As I’ve mentioned previously, WebKit is a mission critical framework that many thousands of apps use, including Apple’s. Strategically it makes no sense to not own something that important. Remember: Safari was created when Apple’s 5-year d

I’m an iOS user and I can tell you Apple is not doing a good job keeping the App Store free of scams. No App Store is going to be 100% free of scams. In my experience of having downloaded several hundred iOS apps over the years, it’s pret

I don't believe that it takes 300,000 people to assemble iPhones. Apple and supply chain experts disagree with you. I don't think you understand the massive scale Apple operates at. I mean, it is what it is. * There are 1.382 bi
