That’s no bug. Someone’s getting fired. for good reason. 

Nearly equivalent to posting up a hoot of James early ray when Martin Luther king’s name is typed in if that were a fresh event. 

What an utterly fucked up analogy, devoid of all merit. How do people like you come up with this shit? 

Let me guess, the words "Free Palestine" get you shaking in fear and rage too, and you see that as a genocidal statement, right? Because, the right and moral thing to do, is to keep millions of people under a brutal siege, walled in, while controlling their land, air, and see, without a shred of autonomy, and bombing at will, until the end of time. That's "peace" to you. 

You must live in a world where Israel hasn't literally flattened Gaza and slaughtered 14,000+ children and starved the rest. Yep, the sheer horror of the Palestinian flag.

One hour after this was posted, I tried it and no flag came up!  Apple must have fixed it, thankfully!

Thankfully? Were you shaking in fear and rage at seeing a Palestinian flag? Why are you so thankful? Who did this hurt, beyond the fake and predictable outrage and insane attacks of "anti-semitism" which these days seem to cover literally anything that extremist Israeli shills and propagandists disagree with? How often do you type "Jerusalem"? God forbid you see a flag which acknowledges the existence of a population which has been brutalized, occupied, besieged, and massacred for decades. Don't worry, you'll survive the tiny digital flag. Type in Israel or Tel Aviv if you're yearning for an Israeli flag. It will be ok.

They already have customers on their side, you think all Apple customers were ignorant about the devices they bought or that they lied in those surveys that consistently put Apple at the top of customer service rankings? The EU is ignoring all of them by kowtowing to greedy, whiny corporate bitches like Epic and Spotify. The world is truly upside down on this.

Funny how one of the highest vaulted companies in the world can be the victim here. I'm pretty sure Apple didn't get a high ranking by making the use of Apps impossible. 

Why can't they be the victim? Is victimhood depending solely on money? If a rich person gets murdered by a poor person, are they not victims? 

Tim Sweeney is worth almost 10 billion dollars. More than Apple's CEO, and more than any Apple employee. Stop pretending they're some kind of underdog. Epic blatantly broke Apple's ToS, ran a massive, cynical PR campaign against them including a 1984 rippodd ad meant to weaponize their 14 yr old Fortnite users, sued them, and shit on them every single day. It's WELL within Apple's rights to permanently revoke Epic's developer account based on their knowing and blatant violations of the terms of service. It's not a human fucking right to develop for iOS. It's a privilege. 

Who gives a fuck what Spotify says? Why do people give them wait? Their response would have been 100% the same no matter what. 

This asshole doesn't believe Apple has the right to design their own products. He wants to dictate the terms that are best for Spotify. These assholes want side loading and 3rd party app stores to be a tap away for consumers, they couldn't care less about the security of billions of devices, which Apple is responsible for.

It’s a product that wasn’t ready to leave the lab. Needed a couple years to distill into a pair of sunglasses. Only then should it have launched. 

Sad to see Apple rush this. What could have been revolutionary is just a better headset. This hurts future iterations more than helps. 

But even when Apple is ready with the one form factor they should have approved, it will still be more of an Apple Watch type companion device. Marketed like that, it will do great. But trying to push it as a takeover is just not something people want. 

What an insane fucking comment that spits in the face of the most fundamental facts, and technology. 

Apple didn't "rush" this. It's been in dev for at least 7 years, and people have been whining for YEARS about Apple not having a VR/AR device. There is absolutely nothing rushed about this. It's clear that it went through an insane amount of development. From the design, to the tech, to the OS, to the tracking. 

 And in what universe could this become a "pair of sunglasses" in a "couple years"? What? That's a psychotic comment. We won't have anything approaching that in 2, 5, nor probably 10 years. And how exactly would sunglasses accomplish what this device does? You need a light seal, as well as a fuckload of cameras and sensors to accomplish the experience they're looking for. I'm not sure what planet you live on where this is a "rushed" product that could have been sunglasses, had they taken another couple yrs.
