  • 'Strong action' is coming if the EU doesn't like Apple's App Store concessions

    The 15-30% commission is a business expense (cost of doing business). There are a myriad of other business expenses (payroll, state/local/federal taxes, unemployment insurance, computers, rent, labor, auto/travel, etc). Maybe these companies protesting the commission should protest take rates and expect someone else to pay their other business costs.

    Core Technology Charge is the best solution. The 3rd party App Store people were out of their minds if they though they could pay $99 and that be all they paid to Apple. Just like everything else involving the government the side effects are never analyzed. There is no such thing as free in business nor will it be. 1/2 Euro is a pittance for what you can do.

  • Apple Vision Pro is not the iPhone, and faces an incredibly steep uphill climb

    jimh2jimh2
    Do all the naysayers posting comments about how this product is not the iPhone realize that Apple knows that as well. Developers will lead the way coming up with uses that the rest of us have never thought of. Sales will follow as they always do. Innovation does not always equal sales, but portions of innovations make their way into other products.

  • So far, Apple is struggling to market Apple Vision Pro

    Clickbait with nothing to back it up. There have been a few of these fantasy based stores recently and it appears AppleInsider is morphing into the National Enquirer with its recent columns. We don't need made up opinion pieces.

    If any of banks i use decide to pull away from Apple Pay and will try to force me to use their app only for paying, bye bye… i don’t want any extra app for paying. I want all my cards in one wallet, like i have in a physical world, from where i choose which card i use. As i am not carrying three separate wallets for each card…
    And that means you have choice. 

    There is no problem with that but what you want might not be what others want. 

    My wife doesn't want only one option forced on her for contact less phone payments. That is the current situation. 

    She wants choice. Is there any reason she should be denied that by Apple?
    Your wife has a solution to her woes…buy an Android phone. No products will ever be everything to everybody. Manufacturers are the ones who should decide the features their products have.
