  • Consumers pile on Apple with App Store monopoly class action suits

    Not sure why Apple would be seen to benefit from suppressing something that is popular with consumers. You can just as easily make the argument that it would give a competitive advantage to Android. After all, Google's original marketing campaign for Android was entirely centered around all the things that Android allowed and iOS did not. Back in those days, there was a lot of sentiment in the tech sector that Apple's approach would be a competitive disadvantage in the long run. Now it's been turned completely on its head and you've got all these companies claiming that the open system is the one that is a competitive liability. And that is followed by the entirely contradictory idea that forcing iOS to also be open would somehow solve the problem. Which one is it? Open is a liability or a strength? People want to try and say it's both at the same time.

  • Apple sat at a crossroads of indecision that led to Project Titan's slow death

    No way an Apple car is a 🚐 minivan. Ugh 😑

  • Apple IDs may be renamed 'Apple Accounts' by the end of 2024

    I believe these problems people are having eg wanting to merge accounts etc is the later registrations or people who was a switcher. I have my Apple ID since the beginning and I use it for all Apple services like iTunes, @mac email and log-in account etc. I only have one and use one. Why
    all the confusions?

  • Apple Silicon gets massive AI training speed boost with this new project

    blastdoor said:
    Nvidia makes crazy high profit margins on their GPUs. Apple is well positioned with their control of the “full stack” to compete, albeit indirectly, with Nvidia. 

    No, I don’t mean Apple selling GPUs. I mean Apple selling AI computation, from mobile to cloud. I’d love to see racks of M-based systems training models rather than racks of Nvidia systems. 
    More like Apple place these training sessions and computations on each Apple silicon devices out there in the wild. You know, background crunching whilst you’re asleep
