    How is an always on display desirable?  It’s just a battery waster.  Sorry,  just not getting the intrigue with an always on display.  Actually seems like it could be a distraction.

  • DaVinci Resolve video editor arrives on iPad

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    It's a bit embarrassing Apple is has not been able to do this with FCPX yet. In general Resolve seems to be updated and getting new technology at a much more rapid pace. A shame, considering the fact that FCPX is an amazing editor. The magnetic timeline is really well thought out. It's just getting behind more and more.

  • Apple halts update to HomeKit's new Home architecture

    CheeseFreezeCheeseFreeze
    My upgrade was a total disaster. I sent my complaint to Tim Cook (obviously not expecting an answer) and two days later the executive support team called me to provide support. By then I re-installed ALL computers and mobile devices, reset my HomePod and more. It was so much work, and the error messages were so cryptic that it didn't provide any clues to where to look. But we had to fix it fast because we have over 70 smart devices in our house (sounds like a lot, but with smart lights, cameras, etc this number is met quickly).
    Apple made a mistake providing this update the way they did. The roll-out was messy.

    As long as Apple isn't selling that data to third parties, and uses it to improve my user experience, I don't care.

    What is conveniently ignored is that for many commercial businesses, landlords also stipulate rent is not only a monthly amount, but also a percentage of sales.  Epic has it easy compared to others.  I hope Epic fails hard.
    Yep. Back in the late 70’s I managed a music store in a large mall. Not only did we pay rent based on square footage, we also had to pay a percentage of our gross income just for the privilege of being in that mall. The concept was the same as Apple. The mall developers had built the mall, maintained the mall, marketed the mall. The mall’s existence attracted foot traffic thereby increasing tenant’s access to potential customers. We had to sell a lot of pianos, organs, and guitar picks just to make rent. We could have moved outside the mall to a standalone building but that would have been the kiss of death in terms of sales.

    I see no difference in what Apple does with the App Store and what every other commercial landlord has been doing forever. Epic knows full well that they will make more money within the App Store than having their own store outside it. They want their cake and to eat it too.
    Your analogy fails in the sense that in this case there are only two landlords in the world (set aside China): Landlord Google and Landlord Apple. That is a problem. A big problem.

    Also, no modern real estate landlord (this is not the 1970s!) is demanding a 30% fee of gross income. That entity would quickly be sued out of existence and/or quickly ignored.
