Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C
It's already been shown that USB C will work in the older iPhones.
Apple should get their act together.

'Napoleon' is a hit with the box office, but not so much with critics
Main takeaway from this article: Ridley Scott is a dick.And apparently he needs to stick to scifi and stay away from history. Nobody cares if Alien movies are historically accurate.

Cook wanted Apple and Google to be 'deep, deep partners'
The premise that it's perfectly fine for one company to pay another to be the default search engine on the 2nd company's devices is absurd.It should absolutely be illegal.In the radio industry, a similar concept was payola, the illegal practice of paying radio stations to play particular songs.At the very least, Apple should be required to show messages on setup and periodically during use that the Google search engine is a paid placement and offer to let users switch to a different default search engine. -
Apple illegally denied benefits to union workers, says US labor board
GerfnitAuthor said:I thought the purpose of a union contract was to lock in benefits with an employer so the employer couldn't make arbitrary changes. If you're a union employee, the contract says what you get. Isn't it disingenuous for a union employee whose benefits are defined and secured to say, "Wait a second. I also want what non-employees are getting"? Shouldn't those be negotiated? [Note: I've worked in the vicinity of union employees but have never been a union employee. My lesson from that experience was never to do any part of the union employee's job or suffer a grievance – even if they're not doing it.]I see the problem here. You seem to be under the impression that the Apple employees in question are operating under a union contract.They are not.No contract has been negotiated yet. Apple isn't negotiating in good faith, and in the absence of a contract it is illegal for Apple to treat the union employees less well than any other employees.Apple is breaking the law.
