Big question for Apple 🍎 how much ? This is going to cost the American people. I know is not going to be free. Or is it?????????

Please troll somewhere else. 

Ugh…this again. Slow day for apple related news. There hasn’t been one real solid use-case (one that justifies the amount spent on R&D to bring this to the mass market) for this feature in a phone. If one currently exists, it would be a very niche one. And I don’t believe we need to flood the market with another product that has both a larger & smaller form factor than already exists.

Time to start piloting the new program of charging all developers for the use of the API based on number of apps distributed.  I'm sure that those 1500 developers will find that a much more fair way of charging for the use of Apple's intellectual property.

Except they have to do it in such a way as to not appear punitive to those developers, otherwise there will be another lawsuit. Apple needs to separate their developer software and include a pricing structure for “participation” on their App Store. Up to now, Apple doesn’t charge for their software. Perhaps they should. Furthermore, Apple could easily create some sort of membership that could include benefits such as advertising/marketing/and store placement. I’m planning to learn to code and eventually put something up on the App Store. Passive income. 30% seems fair. If we’re going to start chipping away at this, let make it a fair deal and spread it across all sectors. Utter bullshit.

It’s disturbing that apple is spending so much time on memoji’s and stickers which is perpetuating infantilism in our adults. Maybe they should focus on other areas of their neglected apps like mail, their entire production suite of pages/numbers/keynote or here’s a thought—come up with something entirely new that has features of notes/reminders/calendar. I’m embarrassed this is being touted as an improved feature.
