  • NAB calls for activation of iPhone FM radio feature Apple says does not exist

    wood1208 said:
    Instead of FM, everyone should ask Apple to add a feature in Settings call iClean or iClean User Credentials or whatever you want to name. What it does is, It totally removes any association/reference of the device from current and any prior ownership. Means, it removes references from everywhere, iCloud, passcode/touchid, iTune login,manage applid from authentication server and than resets it. It still asks for current user's appleid/password to initiate the feature. But at the end, you can hand over the iDevice to a new owner in a state like when the device was brand new. In Android world, the cleanup of device is so simple. This feature does not compromise any security protection in place. But, Apple will not provide such feature. Apple wants your device to get into activation lock, abandon it and force you to buy new one. It's call civilized extortion..

    Done.

    This has been in iOS since the beginning.

  • Qualcomm CEO reiterates Apple feud comes down to IP pricing

    Sounds like someone is doing the dog and pony show to try to reassure shareholders... Remember what happened to Imagination? Yeah, buckle up buttercup because Apple is dropping your tech and not paying you a dime.

  • Greenpeace lauds Apple renewable energy efforts, decries 'right to repair' stance

    I disagree with Greenpeace’s stance on right to repair. The issue is that it really opens the device up for upgrades. What happens to the battery that the end user replaced? The screen? It probably went in the trash... the worst possible place. If it were repaired at Apple, it may cost more but it would be done correctly with proper parts and the waste recycled. 

    Users would slso use this to upgrade thier devices. For instance, what happens to all the RAM, old drives or CPUs you remove? That’s right... landfill. By simplifying connections and assemply, Apple insures the device will last longer and remain useful. Most companies are cheap because they release the product and then stop updating and supporting it in a year and shirk responsibility for recycling it. Apple bakes all of that into the cost of the unit.

  • First shipment of Apple's iPhone X limited to just 46,500 units

    Same old spiel. Apple announces awesome product. People demand product. Journalists claim Apple is missing the mark with production. Launch day reveals massive success. Shipping times escalate to months. Naysayer claims Apple is doomed. Word gets out about how awesome the product is. Real people don't care how long it takes to receive a revolutionary product. Apple makes billions. Rinse and repeat.
