  • iPhone SE 4 allegedly canceled, perhaps over Apple's 5G modem failures

    I think the current Home Button design should remain as SE model. Older smaller iPhones should remain in the $450-600 range. The current design should be in the $350-450 range like before

    The EU is out of its mind! They are trying to regulate American innovation with their policies 
    Oh look, a Zuckerfuck shill spotted…
    I don’t like Facebook and it’s products.Just look at their tracking inside the app using App Privacy Report. But people should stop using the platform if they value their privacy.This is similar to Epic not wanting to pay Apple Platform fees for using their APIs ,OS and distribution methods

    It’s happening. OLED is getting cheaper across many industries, if Samsung monopoly is being removed

  • Apple will hike nearly every battery replacement cost in March

    I can't remember what the invoice said the last time I had an iPhone battery changed by Apple but they should break down the cost of the battery and the cost of replacement.

    It's difficult to evaluate this price hike if they haven't revealed the price of the battery itself. 

    Either way, the EU agreed on a provisional text last month for the updated Battery Directive.

    It will be interesting to see if the confusion surrounding 'removable' and 'replaceable' has been cleared up with regards to the the device containing a portable battery and the device's lifespan. 

    Some early interpretations on previous drafts had assumed that if the battery was designed to last the entire lifespan of the product it would only need to be safely removeable. If the battery wasn't designed to cover the entire lifespan of the product, it would have to be both easily removeable and replaceable. That would mean absence of thermal energy, special screws etc to get to the battery. 

    The Battery Directive is closely tied to the right to repair legislation that is also coming down the pipe which aim to set minimum requirements at the design stage of products to make sure they are designed to last and that consumers are provided with far more information than they currently have access to. 

    In the case of batteries, they will contain a QR code to identify chemical composition, charge capacity etc. 

    Maybe by 2025/26 if everything gets approved. 



    Disgusting that the EU wants to curb innovation and dictate device design. They will get different designs of products compared to rest of globe

  • Apple has its own social networking services, but won't call them that

    racerhomie3racerhomie3
    Yes, this has worked really well. Even as a family in South East Asia our entire family use FaceTime to stay connected across continents and I use iMessage to stay connected to my mom. Really personal and AirDrop is so nice to use across all 3 of my Apple devices
