If I understand correctly, there’s some server usage implicated in the delivering of notifications, so it makes sense that it costs.

That and the fact that it’s a for-profit company expecting to be paid for their product.

I read somewhere that RE for the sake of improving communications is allowed, or something along those lines.

Apple is the most profitable tech company in the world, they should be able to get more talent to allocate to work on both stability and new features, is not like they’re a small startup short on money.

I have many Apple devices across pretty much all of their categories, that doesn’t stop me from being very vocal when in disagree with them.

Being an Apple user, heck an Apple fan, doesn’t mean that you have to applaud every single thing the company does and never disagree.

Usually a newer phone would equal more future proofing, however its worth noting that iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 have virtually the same SoC.

See the other reply in the post. It’s possible to do the same on iOS 17.

Holy shit it works!!!

Thank you very much. I was really bummed out thinking the feature had been removed.

Fwiw, sticking with Lightning for so long made all the sense in the world from a business perspective.

Why would they willingly let go all the money they received from the MFi fees?

To be fair, they said they’re ditching the leather products because of how much water they need to be produced compared to non-leather options.

Your sacrifice is appreciated, mate.

Having more SKUs is harder and more expensive to maintain; they will sell the inclusion of USB-C as a way to unify their charger across their platforms and to add Thunderbolt to the Pro models.

Funnily enough, I don’t think there are any visible Apple logos in the AirPods Max.

_Bixby Siri button yay!

I would argue that because the iPhone is their most popular product, they will do it.

When they released the iPhone X back in 2017 at $999, people were outraged at the price increase for the average iPhone price, and yet we keep buying more expensive phones.

Iirc, it’s been said that the reason for them to ditch CarPlay is so that they can add their own infotainment system where they can charge for subscriptions.

It’s not a technological problem, it’s a “we want to extract every penny out of our customers” problem.

It’s a bit late for this suggestion, but unless your moving for good, having 2 Apple IDs setup with different countries is the easiest way to handle moving abroad.

I assume that the only apps you might run into some issues with, are the ones that are not listed in your new country’s App Store.

Ever since I started using wefwef, about 3 days ago, it has had that issue—the other 4 clients I’ve tried haven’t.

Fwiw, I ain’t trying to throw shade at wefwef, it’s just something I’ve been a bit displeased to experience by using the app.

I really like wefwef visually, but the scrolling on the homepage is a bit too buggy tbh.

It’s not really the devs that are to blame, but the management team.
