  • Apple Intelligence & iPhone mirroring aren't coming to EU because of the DMA

    This is just Apple being spiteful.  A temper tantrum, and an attempt to stop DMA-like policies from spreading to other countries’ markets, which there are already signs of it happening.  I support the EU mostly.  We’d still have Lightning if it wasn’t for them.

    And Phil, I’m happy to make the judgement call on what I deem safe to install on my devices, thank you.  And I accept the consequences.  It’s not like the App Store hasn’t had its share of security threats and dodgy apps.
    Fine buy an Android. I’m a EU citizen while simple laws I applaud USBC is one of them (PS Apple was long before moving to USBC, the fact the iPhone took longer is accessories, just went to dump a box full of them at the recycle park, perfectly good, useless now), the DMA is a hot mess, creating uncertainty all over the place. The EU should have taken another approach, informing people, I would have preferred that they just marked products, Apple = Gatekeeper, Samsung = open etc … so that people can make an informed decision. You read in the comments that lots of “Apple” people prefer a closed system as do others prefer an “open” system, let them we don’t need babysitting by politicians that do not understand tech. The only reason we have a DMA act is that some frustrated EU CEO’s lobbied very well and have wapenized it through legislation instead of innovation.

    It’s bluff on Apple’s part. Apple Intelligence wasn’t going to be available anyway because it only works in English for now.

    its also bluff because Microsoft’s solution is available and working in multiple languages and countries, and so is Google’s (and ChatGPT, as well as others).

    So Apple is agitating the American flag to hide the limitations of their current AI implementation. 
    It’s not a bluf, ChatGPT is a website and Microsoft Recall was so open that all your private data can be leaked everywhere, there was such a big backlash Windows Recall is not launched due to this.

    The DMA would force Apple to offer access to the most Private part,  aka Apple Intelligence framework and semantic database, to third party stores apps that can feast on your data like there is no tomorrow, if you do call this bluff fine, I call it overreaching of bureaucrats that dit not realized that complex laws will impact innovation, just because they could not look into the future.

    This seems like a whole load of posturing and blackmail to me. Basically they are saying "we can't enable screen sharing to apps that Apple hasn't authorised because they might allow data to go somewhere that violates the users' privacy". Well, you know, you could always ask the user, couldn't you? Maybe a dialogue box the first time you connect to an app that's not signed by Apple isn't the absolutely perfect user experience, but it's an awful lot better than killing the feature all together. Given that Apple's own app store doesn't have a perfect record on vetting applications, that same pop-up-on-first-connect would probably be useful for Apple App Store apps too.

    So no, this isn't EU regulation causing problems. This is Apple causing problems and attempting to blame the EU, because it doesn't want to loose its insanely lucrative monopoly by which is takes 30% of the entire value of the App Store for its own profit.

    Well under the DMA they should allow apps to have the same access to Apple Intelligent frameworks in third party app stores, also giving those apps unfettered access to the semantic debase that holds a lot of valuable personal and crucial data. As Apple values privacy it would render the platform vulnerable on a scale not seen before … 
    So the EU reaps what it has sown 🤷‍♂️

  • OLED iPad Pro owners discover grainy display problem

    temperortemperor
    On a 13 inch model here, better display than my 12.9 M2 ... it could be a manufacturing defect and you can get a replacement for sure or, more likely a software glitch that is fixable by an update. So I do not see the issue, just to be clear.

  • How to use iPad as a Mac replacement and why you'd want to

    temperortemperor
    Funny to read all the comments of users that sum up facts why the iPad cannot work for them, just a proof of the statement made 🤷‍♂️
    I do everything on my iPad Pro, now the M4 one. Mail/Calendar/Keynotes (also making them)/Notes/Webex/Teams/Excel/Expense App/Slack/ slew of internal web based Apps … + a slew of other apps for media consumption, my car app … So easy, every time I use a mac it feels cluttered / limited … I use my iPad with Magic Pro keyboard and external screen when at the office or at home (for work)
