Review: Gamevice Lightning-connected gaming controller for iPhone is unique, too expensive
Previously, and obviously still, Apple did not license the female port. Late last year, and earlier this year it was reported that Apple said it would allow 3rd parties to use the female port, but have not mentioned it since. The manufacturers don't just pay for a license, they also have to purchase the lightning connector from Apple, so to make an accessory with the female port (which was previously impossible, and probably still is) the manufacturer would have to pay the license fee twice, plus purchase 2 parts (male and female) from Apple.nolamacguy said:
where is this stated?dasanman69 said:Blame Apple. It's their policy that accessories can only have one lightning connector.
Here are some articles on the subject.

How to track Santa Claus with your kids on your iPhone or iPad
Who filled your stocking with coal?SpamSandwich said:Better to tell kids that Santa was a creation of the Coca-Cola company and appreciate who really purchased their presents...their parents.
Why entertain fantasies that give kids the wrong ideas about how the world really works?

AI readers pick: Your favorite news app for iPhone and iPad is Apple News
If you chose a 'topic' instead of a specific site you're going to get news of the topic from various sources.dysamoria said:I finally tried it out. I chose "my favorites". Then it showed me mostly stories from sources I didn't choose. Done.
i hate "the news" anyway. Surest way to have a bad day is to suck in all the BS that media companies obsess over because it sells advertising.

Otterbox debuts $130 Defender case for iPad Pro, new Air 2 and Mini 4 cases
A great many people do not buy the iPhone because it's thin, and lightweight. Your Ferrari analogy is flawed because most Ferraris aren't used as daily drivers, and they're also not used for work.Prof_Peabody said:Otterbox cases are likely no better or worse than any others but I don't get why anyone would use cases like this in the first place.
IMO it's a special kind of fool who purchases the latest thin, lightweight, mobile device and then wraps it in an unnecessary bulky case that makes it less thin, less lightweight and less mobile. It's the equivalent to buying a Ferrari and wrapping the outside in cardboard so it doesn't get dinged and the seats in scratchy old canvas so the leather doesn't get stained. The car will indeed remain pristine underneath, but it will look like garbage and be uncomfortable to drive the entire time.
