Other people tend to contact the vendor via their official support channels (i.e. https://support.apple.com and then click "Start now" under "Get Support") rather than complaining about it on the internet.

Apple Maps has high-level view capability, and also the option to download areas for offline viewing/directions. When you zoom out, it'll show you the borders of the offline-available area. Obviously satellite imagery and traffic

Rsync.net works out essentially the same ($6/month cheaper) on a monthly basis, but offers 10% and 15% discounts for 12 and 24 month options. B2 does mention a "capacity bundle", saying 250TB/year is $19.5K - but that&#x

I do feel for someone in this scenario (whatever the specifics of it are) but this should serve as a strong reminder to anyone : "Cloud sync" services ARE NOT A BACKUP. You want to use cloud sync for convenience? Great. It works

But that's the point: Google don't have complete control the "Android" that ends up on other vendor's devices. So Even if Google says "we won't allow other stores on <Google brand> phones", that

One company was honest about what their platform allows and disallows. You might not like how they choose to run it, but they did what they said. Another company made claims about their platform (both to end users and to business partners

That depends entirely on how you define "being open". To me what is open about the android platform is that it's used (and even customised) by multiple vendors.
