  • Phil Schiller testifies about Apple data collection, App Store favoritism

    MauiMac5341MauiMac5341
    The favoritism argument is old and cold and a complete red herring.  It has been disproven many times, just type in the following queries 1) Excel, 2) Spotify, 3) word, 4( Powerpoint........See no Apple apps come first, but even if they did, to the extent the Apple apps are feee, who cares.  Now type in 1) Numbers, 3) Music, 3) Pages, 4) Keynote.   Oh no, apple comes highly ranked.  do you think it has anything to do with the choice of query terms, that being the name of the primary application?  So is someone's complaint that Music is a more descriptive word than Spotify? 

    I haven't seen a thing in this trial yet that is monopolistic behavior.  Matter of fact, substitute the world Apple for amazon or bet buy, hmmmm.  the amazon shopping experience is almost identical to the App Store, same with Best Buy with the exception that you can actually download apps from Apple and pay for them completely outside the App Store and not pay Apple anything.  Not so with Amazon or Best Buy, and they won't even deliver your purchases that you bought from another source - horrid!

  • Zoom seemingly granted access to private iPad camera API

    That sounds a bit misleading.  The feature sounds more like a beta of a new feature being tested by some developers with the chops to professionally work with Apple on it than it does a Microsoft style competitive secret feature set

    I can’t wait to run fortnight on the new epicPhone, but I do want to pay using Apple’s payment system. What a great idea then epic could set whatever rules it wants

  • Compared: 2018 MacBook Air versus 13-inch MacBook Pro and 2017 MacBook Air

    from henrybay:

    "The only reason Apple persists with this ridiculously shallow butterfly keyboard is because they have invested so much money into the project and are too proud to admit they made a mistake"

    Sorry, that doesn't even sound plausible.  While there are those, like you, who take a hard line position on this, you don't for a fraction of a second think Apple tests this with customer groups?  There must be many who think they work just fine, or Apple would not continue to make computers they couldn't sell.

    I have tested the keyboards (but don't own one yet - still happy with my 4 yo MBP), and they seem fine, any new keyboard takes a bit to get used to, but that takes a few days, then you are over it.  and your wrong - the best keyboard is the apple magic keyboard!
