@rsgnl I also went from the 11 Pro to the 14 Pro and I couldn’t agree more. In some ways it’s a step backwards as it’s less comfortable to hold and harder to use with one hand
@jack The web is a user-hostile environment. Native apps provide a better user experience than web apps. I think a more sensible solution is to more tightly regulate the duopoly of app stores we currently have.
@SamiFathi_ I wouldn’t say it’s that simple. When companies’ products or services become too large and are woven into the fabric of society, some regulation is needed. This is precisely why suppliers of energy are regulated — everybody relies on it.
@appltrack@theinformation If true, the marketing team needs to come up with a really good name for the search engine. The name needs to be something that can be used as a verb. A boring name like ‘Apple Search’ won’t do them any favours.
@imyke@jsnell When Apple sells an iPhone 14 for for $799, they receive $799. When they sell one for £849, they receive £707.50 as the 20% VAT is included in the retail price. At current exchange rates, £707.50 = $811. UK customers aren’t overcharged by Apple, they’re overtaxed.
