  • Apple will crush the DoJ in court if Garland sticks with outdated arguments

    I'm looking forward to the DoJ crushing Apple in court.

    Not buying this nonsense.  Apple has been breaking the law in a big way for years, it's time for them to pay.

  • All iPhone 16 models rumored to have thinnest bezels yet

    I’m prolly in the minority but I think the iPhone 11 Pro Max was a better phone than my iPhone 14 Pro Max because the thin bezels are obnoxious. 
    I doubt you are.  The bezels are already too thin.  I'd rather have bezels and a home button - and no idiotic notch/pill.

    Thin bezels not only look awful, they mean there's no good way for a case to protect the screen.

    Is Apple turning into Boeing?
    Already did, years ago.

    Apple started as an engineering-driven company.  Woz made an amazing computer, Markkula sold it, Jobs took credit.

    Apple is now a beancounter-driven company, just like Boeing.

  • Epic and allies are complaining about Apple's US App Store fees, while they charge about t...

    VictorMortimerVictorMortimer
    I don't understand why you'd try to pretend it's even remotely the same.

    Epic does not control access to any platform.  Any developer can put up a website and sell a game directly to the public, giving Epic nothing at all.

    The same does not apply to Apple.  A developer putting up a website can sell a game to Windoze users, Mac users, Linux users, and Android users.  But they cannot sell to iPhone or iPad users without Apple's permission and losing 15% or 30% of their revenue to Apple.

    I'd be perfectly happy if the "app store" concept died completely.  But if a developer chose to put something in Apple's app store, or Epic's game store, that should be on them, not on Apple.

    I'd much prefer to download software to my iPhone directly from the developer's web site, not having Apple playing gatekeeper, morality police, and robber baron.  I'd prefer to be able to back up that game to my storage, so that if it's ever taken down I can still reinstall it on another iPhone, not having to rely on Apple to keep it online.

  • Apple gradually releases new firmware for the AirTag

    VictorMortimerVictorMortimer
    I really, really dislike getting ANY update without adequate release notes.  And not being able to control when or if I'm going to be installing an update is NOT ACCEPTABLE, as is not being able to reverse a problematic update.  Apple is going to end up breaking stuff and being on the receiving end of a class action lawsuit about this garbage one of these days if they keep it up.
