  • iPhone 14 users will get another year of Emergency SOS via Satellite for free

    I could absolutely see Apple going one of two ways with this:

    1. Apple bakes it into an existing service
    or
    2. Bake it into your existing phone plan and be charged on a case by case basis on your existing monthly statement

    Charging a monthly service for a “just-in-case” or “emergency” service would result in a very low subscription rate and it would be a flop for Apple.

    While extremely expensive to set up, I think a service like this should always be free to access. Maybe the governments should be funding it along with 9-1-1 and the like.
    Here’s what’s wrong with people’s thought process on services. 

    While yes, I agree with you in that it should be government funded, and that it was externally expensive to set up but it is also very expensive to maintain. 

    Services take infrastructure, systems, and teams of people. These things cost Apple millions of dollars a year to operate. 

    The buck doesn’t stop when Apple releases said services.

  • Apple could be out $20 billion a year if Google loses DOJ antitrust case

    The immediate effect might be the loss of $20 billion in payments to Apple, but Apple would clearly then institute its own search engine, which would generate billions in revenue, much like Google, so the overall impact would be much smaller financially and also put Apple in charge of its own search revenues. The question then would be whether that in itself would raise regulatory scrutiny.   
    And then Apple would be accused of being a monopoly. The irony here.

  • Genshin Impact maker tried to dodge App Store fees -- twice

    Here. We. Go. Again  :s

    So, one thing I find funny is even Android app stores are not treated equally.

    At work, I am looking for a specific app to use on our Android-based smart TV but the app I am looking for is not available on the app store that this TV manufacturer bundles with their TV...but on another Android-based smart TV from a different manufacturer, it is available on their app store. I cannot download their app store on our TV without jumping through hoops and management will not allow it.

    Yet Apple has its own app store and people cry to bloody hell and back that it's not fair that the Apple platform does not allow for multiple app stores. What is wrong with this picture?
