MagSafe magnets are in the dock, not in the case.

Always remember that anal-ysts are called that because they pull stuff out of their ass.

DMA is focused on preventing “gatekeepers” from unfairly favoring their own services and promoting interoperability.

1. If Apple Intelligence were to prioritize Apple services like Apple Music or Apple Maps in searches or recommendations, the DMA would apply.
2. iPhone Mirroring is only native to Apple devices which violates DMA’s interoperability requirements.
3. Similarly, Shareplay ScreenSharing will require an Apple device on both ends, meaning it also violates the DMA’s interoperability

Examples?

You are failing to understand the distinction between deliberate and necessary.

Read the whole story. They’re not slowing your phone down because it’s old, nor are they doing it deliberately. It’s to keep your phone working if your battery is worn out.

I swear, people never let the facts get in the way of a good hate-jerk about Apple.

Literally never true.

This makes no sense. The battery isn’t in the Vision Pro. There’s nothing in there to get hot while charging.

This is not “enshittification”. How quickly that term is coming to mean “anything I don’t like”.

黄油 are the symbols for both “butter” and “grease”. In this context, the correct translation would be grease, not butter.

I disabled Atmos. Literally every song I tested sounded noticeably better in Stereo. Atmos makes sense for movies, but I’m convinced Atmos music is snake oil.

It’s not clear what you’re asking for. You want to use a Mac keyboard on a Windows PC?

Both DVD and blu-ray support branching paths the user can select, so I guess, why not both? Let the viewer pick.

Of all the things I thought Star Trek would never reference, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was pretty high up there.

Please buy Tesla… and fire Elon.

I honestly don’t think it’s that big a deal. When the leather cases got marked people called it “patina” and said it was a good thing. I always thought it was pretty disgusting.

I think these new cases are fine, and that Apple blogs love a good outrage story.

Sonoma not supporting your Mac does not mean that it is obsolete. Apple still supports macOS Big Sur with updates, and that came out in 2020.

Macs that can’t run Sonoma will continue to be supported for many more years.

Apple has a 14 day return policy for any reason. If you just bought them, return them.

Maybe I’m entirely wrong: isn’t this the forced obsolescence that Apple is famous for?

Apple does not and never has practiced forced obsolescence. In fact, quite the opposite, as iOS is supported in iPhones for much longer than any version of Android ever is.

The “famous” story is about Apple keeping your phone alive by (necessarily) throttling the CPU when your battery was worn out, so that it wouldn’t shut down due to lack of power.

If they did anything wrong, it was not explaining this well enough.
