  • EU to propose common charger for all smartphones, ignores Apple's protest

    StephaneBStephaneB
    The EU institutions are populated with people struggling to justify their jobs, so they come up with dumb and hurtful ideas that they hope will make them look busy. They will now mandate USB C, preventing any better solution to be developed.

    It will not prevent any waste, this is ridiculous, most new phones sold are wirelessly chargeable, making that legislation obsolete before it is even written. Will it mean that phone suppliers will be mandated to keep a useless charging connector? Isn't that electronic waste? Will the next step be to forbid Magsafe because it is different to Qi?

  • Sonos criticizes Google, Amazon, and Apple at Senate antitrust hearing

    StephaneBStephaneB
    Sonos products are great, better than Apple's HomePod and Apple knows it. Other connected speakers with better sound than HomePod come from B&O, Kef, Dali and others. In the case of Sonos, they are price competitive with Apple. If find it lame from Apple to demand that users have a HomePod in order to be able to use Siri with another speaker. It is both stupid and anti-competitive. It is stupid because it won't make Sonos customers buy a HomePod, it will only lower the value Apple customers get from Siri, weakening Apple's position.
