  • 'Fortnite' CEO thought he'd beat Apple in weeks, not years

    I'll say it again, Steam, SteamOS, and SteamBoxes...  Steam SEEMS to have no problem building their own to compete with Apple, an online STORE EVEN!  But yet Apple makes it "impossible compete..."

    HORSE $#!+

    Steam is a different company from EPIC? Also I don't think Steam has any problems with 3rd party app stores on Steam Deck or Steam Box.

  • Epic vs. Apple: What Apple is being forced to do to the App Store

    bala1234bala1234
    Funny things which don't seem to be emphasized enough here either in the article or the comments. In the original ruling Apple was 
    1. Allowed to charge a 'reasonable' fee (based on any math of Apple's choosing) for developers using external payment systems.
    2. Was allowed to have 'reasonable' restrictions on how developers advertised third party payment systems.
    3. Was allowed to warn users that they were leaving the apple payments ecosystems (they still are).
    The operative word being 'reasonable'. Apple brought current ruling on itself by 'unreasonable' behavior if we are being generous and deliberate lying and misleading as per the Judge's interpretation!

  • iPhone 16e review: All the bells, none of the whistles on this battery-heavy device

    I heard in some podcast the 16e is a play for budget conscious markets (like India where people don't buy phones from the cariers) while still being a premium offering. Not sure about that but if so, some of the choices made does makes sense.

  • Everyone is a loser in the Apple Intelligence race

    bala1234bala1234
    I wish Apple (& Google too) stuck to its own evolutionary approach AI & ML. Instead it had to succumb to the market forces and introduce Apple Intelligence as a thing. I have to say I am disappointed as Apple is one company which can withstand pressures like this.
