The fact that Apple is returning nearly one half of the original fee is more than generous, i say. Again, how can someone complain about this? It's a gift.

Just out of curiosity, are you a small developer who ported his apps to Apple Silicon using the DTK, and is now faced with going without an Apple Silicon machine for a month? I have to PACK UP my DTK, wait for apple to issue a coupon, then order an M1 Mac mini (wait time is 3 weeks now for 16 GB version). It would make a LITTLE more sense if we could replace the mini before sending it back; but going a month without an AS dev/test machine is CRAZY!

Okay, here’s another thing about complainers on this thread: you’re upset because the bullied kid is gender-nonconforming? It’s irrelevant to the story what the thing is they’re being bullied about. Just pretend the kid is brown and being bullied for that if it makes you feel better. Jeesh!

I really enjoyed the movie. In one respect it seemed a bit like a Lifetime or Hallmark movie about someone coming back from another life to their hometown and trying to fit in. But the story took place from the man’s perspective, was way more intriguing, sexy and dramatic with better acting. (I choose not to read long diatribes by folks who like to complain without first watching the movie. There’s no way they are going to like this movie because at its core it’s about kindness.)

This is great for developers running ads who never update their apps. But for developers who update their apps regularly, their apps will appear to App Store customers as more intrusive and dangerous. Apple should add information to older apps too stating that their privacy settings are undetermined due to the age of the app.

Well that’s an interesting assumption. I know well off programmers who have Samsung phones because they don’t like “Apple”

Out of curiosity, what types of apps and what is their target audience? For me, Android app revenue is tanking.
