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.

There’s a case to be made about “buying” digital media and being able to keep the file in your local storage, that way it wouldn’t cost anything to the publisher when you play the content.

I understand the piracy implications, but most of the content is pirated anyway regardless of DRM, so the only ones affected are those who actually pay for content.

If I remember correctly, only a third of the whole payment was financed with Tesla shares as collateral.

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.

That’s what I mean, would you say iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari don’t share a good chunk of their codebase?

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.

I would argue that iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari are not really that different though.

I understand that recording Apple TV’s screen would be very certainly used for piracy; I was hoping that since the video feed is coming from the iPhone it shouldn’t be a problem though.

Thanks for your reply. I will look into getting a HDMI capture thing.

I do believe he’s a moron screwing Twitter up by ~~accident~~ incompetence.

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

I’m pretty sure those savings would apply only on pitch black interfaces on OLED screens, IPS panels do not use less energy by displaying black, unless is the only color on screen.

If a UI is dark grey (like the Nestle one in this post screenshot), all of the diodes on an OLED screen are lit up, so there shouldn’t be any savings whatsoever.

Also, we’re far from having dominance of OLED screens in the smartphone market, which would be required for your scenario to apply.
