EU to propose common charger for all smartphones, ignores Apple's protest
It switched to USB-C for laptops because now if the cord is damaged you don’t have to replace the entire charger. Try putting a little more thought into your arguments.80s_Apple_Guy said:Apple with it’s using USB-C for iPads but Lightning for others has no leg to stand on with this argument. It switched its laptops to USB-C creating huge ewaste. Apple likes to argue both sides of the coin when it comes to its costs. Very disingenuous.Smartphones have already saved the world massive amounts of waste. A manuals that took up binders now fit in an iPad, people no longer by cd’s or cassettes, barcode scanners, DSLRs, video cameras, safety equipment, diagnosis equipment, the list goes on and on for how much smartphones divert waste from the landfill (not just e-waste)

Lobbying group backed by Apple and Google rails against Open App Markets Act
I’m a pretty big Apple fan, but when someone pays $1000 + for a phone, they deserve the right to do what they want with it. I will still use the App Store, and I’m sure lots still will. But if someone wants to side load god knows what and is fine with the risk then go right ahead.

Apple to remove popular DOS emulator for iOS from App Store
I’m a pretty big Apple fan but whoever is in charge of the App Store is a straight up idiot. Stupid stuff like this is only contributing to the scrutiny of the App Store and literally bringing its future into question.

Apple employees pen second letter asking for work-from-home options
You (and most of the people posting) are obviously not software developers. 95% of the jobs offered now are remote. I've only had one company say to me I had to be in the office, and so I declined the interview. If you're in Hardware or Marketing you're pretty much screwed but for Software Development you can pretty much pick your job these days. Not only can I make more money than working at Apple, but I don't have to pay the insane price of real-estate in Cupertino. Apple is not going to win this, and they better figure out something fast. I've already said this, but Apple Park was a huge mistake and a vanity project, the future for software development is remote, and Apple can get on that train or be left in the dust.applguy said:
Can you imaging their future interviews… Why did you leave Apple? They wanted me to work in the office.delslow said:Those jobs they are threatening to quit? There is a line of hungry kids ready to take those positions from you. I’m not sure if they think they have some sort of leverage other than “we’lol whine to VoX and give you bad publicity.” Fuck em.

Apple attorneys threaten UK market exit if court orders 'unacceptable' patent fees
I don’t think everyone here understands the ruling. The UK is setting the patent fees for GLOBAL usage. That’s nuts.radarthekat said:Consumers will pay the toll in raised prices. Let the UK shoot themselves in the foot.
