  • Under pressure, Apple will restore Epic Games' developer account in the EU

    Apple probably knew all along that they would have to acquiesce and give the dev account back. But at least now the EU is held as responsible as Epic since they publicly came to their rescue/defense. Seems a good strategy in keeping Epic accountable. 
    The contract is written by the gatekeeper. That is not a strong position to hold. If it goes against the DMA then Apple will have to rewrite. The best Apple can do is to keep a low profile before someone decides on a DMA 2.0. If a battle can't be won then don't enter it. There is no way EU politicians will accept Apple doing more of "we're a tiny company with 5 small App Stores", "proprietary connectors are eco-friendly and better for competition", "we have to add 43% on top of all app prices", "we decide what kind of apps are allowed"... in the EU those days are over for Apple.
    To be honest it doesn’t look like those days are over.  Apple can charge what the market will bare, and the App Stire is not even that popular in the EU to begin with.  iMessage didn’t need to integrate with other messaging apps which I think is the real win for Apple.

  • Instagram being blamed for iPhone 15 overheating issues

    Well, apparently it is in part Apple‘s fault (though partly for allowing Instagram to use that much power), and its iOS 17, and nothing to do with the new hardware. 

    This snippet indicates to me that it is related to the new hardware:

    Another issue involves some recent updates to third-party apps that are causing them to overload the system. We’re working with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling out.
    Being able to drain the battery at the rate of 1% a minute should not be possible, and given that this was separate from the iOS bug would indicate hardware.

    So, the same version of the same app isn't a problem on earlier iPhones or iOS versions.

    But it's somehow that app's fault?

    Nope.  This is on Apple.
    You have ZERO basis upon which to make that claim. 

    TL;DR: we don't know whom to blame, at this point. 
    You are incorrect.  This is probably Apple's fault and related to the new hardware.  First, it's the same App. Second, if Instagram did something wrong, it would have likely come up during the beta period.

    Probably?  Try definitely.  I thought the EU was all about fair competition?
    WITHIN the EU, yes.
    Well iPhone is open WITHIN the Apple ecosystem.  Check and mate.
