European Commission orders Apple to finally open the gates of its walled garden and level the playing field for third-party developers
European Commission orders Apple to finally open the gates of its walled garden and level the playing field for third-party developers
Earlier today I swapped the displays between two iphone se 2020s. To my great disappointment, the screen on the working phone no longer functioned properly (colors look terrible, could not change brightness, home button not working) because the screen was bound to the other hardware. Thanks for making repairs impossible and hating your customers, apple
And yet suckers keep buying apple products even though this is the most well known thing about apple products for 30 years
It's almost like...your choices... impact later?
It's actually what they like about iPhones. They just call it instead "it all works together" as if a tiny bit of convenience is worth 97% of your freedoms
I tried suggesting to my mom and then girlfriend somewhat recently that they'd be happier on android phones. I did that only because they both complained that iPhones keep getting worse.
Just the thought of one or two minor inconveniences shut down the conversation immediately. Shit like "I get texts on my iPad and phone now and it's easy to respond on either"...??? Beyond insane to me
swings and round abouts… tbh i love this feature of apple hardware because it pretty much means there’s no point to stealing an iphone: you can’t even part it out and sell it in bits… i’ve left my phone in random places all the time and i’ve never been worried it’s going to get stolen
totally understand that people have the opposite POV though: that it’s your device and you should be able to do whatever you want with it, and that locking down parts is a method to ensure apple status in the loop with repairs and overpriced parts
i think both points of view are valid
Good old parts pairing!
