Definitely a PR stunt, but even so, being sued because you are so behind on standards that it's hurting other businesses certainly puts the spotlight on you.

- stephenr 10y ago"So behind on standards". Remind me which browser engine has 100% es6 support? Now remind me which half-baked web api exposes local network information to the JavaScript environment. Oh right. It's HN so apple is the work of the devil and Google is basically Jesus returned.
- roblabla 10y agoThe problem isn't so much about how apple is so behind on standards. The problem is that they make it impossible for alternative browsers providing more up-to-date standards to exist on their platform, effectively locking away that userbase.
- zajd 10y agoIt's more that Apple is being very selective about which features to not include. Full screen support? Why would you not have that implemented yet in iOS? Notifications... all of these things lead to the conclusion that this isn't about security, it's about protecting the platform.
- pritambaral 10y ago> which browser engine has 100% es6 support? They were talking about HTML5 standards, not JavaScript standards. Standards like fullscreen support and notifications. > It's HN so apple is the work of the devil and Google is basically Jesus returned No one here has made such hyperbole except you.
