But I thought the only reason for the Mac AppStore was to make Apple tonnes of money and feed its monopoly.

How dare it be one of the safest places to get software legitimately.

It’s almost like it was designed for that purpose or something.

Sarcasm directed to the EU aside, I agree with the first poster. It reeks of government creation to keep tabs on its citizens.

A friend dropped his iPhone 12 in a mop bucket and he immediately took it out but it was too late. It sucks but what can one do 🤷🏻‍♂️

My iPhone 12 Mini came out of the pocket on my SUP’s seat and went into the sea. About an hour later the tide went out and a crab fisher found it. I got it back and it’s been fine ever since.

It’s funny how something can work for some but not for someone else. But that’s electronics

I find it telling that Apple has only really pushed “Macs for gaming” since moving to Apple Silicon. I predicted the move to Apple’s own chips back in 2006 when Apple moved to Intel. I told my co-workers that Apple will do so because Intel won’t be giving Apple the power it needs. I was right and it seems to me that by making Apple Silicon they can finally create software for easy portability to Mac hardware. You’d think that the Intel to Intel process would be simple but it’s not got anything to do with the hardware. It’s moving DirectX to Metal that’s the problem and I suspect that Apple Silicon is providing so much power that that translation doesn’t negatively impact the games. Something that it couldn’t achieve with the slow pace of development with Intel.

Here’s the problem with forcing Apple. By putting the onus on Apple then, as was rightly stated, Meta et al won’t do anything at all to help fix the problem because it’s not in their interests.

Apple was right to push back.

That being said, I would love for Apple to provide much more fine grained tools for managing the devices my child uses so I can better protect him rather than leaving it up to anyone else.

PLEASE Apple, give us parents these tools on device rather than giving our info to third parties.

Incidentally I saw on the news the other day, there’s a push here in New Zealand to have social media platforms restricted to 18 which I 100% back.

REgain?  Apple stole half a billion dollars from them?

How’s that now? Given that the case failed on appeal and that Apple proved it did the same thing different and thus did not infringe?
