    Being able to buy an app once and have the purchase be valid across platforms does have an appeal.
    I don’t see how developers are going to like that?  You have to pay for both an iOS app and Android app because they both cost money to develop.  
    Developers on Steam and the Epic Game Store seem to cope just fine, and their prices are almost always lower than the single platform Mac App Store.

    I doubt much of a developer's revenue comes from repeat purchases from platform hopping; there aren't that many people flitting between Android and iOS.
    Irrelevant.  Not all steam games are compatible across all platforms, and the ones that are aren't native.

    I was thinking of getting the iPhone 13 has an upgrade from my X but if this new feature is not available in Canada I’ll pass. 
    I don't even think mmWave has been rolled out anywhere in Canada.  It's for use in stadiums and other high density venues.  You don't walk down the street and use mmWave 5G.

    Ashley has had quite a year of having to confront and mount vigorous claims  against not only Apple, but also numerous claims concerning her apartment complex, due to potential toxic chemical exposure. In March, she suffered numerous, undiagnosable health issues and sought relief from her developer, the Irving Company, the City of Santa Clara, Northrupt Grumman and more. I believe she stated she suffers from PTSD as a result. She is also currently a law school student so she’s well equipped to mount vigorous defenses. Too bad her employment relationship has deteriorated. Here’s an article for the SF Bay Vu Ashley wrote in March (which started it all):  (I hope members of Apple Too will do a GoFundMe to benefit her expenses):

    That was all made up.  She is the only one in the apartment complex that has nosebleeds?  She has mental issues.

    Yeah, for how long…
    …Apple cracked the door open, now governments will drive a wedge into the crack.
    I don’t really buy this argument.   If governments had that much power, why not force Apple to make a back door in the first place?
