LOL what a joke. Did Spotify just start working on their app last month? Because that's all it should have taken given their efforts so far.

Spotify can suck it after they bought and killed the app that was going to finally bring Spotify to the iwatch.

AppleInsider said:

Next, Apple has included a fix for the charging issue plaguing a very small set of iPhone and iPad owners where the device refused to charge until awakened after the iOS 12 update.

Can someone explain how something like this happens with identical hardware in all devices? How does the software behave differently for a small subset of users?

Interesting article, especially as a former Nexus user for many many years. I switched to the iPhone permanently after the Nexus 5, which still remains one of my favorite phones of all time.

Google's execution over the years has been quite sloppy, especially at the high end. The appeal of the Nexus line was that it offered stock Android showcasing what Google really wanted it to be and the fastest updates possible. Why anyone would buy anything else was beyond me. Samsung was/is really the only other major player, much of that I attribute to their giant marketing budget as well as in-house component manufacturing. Android was built by Google for Google to succeed and the device manufactures were all expendable.

Apple's philosophy of limiting their scope while knocking it out of the park is what got me to convert to the iPhone. Once I got a MBP and saw the level of integration between devices it got me to stay. iMessages was also a leading reason as most of my non-tech friends/family had iPhones and had no desire to stray from what worked for their needs.
