Plant-based marketing campaign uses Steve Jobs & faces potential conflict with Apple
The problem is you cannot let any of them slide for doing so weakens your position to stop them in the future. Litigating each and everyone if they will not remove the infringement puts other companies on notice to not even think about it.JP234 said:Well, it's a blatant trademark infringement, and an unauthorized reproduction. But it's also a well-intentioned tribute to Jobs and vegetarianism.
If I was making the decision, I'd let this one slide. Unless other companies started doing it too. Then, I'd get the lawyers involved.

Why Android users have been switching to iPhone in greater numbers
Sketchy reasons at best considering phone companies all but give away Samsung smartphones. The Samsung and iPhone cameras both are outstanding so that can’t be it. Battery life is comparable on both platforms so that can’t be it.
The reason people switch to the iPhone is because their friends use iPhones and they don’t want to be the dork on the outside looking in. Any android users should be switching to the iPhone if they are concerned about privacy and security, but I doubt that much of a consideration for hard-core Android users.

CarPlay & Android Auto have a stranglehold on the new car market
Tesla is loaded up with world class software engineers so they can produce products that excel or are good enough. The rest of the car manufacturers need CarPlay or Android Auto because they are not capable of creating or continuously updating their infotainment system. It is obsolete by the time you take delivery.charlesn said:It will be interesting to see if CarPlay and Android Auto continue to dominate. Tesla has shown that you can sell premium cars without supporting either one, but it's still a relatively small player in car sales. The bigger test will be GM and whether its abandonment of both in favor of its own system will hurt sales. Personally, a lack of CarPlay support is a non-starter. I was a loyal Lexus customer for more than a decade, but when it came time for a new car in 2019 and Lexus STILL wasn't supporting CarPlay, I switched to Acura. Of course, now Lexus supports it, but they've lost me as a customer. I absolutely would have shopped GM because of their superior self-driving tech in some models, but now I wouldn't even consider a GM car without CarPlay.
Also the article implies there are cars that only have Android Auto or CarPlay and not both. Are there examples anyone knows of? -
iMessage Contact Key Verification appears in first iOS 16.6 beta
If you are in the category of people needing this then you do care. For the vast majority (99.99999999999999999%)messaging their mindless dribble, shopping list, pickup times, etc this is of no interest.appleinsideruser said:Thanks. So the trade off is that who you’re conversing with, will find out if you add another device to the conversation.But what about if that extra device was already there when the conversation started? I’m curious, where does one draw the line? How do you know (audit) if these other devices are legit or eves-droppers?

Why ISP email services are terrible, and what to use instead
That has nothing to do with Apple.Hedware said:I use iCloud email as it is ISP independent. The downside is that my emails can be treated as spam by some recipients. Apple is unhelpful in remedying this issue.
