    This 30% Apple Tax on stuff not related to the AppleStore or Apple Servers is going to come back and bite Apple in the a**. 
    Agreed!

    I'm trying to imagine what the advantage is. I get that solid sate buttons would represent fewer mechanical parts to break down, but then the suggested addition of multiple taptic engines sort of negates that, doesn't it? Plus, those things would use up more of the very limited real estate inside the box. So while I can believe the solid state button part, I think the extra taptic engines part is probably not true.

    Perhaps none of it is true, and there is a new device in the pipeline generating orders for very small taptic engines and Apple leaked this fairly silly nugget to throw the "analysts" off the trail.
    I feel like the biggest advantage here is increased water- and dust-proofing.

    What the heck?!?! 

    The guy is mad at a couple people who happen to be Jewish over a deal he feels he was screwed on and says an irresponsible thing.  And his business gets freaking canceled? Because he SAID something? 

    What is happening to the world
    It is called being held responsible for your actions. LeVarr Burton called it a Culture of Accountability. And no it wasn’t JUST the comments. It was a decade of racist and sexist and homophobic comments and actions, It was the viciously racist White Lives Matter t-shirts. It was a history of things. The latest might have been the trigger, but he is finally out of second, third, fourth… chances. 

    What really p****s me off is that his apologists keep trying to blame his supposed bipolar condition. They can just F right off, I KNOW neurodivergent people including BP ones. That isn’t the cause. They are just trying to make excuses for West being an AH, and in doing so make life harder for all of us who are truly ND.
    Thank you! Agree 100%!

    Fellow ND here and yeah, that’s a poor excuse for shitty, bigoted behaviour

  • Apple's lack of care with gambling app ads is a symptom of a bigger problem

    At the end of the day, we live in a capitalist society where the sole aim of business endeavors is to make money, no matter the expense to our lives, the environment, etc. Relying on corporate ethics within such an environment to do the right thing for social good is delusional. Yes, Apple is better than a lot of other corporations in some things. But let’s not forget that their primary goal is to gain capital. Everything else is secondary to that.

  • Apple chose a bad year to launch expensive iPads that aren't compelling

    OferOfer
    Yeah, agreed 100%! The iPad and appletv upgrades are all pretty underwhelming and the need to use a dongle for the 1st gen Apple Pencil on the new baseline iPad is RIDICULOUS!
