How do you figure? >Apple made a mistake in blocking the developper account. The judge on the case doesn't feel that way. They have, thus far, agreed with Apple's side on everything except their decision to block Epic's ot

There are a few inaccuracies in your comment. For one, every agreement, regardless of the device it applies to very clearly states that violating the terms of the developer account on one device can be grounds for terminating the entire dev

Well, it makes sense that this story's headline would favor Epic - it's a headline on epicgames.com. They're the only ones still pretending like they're the victim.

Does that include children under 18, though? If so, then they're not counted in the income calculation. That means the problem is worse , not better.

They're not. In-app purchases have to go through Apple. You're allowed to sell things outside of the App Store so long as you don't try to use that to circumvent purchases available within it. For example, you can watch video

>they obsessively seek and destroy any way developers might get a single dollar from an iPhone user without giving Apple 30¢. That's incredibly disingenuous and you're either being dishonest or ignorant. The 30% is for sales ma

No... that's not the same thing at all ..? It would be like you using AOL and only being able to view the channels that AOL offered (which is exactly what it was). Apple has no authority to tell you what you can do with your device on

Because that's not a "digital good" and you're not buying something from your bank. It's the same reason you don't pay Apple 30% to buy something with Best Buy's app or Target's app. The rules are not

They're not. That's the whole point. These are Apple's customers since they're finding the app in the App Store. Epic has other customers that play Fortnite that are not Apple customers.

Because the rules of the App Store say that the apps that get charged the fee are those who rely on the purchases or payments as their primary function. Browsers have a different primary function.

That's a little silly as an example because AOL was exactly like this back in the day and had curated channels. You could still access external sites if AOL was your ISP as well but anything inside of the AOL application was reviewed b

This is nearly identical to the infotainment display in a Tesla. Was the author only looking at 1 type of car?

That's pretty naive, in my opinion. TikTok has access to your microphone, even on an iOS device where it's far more limited than Android, which means that the Chinese government has access to ultrasonics. This means that China can

Yeah... I guarantee you that Apple customers appreciate the consistency of the App Store, especially the payment systems.

>Apple is violating antitrust laws by forcing companies to use Apple Pay as a condition of using the App Store No, it's not. They do not require the use of Apple Pay. It's baked into the infrastructure of the product. No one is

You're saying that Apple is somehow uniquely able to defy the laws of physics and that other companies shouldn't be required to do the same? This isn't a quality issue. It's an issue with the chemistry and physics of bat

Does this only apply to the Android version? Wouldn't the iOS version need permission to collect things like bluetooth info?

Yes, you are misunderstanding. I don't see how that's not obvious to you. iMessage is tied to an Apple ID. Unregistering your phone number from that Apple ID doesn't turn iMessage off. The fact that you think it does is where

How does that matter? Signal doesn't have to use the SIM card either.

I don't really understand why I got downvoted for a 100% accurate and truthful statement.

No, you're misunderstanding what's happening. If you unregister your phone number from iMessage, then that's the end of it. People sending messages to your phone number will get SMS messages. It is impossible for a de-registe

>Signal for iOS cannot send or receive ordinary SMS messages. That's not an iOS limitation, though. I can send and receive SMS messages through Google Voice on iOS without any issue.

by dpkonofa 7y ago
iPads don't have phone numbers so the person sending you the message is sending it to an Apple ID, not a phone number. This is working exactly the way it's supposed to.

They'll usually pop up unexpectedly and say something like "Data Leaking App has used your location while running in the background 3 times in the last 24 hours. Do you want to continue allowing this?" and it'll give me

My favorite thing about these features is the number of apps that it’s reminded me to uninstall completely from my devices. The number of apps that I initially installed months ago that didn’t have any of this that suddenly developed tracki

Yes, but the only time that this would be an issue is if someone, somehow decides to install it themselves or the Tesla technicians installing it forget to change the password which is very unlikely considering it's part of the standar

What? What makes you say that? SpaceX literally shot Elon Musk's car into space to do nothing but float towards Mars. The entire point is prove that their rockets can shoot something that weighs a metric ton out to Mars safely. They do

I think it's mostly the people that think it's too radical of a change. They expected Tesla to release a more conventional vehicle that looks like other trucks now. Considering that the first Tesla cars looked at least somewhat li

It doesn't matter. The battery is still regenerating on the way down until you're back at the start point. A less steep angle might even be better because there's no potential to lose energy since the battery can only regen s
