Alexander Skarsgård, not Skarsgard. And “å” is pronounced “o” like in “hole”.
Tack så mycket!

Would be great to know why. Personally I’m. it going to switch to a PC just to play games or use LabView. Their loss is great for a future company that will do the opposite: exclusive development on macOS. Looking forward to that 😃

I’m an iOS developer working for the government in the EU. Because of my job I often meet Apple that asks us about possible way to improve our use of iPhones. Last meeting I had with a woman that came especially from Apple London, the question of NFC came up. For us obviously we are not interested in using NFC for a payment solution but for writing NFC Desfire cards to replace keycards. That person told me it was not possible as it’s interfering with Apple Pay… and now they say they do not?
And please, keep away your comments “we hate Americans” because it is not true. I do not want to use Android phones but because of the way Apple has closed NFC we still have to use droid phones as well for some use cases (which sucks).
The solution is actually really easy as I mentioned to her: create a programme where companies get granted a special entitlement (like critical notifications) that can easily be revoked if a company is not following Apple’s guidelines. I’m still waiting for the response from Apple on this one. In the meantime I didn’t know they were going to trial because of that. I would say it’s a pity, Apple should listen more to its premium users and government agencies requests (as long as it’s reasonable like in my case, I’m not asking for backdoors in their iPhones 😉)

Please AppleInsider, do not fall into the trap of replying to this troll. It is obviously someone that has a grudge against Apple. Whatever you say he will never admit you’re true.
We, the rationals, do know that there is no such thing as “planned obsolescence”. Even the “battery gate” where Apple turned down the performances of a phone had actually a good intention: protecting the battery from overheating because of ageing.
I would actually recommend you (AppleInsider) to have another article about how to improve dramatically the battery life of an iPhone by stoping swiping away apps to kill them. This causes tremendous strain of the battery + watching video feeds or picture feeds like Reddit, TikTok, Instagram…
I wish more developers would do like I do where I work: I monitor if a user has been swiping away one of the apps we deploy to our users and if I repeatedly see the user doing it I present a splash screen that is dismisable only after 10sec where I explain to them not to swipe away apps to preserve battery. A lot of users do that because they don’t understand how multitasking works on an iPhone or they were Android users previously. I wish Apple reintroduced the feature they tested a couple of years ago in a beta version of iOS: after swiping up an app to close it you had to press a delete button on the card to effectively kill the app.
And as an iOS developer I must say I am the one using my iPhones a lot (I have so many of them) and using them so much I still got 100% out of my iPhone 13 Pro after a year of intense use.
Also, that user here is mentioning “high SoC” which proves he doesn’t know what a SoC is (there are no “high” or “low” SoC). Personally I have been a research engineer in microelectronics before becoming an iOS developer. So when you read such nonsense just do two thing: block temporarily the account because the person is obviously here to troll people and enjoys having a lot of people against them or simply kick them out for good.

The previous version was 1.0.301 for those who wonder about the A but in 1A301.
