Apple positioned themselves as hardware company but continue to sell us ads and locked in software.

If they are open their platform wildly, the open source community will help, but Apple closes platform, close mind.

Re:Apple has added persistent 'ads' to iOS, and it's driving users crazy on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @04:53PM (#49807929)

I thought Apple could sell us privacy as feature because they don't sell ads .

I guess Apple is shooting their foot by selling their user data for ads because of money.

Betrayal?

If developers want to get the same processing speed, are we ready to pay as much as we pay for Apple App Store?

Does this apply to Apple computers?

Re:Android May Soon Restrict On-Device ADB on Saturday July 25, 2026 @04:56PM (#49051478)

Apple did this since day one on 2007, no one bat an eye. If we want this to be fixed, IMO, we have to do this in politics.

Re:Advertise in ChatGPT on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @10:26AM (#49007394)

Why would people still use ChatGPT?

It's barely free, not that reliable, not the most trustworthy, and now they are popping ads right on my face.

Either spending a good money on the best one, or using the open source models seem to be the future.

Guess it's just another price bump hidden behind output token speed.

Re:GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17 on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @11:59AM (#48572324)

That's exactpy why I get Google Pixel phones.

Support expires? Upgrade to custom ROM Ads? Upgrade to custom ROM Want to use it as server? Upgrade to custom ROM.

If I would use Apple iPhone, these old phones would be trash very soon.

Wonder why Anthropic wants all those data? Isn't it a good company?

Re:German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @12:41PM (#48478966)

I guess the same rules also applied to OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon?

Re:Stop the Apple Music app from launching on Monday June 08, 2026 @06:03PM (#48452910)

Thanks for the solution! I've been bothered with this issue for ages.

Many times Apple Music also triggered by the Bluetooth devices which is super annoying.

Apple really needs to implement a way to remove Apple Music completely.

Re:I Now Assume That All Ads on Apple News Are Scams on Friday February 06, 2026 @10:33AM (#46914074)

Apple News Ads just started in 2024. Maybe they are still learning how to battle the dark side of the Internet.

Use other platforms. Don't use Apple News. You could use an AI chatbot to find news for you. It has no ads, much easier to read, totally free, and tailored to your instructions.

Re:Apple has locked my Apple ID, and I have no recourse. A plea for help on Saturday December 13, 2025 @01:59PM (#46256960)

That's probably why people should not live in the gated garden. Once they made a mistake, you will feel alien in the free world outside.

Rally can't trust Apple making any standard. They always want to make more money than it is worth, and create demands which eventually causes monopoly and waste.
