.

  • Apple pushes iPhone 6s pop-up ads to App Store users on older iPhones, angering users

    Seems like this should have only been targeted at iPhone 5 or older, given that customers can currently purchase the 5s as the entry-level iPhone model.  That's kinda like buying a low-end/entry level model from a car manufacturer, open up the on-screen owner's manual, and it has a pop-up recommending you by the high-end/premium model. lol   Though maybe they are looking up the user's associated device profile and determining the age of the phone and only showing it for phones of a certain age.

    I disagree. A full-screen pop-up advertisement right in the OS, is not welcome at all for anyone ever. Apple has been doing a lot of this sort of thing lately and if we don't complain about it, they will only get worse.

     The new Music app was the first of it. If you have a force-press phone, it contains an advertisement for the Apple Music service that cannot be removed and sits there day after day asking you to join up. Every time you upgrade and re-start music for the first time, it shoots an advert at you on top of the one on the force-press menu.

     Hell since iOS 8, most of the time when you open a store in an Apple OS, even if you are clicking on a link from an upgrade notification, it takes you to the promotional screen first, then you have to purposely switch *back* to the upgrades tab. It's getting a bit ridiculous if you ask me.

     If I wanted advertisements in my OS's, I would go with Google Chrome. If I pay MONEY for something, (a LOT of money in the case of Apple's products) it should be 100% advertisement free.

  • Teardown of Apple's Smart Battery Case exposes 1,877mAh battery, simple design

    Prof_PeabodyProf_Peabody
    I wish iFixit would just go away.  The whole premise of repairability for most of the devices they tear-down is nonsense.  Especially with this power case, which is literally impossible to dissemble without *destroying* it!  

    Here's a hint dumbasses, if you have to do a *destructive* tear-down, then what you are doing cannot by definition have anything to do with "repairability" can it?  That's simple logic.
