Unfair and Biased.

What about Google Pay on Android phones and Samsung Pay on Samsung phones?

Just because they ain’t as big as Apple Pay?

Regulatory are no longer about regulating but more of a political machine and monetary generating machine.

iPadOS adoption rate slower can be attributed to the lifecycle of iPads. Generally, consumers do not replace their iPads as often as iPhones, and passes down also extends the lifespans of older iPads that may not be able to update to newer iPadOS.

The stats seems to be consistent with what I am seeing among our clients with children. Example: Even old models such as iPad 3 and 4 are still in use by the youngest child in a family. 

CY2022: TSMC 4nm, M3 SoC with 5G modem embedded?, A16 SoC with UMA but  5G modem separately on PCB?

This feature in iOS 14 will also break any fixed IP address assignments (since the MAC address will change each time the device connects) and therefore any firewall rules that are based on IP addresses for those devices will break.

No, it does not. The MAC address is fixed per SSID unless that SSID is deleted and re-created under same name but the BSSID changed.

In the early iOS/iPadOS 14 betas, it did change per reconnection. But that’s been fixed since mid-beta and also in GM.

Not sure about Cisco platform. For UniFi platform, it’s been tested and working well across iOS/iPadOS 14 and watchOS 7 devices.

The irony here is that it is Mr. Sweeney who is trying to force something on consumers. He’s right in that consumers should be able to get apps and services from wherever they want. That option already exists. It’s called Android. Yet consumers have time and time again voted with their wallet.  They want a secure curated system where they don’t have to worry that some email link will direct them to an offshore store full of malware. Mr Sweeney would seek to destroy the security Apple has built for a few extra dollars. Sad really. I hope the court hands him his a$$ in a handbasket. 

For me and family and any extended family within my influence/manage (Yes, I running centralised manage with the explosion of devices and madness of them come running to me to fix their problem as though I am their IT Support), if one day iOS App Store becomes like Android Play Store, or the platform loses it curated and secured commercing appeal, I will make sure none of the mobile devices store any credit card, medical, etc sensitive information. I HAD enough of the rubbish phishing, spamming, personal info theft, etc just for sake of advertising revenue (to someone else's pocket, not mine).
