Apple got the fundamentals correct from the beginning and I've always been mystified by the hot takes claiming it was a failure. It's designed with security in mind, so your HomeKit fridge isn't going to take part in a DDOS a

They absolutely stake out moral positions on issues like these all the time. The difference is they only do it in the West where rule of law prevails and they can actually exert influence. They've done it with various anti-LGBT efforts

Cool so then it just comes down to leverage. Developers who wants this have almost none and Apple has all of it. As a user who mostly doesn't care about the trials and tribulations that developers go through, my interests are aligned w

All of these things are already available in native apps. Putting aside all the business reasons for why Apple wouldn't want to do this, why should Apple spend any time to enable this for web apps? You say the choice is between a web a

Is there a reason for users to care about this at all? Because it seems to me that this just solves problems for developers while making the user experience worse or not as good as it could be. The same goes for Electron-based apps.

It seems to me the actual solution is to hire experts as employees. That solves the "can't put food on the table" problem. It's probably a lot more efficient and effective use of their cash. As far as I know Apple has al

As far as I know, Apple's bug bounties are the highest in the industry. They're not competitive with the black market, but I don't think they should try to be.

2017 was the year Apple decided they don't feel like paying for IP anymore. I can't wait to see how the Qualcomm case plays out. I'm not a lawyer, but the recent Supreme Court decision on Lexmark seems like a huge threat to Q

Your scenario will never happen because Apple indirectly employs millions of Chinese workers. Tencent has 38k employees. The government's interests are more aligned with Apple than they are with Tencent. Also President Xi Jinping is re

Even assuming that Amazon breaks the Instacart contract I'm not seeing the downside for them. Every single grocer should be more eager than ever to partner now that Amazon has shaken them to their core. It makes more sense for everyone

This is a mantra that's been repeated whenever "pro users" feel like Apple is neglecting them, but there isn't actually any evidence that this is true. It may have been true at one point in the 90s, when Apple's cus

The preceding sentence seems to indicate that is referring to black market information from government databases, which is its own problem, but isn't related to iCloud.

Given the way iCloud security works I'm not sure iCloud was breached at all [1]. Other reports seem to indicate that it was employees at Apple stores and third party resellers who had access to names, phone numbers and Apple IDs [2]. P

That's certainly my defense. But those prices are definitely much more reasonable given the scale of AWS.

You don't think it's a little impressive that a mobile SoC in a tablet (that is constrained by power and physical space) is matching the performance of an i7 in an iMac that has the benefits of sitting on your desk plugged into po

It absolutely does not make sense for Apple to support this on Android. AR is something that uniquely leverages assets that Apple has: its various AR related acquisitions (Metaio, FlyBy Media, Faceshift, Emotient, WiFiSLAM, PrimeSense) and

You posted a blog post by a Randian climate change denier who authored a book called The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. I'm assuming you just searched for the first article that tries to spin Apple's environmental efforts negatively

Nothing in this silly post doesn't also apply to Google. Google datacenters are connected to the grid as well. It's not feasible for Apple stores in cities and shopping malls to be connected to solar or wind farms. It's still
