In my opinion barriers are: 1. Outward appearance. People don't like wearing glasses if they don't have to. 2. Tech issues: e.g. short battery life, weight, need for charging, UX. 3. Compelling features that make them worthwhile t

Although I understand that point - the problem here is that reputable websites should be able to rely on Google to not serve such content. As for website owners who are running unscrupulous ad networks, that's on them.

Monitoring surveillance-style software is already commonplace, just not on iOS. For example Bossware has been common since covid and it's not a stretch to imagine a future where health and other types of insurers use similar software t

I just don't really understand how allowing side loading on the platform will "fix" anything for consumers. The thinking seems entirely shallow, there isn't even any consideration for how these 3rd party stores will hand

The reason why they keep hearing people defend the App Store model is because it works. iOS has the lowest malware share out of all of the major platforms by an utterly staggering margin. On the other side of the spectrum is Android and Win

It's a bit odd to see old is new again. Goog's Ad network had a pretty shoddy history with ads that redirect users automatically, but I had the feeling they got on top of this. It seems like something that could be stopped automat

A good question to ask is what each person considers drinking in moderation: The WHF considers moderation as 1 standard beverage per day (for a woman). This is the basis of their recommendations. Their other definitions include: A woman is

To me it didn't seem a co-incidence that Google Plus was canned once Apple implemented their enhanced privacy features in Safari. Google can already track you website to website with Chrome (e.g. shared browser history, amongst other m

It is indeed poor communication - why? Because: 1. The message is secondary to the medium. 2. The communication requires numerous unnecessary click throughs to obtain the relevant information. 3. The division of the information into various

Just to be a stickler on copyright: your comment repeats a harmful falsehood. It's important to call it out as people begin to think it's normal, leading them into peril. It is not fair use to take any amount of a copyrighted work

If regulation is the case, then they could have waited until iPhone 17 and implemented as nothing more than a port change. That's not what's happened though - the USB3.0 controller is part of the A17Pro chip. It's trivially d

One trick I noticed while doing data input for supermarkets (in a different market) is that price rises are always advertised as promotions. Say a supermarket has a $1.10 item and they want to increase that product to $1.50. They'll up

If this sounds familiar it's because accredited labs made a similar claims about the iPhone 7/8 and then again the iPhone 11. In each case it was the lab using an incorrect methodology. I wouldn't be surprised if that's

Not so as the mandate only applies to newly released products sold in the EU, not existing products. Also as the Pro's USB3 controller is in the A-series chip and not a separate component it stands that Apple had already planned the ch

You raise all good points, the sturdiness of lighting is understated by the industry, and this audience is perhaps not familiar enough to have that impression. As testament to the durability, the lightning connector was sufficiently durable
