    Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you’re a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it’s time…

        Sure, he wasn’t an engineer, so no, Jobs never personally “invented” anything. But Jobs at least knew what was good and what was shit when he saw it. Under Tim Cook, Apple just keeps putting out shitty unimaginative products, Cook is allowing Apple to stagnate, a dangerous thing to do when they have under 10% market share.

        Oh yeah, render most of their already small software library incompatible for a 50% performance boost. It’s a sizable boost for sure, but not exactly looking at the big picture…

          But it didn’t though. Old apps work just fine. There are plenty of reasons to complain about Apple - but the way they changed architecture twice and did so with impressive backwards compatibility both times is not one of them.

            Officially, it didn’t, but actually it did. Officially it was the OS updates that made everything incompatible (and it did make more than half of my steam library incompatible) but it was those OS updates that were needed to support the new arm hardware.

            So look at it however you want I guess, but there are a bunch of 4-15 year old games that run just fine on my windows PC, but no longer launch on my iMac. That’s not impressive backwards compatibility.

      Yep crApple is the one pushing for the shorter SSL certificate length too. Their just adding headaches to everyone’s lives for no good reason.

          Yeah and having a 512 character password is more secure than 52.

          This isn’t some big exploit vector they’re fixing, they’re trying to make it more annoying to automate a IoT stack without the cloud.

          I’m going on what I heard from Security Now but it is my understanding that apple was the only one pushing for this and the others just voted to approve even though apple was never able to present a convincing argument for why it needed to be shortened.

    However, this U.S. court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards

    This is terrible writing. The court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards? No. The court ruled that Apple’s business practices were illegal.

    I will never support Apple because of their anti-consuner practices.

    I’m never giving epic games a dime, I can assure you if that.

    This is one of those things many people seem to think will be a win but will actually suck once every app is able to charge you directly.

      There is no pattern of facts where “Apple gets to collect a tax on any transaction you make on your iPhone” is a good thing

      Nobody forbids Apple from having a “vetted certified blessed” category where only apps that don’t are accepted. If you mean hygiene. If you mean that anal control from Apple is good, then I disagree.
