    Here's my thought...Apple is not going to win all of these cases around the world and in some locales they are going to likely have to allow side-loaded apps and/or payments outside the App Store framework.

    It seems to me that they have this somewhat figured out on the MacOS side of the house.  Do you think what is going on with MacOS a fair comparison?  I know historically it hasn't been locked down like iOS.  Although I could be wrong, I seem to recall MacOS asking me what level of security I want in this regard.

    I personally am a fan of the security of the App Store and iOS in general, but think the writing is on the wall on this issue.

    It will come to if you side load an app and it bricks your iphone or ipad, you are on your own.

    I sure hope the Mac Pros will have PCIe 4 slots. We use 32gig fiber cards in our editing systems.
    Since the M1 already uses PCIe 4, it seems like any Mac with card slots will necessarily support PCIe4.

    And were did you see that? The M1 chip has a custom SSD controller, That does not make it PCIe4. Unless you think that USB4 is the same, and it is not.
    Apple.


    That's for the MVMe storage Not for x4, x8 and x16 lane slots. That would call for a chip above the M1.

  • Judge backs Apple in BlueMail's App Store antitrust case

    There’s no precedent set when a lawsuit is dismissed without prejudice. It means they can refile the lawsuit upon providing another legal theory that supports their claims. If the judge had tossed the case with prejudice, that would be a different story.
    What's your point? 

    It's this.
    A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite. It's not dismissed forever. ... Involuntary dismissals happen when the judge decides the case can't go forward because of a legal reason.

  • How to watch Apple's 'iPhone 12' release event at 1:00 PM ET today

    killroykillroy
    The last event would not play in Safari. It only played in Firefox. Apple support could not get it to play.
    Sure hope they fix it this time.
