Apple hasn’t claimed it is banning Facebook or Google from their enterprise program. They are simply revoking the certificate that was spread to consumers. Those certificates can be re-generated.

I actually think Apple’s repair system is one of the reasons they have success. Most customers can’t repair their stuff so having a trustworthy place to go to is a really nice safety blanket. Compare that to most other phone or computer manufacturers where you have to ship your stuff or do it yourself and risk voiding warranties. I imagine eventually Tesla will offer an Apple-esque “Certified Repair” service option to increase their ability to help customers with non-Tesla employees.

At work we started doing private project-specific channels for whatever initiative we're working on that's cross functional. As soon as that project is complete, we archive the channel and move on the next thing. It's worked out really well surprisingly. Our public channels rarely get activity now because their subject matter is so vague but the private channels are incredibly active and productive.

They mean in violation of their terms.

Even if they took publications to court, the public opinion would not change for the better because people stop paying attention to any story within two weeks of when it's revealed. The damage has already been done. The only potential reasonable argument to do something like this is for Apple to scare off other publications from publishing damaging headlines in the future. But the benefit of this strategy would be little when balanced by the negative PR hit it would take by every other news publication writing articles and OpEds on Rich Big Corp vs small, struggling, important-for-democracy news organizations. There's no faster way to torpedo your public approval than to go after news publications.

Yes, if they want to be petty about bad publicity, there's other effective strategies like denying access to the publication as they did to Gizmodo back in 2010.

This would be a bad PR move. A giant insanely-rich company suing news publications?

Apple has dealt with overblown controversies before (Antennagate, etc.) and the best way to deal with them is to do what they're doing: communicate better, improve their software, make repairs or returns more affordable.

Puerto Rico is the 29th most populated state/territory in the country. They basically have the same number of citizens as Connecticut. It would _definitely_ make a difference for one of the parties - though it would likely be the Democratic Party. However, Puerto Rico has been voting on statehood for a very long time and has historically voted against it. In the past couple years they did vote for statehood - twice in fact. But they did so while republicans controlled congress and since republicans know giving Puerto Rico statehood wouldn't benefit them they will never prioritize it while in-power.

Remember the goal is a multiplanetary species. Earth is a part of the multiple planets.

Yes, but he is consistent. So you can always read his reviews and peg it down a notch if you regularly slightly disagree with him. I don't mind biases in reviewers if they're consistent in their takes.

Any reasonable developer will likely just use the safe area (which excludes the notch) to display video, photos or games.

Having to create and track separate identities for each app, particularly transactional/infrequently used apps, does indeed seem dated. But I think it’s a mistake to confuse the identity issue with apps as a whole.

AI won’t solve every use case. There will always be a need for experiences tailored for niche needs in productivity/creativity, utilities, entertainment, etc.
