How Apple's iPhone 14 emergency satellite service works for users
This is a feature that other handset manufacturers and Google won't easily be able to copy. Who else would set up all the infrastructure required? Carrier Tmobile might get there, but I imagine their satellite plans will work best with iPhones that have satellite chips already.

Apple pulled a record 439K apps in Q2, including abandonware
I don’t mind Apple removing old apps from the store. But as a developer, I really wish they would fix a related bug. Apps that have been pulled from the store don’t work with TestFlight. TestFlight has become an essential tool for developers, and blocking access to it for apps we are trying to update is annoying.

I do. I'm an app developer, and the iAd banner ads generated more money for my apps than AdMob does with combined banners and interstitials. iAd was wonderful for developers.robin huber said:Uh, remember iAd?

Tesla, BMW don't appear to be gearing up to join Apple's new CarPlay vision
Something BMW needs to add first is turn indicators to indicate lane changes and turns. AFAIK, every other car manufacturer has blinkers, but apparently BMWs do not.

Apple fails bid to get 'Think Different' trademark restored in EU
Swatch's appropriation of Apple trademarks cheapens its brand. Similar to Xiaomi dressing the CEO like Steve Jobs and recreating Apple keynotes in 2013, or Samsung copying the iPhone UX in 2010. OTOH, both Xiaomi and Samsung sell a lot of phones, so maybe it worked.
