  • EU law requiring easier iPhone battery replacement inches closer to enactment

    So happy the EU is getting so involved in technology design /s

    If Apple had been reasonable, none of this would be happening. Apple should have put USB-C in the iPhone years ago.

    Also, if you recall, previous iPhone models could be easily opened by removing two Philips #00 screws on either side of the charging port. Since then Apple has been making its phones harder and harder to open. First they changed those screws to Pentalobe. Then they removed the screws altogether. Then they started gluing the battery in. Then they started serializing the components. It's not only a pain for users to repair, it's a pain for Apple employees to repair.

    Would you buy a car for which you needed special equipment just to pop the hood? And then once you got it open, any part you replaced made the car refuse to run anymore? If not, why are we putting up with phones that have purposely been made like this?

    Update: The cacophony and ignorance continues unabated in the Apple Card forum. People screaming their lungs out about how they can’t figure out how to set up Apple Savings, can’t transfer their Apple Cash to it (even though happens automatically), asking how many times they can make withdrawals (I thought a savings account was for saving). Many are angry because they have to have an Apple Card to begin with, even angrier when told they must be on iOS 16.4.1 for it to be available, can’t figure out how to add an external bank account to transfer money from and to. It’s really hilarious reading the posts.

    Are you that insecure you must not only enjoy other people having trouble but also gloat about it here?

    100% Mom's fault. At first, I was a little sympathetic and started to think maybe Apple should give her a partial break. Then I read what she said. Apple should double the amount of the charges the kid wracked up.



    Good lord you’re an ass. Could you withstand $32,000 of unexpected charges on your credit card? No? Then why the hell do you think somebody else should? For the actions of a six-year-old. What the heck is wrong with you?

  • Cydia, the 'original iPhone App Store' is suing Apple over antitrust claims

    ktappektappe
    Cydia is correct:  There were multiple apps I used that I obtained from Cydia that I cannot use today. Their claims are 100% factual.

  • Apple may shift to single-band 5G on 2021 'iPhone 13' lineup

    ktappektappe
    This seems like a bad idea.  What if Apple chooses the 5G band that's not the one implemented in my area?  Sure, one reply is "They'll be sure to sell you the one for your region", but what if I move or travel?
