  • Apple slapped with patent lawsuit over iPhone security features

    AgentEE7AgentEE7
    An organization proactively reviewing patents for invalidation seems like a good idea.

    Interestingly one of the reasons large companies establish a portfolio of patents is for protection against other large companies filing patents.

    40 years ago I learned the main reason for IBM’s large patent portfolio was to defend against other major companies attacking them with patent infringement cases.  The defense would then be leave us alone if you sue us for this patent infringement then we will sue you for 10 of our patents you have been infringing.

    Obviously this is a very useful defense against large competitors.  But doesn’t protect against litigious companies that manufacture nothing, or against original patent owners that may (or may not) have a legitimate claim.

  • Apple currently limiting M1 iPad Pro apps to 5GB RAM each

    Likely Apple will improve iPadOS large RAM usage.  Probably already in development/testing for iPadOS 15 to be released soon.

    Also, maybe special app certification could be required for extremely large RAM usage.  As a OS protection trade-off for professional application requirements.

    But, if individual apps are limited to 5GB on 8GB iPads, then should be OK to limit individual apps to 13GB on 16GB iPads - leaving the same 3GB for “background” use in both cases.

    Alternatively for 16GB iPad could double individual app limit to 10GB, which would also allow double available “background” memory to 6 GB.

    Would make sense to increase memory allowances for iPads with larger RAM.
