  • Well, it basically prevents something like F-Droid for iOS arising from the EU ruling. Kinda big deal. Not that the fanboys would care though. Apple is infallible.

  • Sure but they’re also sold secondhand. Also people can be born in one country, but move to live in another one… bringing their devices with them. Apple’s DRM can’t be tied to hardware.

    Why not? What happens in the examples you gave? The EU won't forbid such devices entering the EU or they'd have to confiscate them off tourists. How many Americans do you know who have EU devices and vice versa? That issue may be negligible.

  • Battery life must be equal or better, no extra points will be given for massive CPU/GPU power

    LOL. Cherry-picking much? You corpo fanboys are so pathetic.

  • I think it's sad. This corpo worship results in higher prices for all of us. Apple created this weird pseudo religion that makes other vendors (like Samsung) raising their prices more acceptable while competition should actually put prices under pressure.

  • Samsung is crap too. They just saw there are enough idiots paying horrendous prices and matched Apple's. I'd never pay even 1k for a phone.

  • Show the cable, don’t show the cable; no matter the outcome people will defend the design decisions when Apple is involved.

  • that I can do a lot of cross platform development

    I'd never have thought that to be the strength of an Apple device.

  • How about an efficiency breakthrough instead? Our brains just need a meal and can recognize a face without looking at billions of others first.

  • Nuclear produces that 1 GW 24/7 and all year though. My solar panels vastly overproduce on most summer days and are worthless at nights and from fall to spring.

  • Would be great if somehow this patent was bought out and made public domain so people outside the upper middle class could have an affordable way to track their vitals.

    Apple is a strange choice as a champion for that. Their devices always have been notoriously overpriced.

  • The company loaded it with whatever spyware they wanted and pushed it in an update. Now the app is garbage.

    Wait what? I have it too and see no changes at all. How does it spy since the app has 0 bytes of traffic (now blocked it to be safe)?

  • nothing about android’s licensing could make it impossible to make it impossible to not lock it down

    Sorry, I cannot decipher that. If you mean, this doesn't prevent phone makers to lock down their bootloaders: sure. But I just need to find one that doesn't and by an open source Android there will always be an image to flash. At least it's infinitely better than Apple's walled garden.

  • at least they allow you to use other app stores or even download them directly from the app developer.

    The bigger one is that the base system is still open source. That ensures a baseline of freedom. Google services are so intertwined that it's hardly possible to really live without but it is. Imagine a de-appled iPhone.

  • My friends have YouTube/twitch. They’re extremely popular, in the 100k+ range. They all quit their job

    That's surprising to me. Are 100k+ really enough to make a living?
