Don't use a smartwatch or smart ring for blood glucose monitoring just yet
You may want to look in to the massive numbers of people who had no idea they had heart conditions until they put on Apple Watch.Massiveattack87 said:Honestly speaking... I never understood why we need this function..

Apple's first foldable screen probably won't be on the iPhone
Apple of the 2000s and 2010s I would say no chance would they chase this worthless fad all the way to a production product. But the current Apple under this leadership? The Apple that thinks Vision Pro is shippable product. Anything is possible.

Meta & Microsoft are lobbying the EU to reject Apple's new App Store plans [u]
That's not correct. "Consumer apps" is not correct. What you meant to say was, whether Apple has the right to be sole provider of Apple iPhone apps via the Apple App Store. Which of course they do, except in the batshit region of the EU where they think success is a legitimate reason to tear down a company and force them to do things that are in absolutely no one's best interest. The only reason this is even a conversation is because Apple's platform became popular. When things become popular, some people start to believe that they are entitled to them. Never mind the fact that the entire thing is Apple's creation from top to bottom.avon b7 said:

Apple defends its controversial EU App Store plans
My only issue with any of it has been Apple's selective enforcement of their rules based on who they are dealing with. An app like Amazon could never exist under the literal terms of the App Store TOS, but it does, and Apple's reasoning has been: "...because its Amazon..."InspiredCode said:They basically don't want to contribute to Apple R&D and profits. After profit, Apple essentially uses the device revenue to fund hardware R&D and the App Store revenue to fund R&D for the operating system and built-in apps. I doubt Apple will return to paying for operating systems, so the cost needs to be factored in somewhere.
I can see where makers of free apps, freemium apps, and one-time-purchase apps might think the alternative stores are not fair for them. The marketplace rules certainly seem more geared to apps with subscription revenue. However, they are not complaining about that, they just don't want to pay Apple anything and that will never happen.I don't think Apple's store is a bad deal for most types of apps. My criticism over the years has always been that some store restrictions go too far in the name of protecting the platform, there is no way to follow GPL licensing for apps on the store (ability to remove DRM etc.), and certain types of digital content just fundamentally doesn't work with App Store pricing. If alternative markets have any effect, I would prefer it to address these areas. Better, that Apple will just resolve these issues on their App Store.

Apple defends its controversial EU App Store plans
Absolutely not. There are plenty of things Apple does wrong, but the EU's approach is absolutely batshit and does not need to be emulated anywhere else.xyzzy-xxx said:I think more countries need to act, probably Japan and maybe even US is next ...
