  • Is Apple about to announce a 'Broadcast' App?

    darkvaderdarkvader
    Ugh.

    Developers:  THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT RELEASE ON THE APPLE APP STORE - or at the very least not exclusively there.

    Get a website, they're cheap.  Collect money with something like Square or PayPal, they're expensive at 2.7-ish % but nowhere close to Apple's 30% highway robbery.

    And people like me who WILL NOT support Apple's extortion and DRM might buy your app instead of looking for alternatives that we don't have to install through that stupid app store.

  • iPhone 15 Pro Max camera bump could go on a diet

    darkvaderdarkvader
    You know what would be really cool?  NO camera bump.

    Just make the phone thicker.  We're going to do it with a case anyway, might as well not have the ridiculous looking camera bump.

  • Intel has a faster processor than M2 Max, but at what cost?

    I agree that this is fundamentally a desktop CPU from Intel. So if you really want a laptop, buy the Mac.

    Trouble is, though, that right now apple has no desktop Mac that can beat those geekbench scores, either.

    Apple could make a desktop that can beat those scores. But will they?

    Sure, they could.  But they won't, because they'd have to put a Intel or AMD CPU and an AMD or Nvidia graphics card in it

  • USB-C on iPhone 15 might still require MFi certified cables

    darkvaderdarkvader
    I've always had better luck with Lightning cables that were NOT Apple approved.  The ones I get are much more durable, they've lasted a LOT longer than Apple approved cables and Apple's own cables.

    If Apple pulls this stunt with USB-C cables, they can expect a big class action suit in the US, and probably class actions in multiple countries as well as prosecution in the EU.  It will not end well for them.

  • Apple's Studio Display doesn't shine in the light of competition

    darkvaderdarkvader
    Apple's monitor prices are highway robbery.  There's no way I'd ever buy or recommend a client buy an Apple monitor these days.
