Apple is proactively removing them. Its a small breach, but is "apple cares about your privacy and will boot anyone from the App Store" a bad message? Maybe I'm just cynical and expect bad actors, and expect Apple/Android not being able to catch them all
In ToS, Kirk fighting the Romulans was a chess match, with respect on both sides. In Abrams its stuff blows up real good and Kill em all let Got sort em out. Radically different.
As far as #1 goes, I know you're not going to listen, but of course a President has an agenda. Besides executive orders, which Trump has done exclusively since he can't organize his thoughts to get anything through Congress, they can drive things through Congress. Do you call the ACA "ObamaCare"? If so, you agree a President can have a "law" and drive it through Congress.
Anyways, more importantly, as far as 2 goes, I need to trust them because they affect my life. Mortgage? Need to trust Equifax. Get a job? Need to trust Equifax if a potential employer checks my credit. Or yes, I can pay money to make sure they do their job. Such a racket.
See the first Android phone. it was a BlackBerry killer. Then they see the iPhone, realize they had their copy machine focussed on the wrong thing, and then copied the iPhone.
Apple never has won on checkbox marketing. They won on having features that were actually usable. They weren't the first MP3 player, but there are no other real dedicated MP3 players anymore. The Apple Watch wasn't first, but try to find an Android Watch on anyone in the wild. If Qualcomm says "Apple doesn't have features first" Apple would say "yep. Usually true. But we're the phones most people want".
What's this about trusting them? Did you ever fill out a form and say "please hold all my data?" Nope. You have no choice in the matter. It's not about consumer trust. Consumer trust has nothing to do with them making money. Only if their real customers (yes, you're the product) drop them will they have to change. This is a case only where losing money will effect change. But you and me will get a buck or two and only the lawyers will get rich.
Also, see Axciom. Another company with a huge amount of data about you, data they pull from various sources without you saying "please develop a profile on me to sell me new things". If they had a data breach, same thing - us normal folks would bitch and moan but no real change.
Or we can have the Trump administration have real laws protecting consu,......... nah, I couldn't even type the whole sentence out without laughing too hard to finish it.
Apple is in a weird position here. People actually spend money on iOS apps because they trust the store. People only trust Apple App Store because Apple exerts control over it. This suit wants people to buy their apps, but to destroy the control Apple has that makes people actually trust sending money to developers.
I mean, they had something like this on 8 bit computers in the 80s. Much simpler interface, much less refined, much less capabilities. But this is a massive refinement, not something groundbreaking.
This very neatly ties into that awful video where they had projectile vomiting on viewing someone's search history. I was just too blind to see how having retching and heaving and a floor full of puke was really the perfect way to speak technically
Capitalism is breaking down. Not in the way Marx expected.
Capitalism is a feedback loop. The wage outputs become the purchase inputs. We also have people trying to lessen the wages, which would reduce the resulting inputs, which would cause it to fail. Up until now, we "fixed" that by having growth that exceeded the loss of the wage destruction. A sort of virtuous cycle.
But now, where is the growth going to come from? We had a big boost from globalization, but even China is becoming saturated. The earth can't take exponential population growth forever. This current papering over of the problem is "have people accept getting less, and blame them for getting less". You're lazy unless you drive for Uber where they don't even give you benefits. But even this will run out. Your auto-driving Uber will send money to Cali, but it will not buy from your local hardware store. Your McD ordering kiosk will displace a cashier but will not buy from Barnes and Noble (if they even exist then). We think we're being clever by cutting the outputs, but we're also reducing inputs. I have no idea where that will come from. We're not even asking the right questions. We're just "disrupt disrupt disrupt". what if we're discussing the foundations of capitalism itself? No one wants to answer that. Prisonner's dilemma and all that.
Countless? Really? how hard is it to count the number of people who called Emergency services but later lost their lives because of incomplete location data. Yes, any number more than zero is bad, but don't make Apple out to be Vlad the Impaler or Pol Pot here.
They are neither. They are a design company. The luxury came later.
There are android phones out there that are, (don't get value-judgment on imperfect, its a neutral term here) imperfect substitutes for iPhones. yet people still buy them. No one is forced to. There is added value to iPhone for some people. Just because you don't see that doen't mean they're a marketing company. They make their own chips. They're the ones that finally got a GUI working when the PARC people couldn't get it to quite work cleanly. They're the one that got multi-touch working on a mass market device when everything else was two guys in a lab. They've done real things.
lets pretend the car is 7501 dollars. Customers currently can buy it for $1 with the Feds giving $7500. Now they have to pay $7501. Yes, that price hike will affect sales. Yes, Tesla had government support. The fact the checks weren't inked to Musk doesn't matter.
And they didn't even mention the first name was Phoenix?
Hmm, and then there was the naming controversy. Phoenix became Firebird, along with Thunderbird and Sunbird. Then, Firefox.
The naming things always kind of embodied the "close, but not quite there"-ness of FireFox. Hmm, and Thunderbird and Sunbird are dead. Just seems like a lot of work but a lot of wasted effort in places.
My uncle is pretty sharp. He had a non-working toilet because he didn't know how to make the chain from the lever to the flap valve shorter. It was "broken" for months. A 1 minute fix.
Not in ios10 or 11, at least not with newer phones. Slide to Unlock is gone. Tap home to unlock. If you have a new-ish phone with new-ish touchID it's almost instant.
You can slide to take a pic. Not a full phone unlock, you can just take pics, and see the pic in the sequence you just took.
That said, yes, iphones are slower than a dedicated device. Both starting, and per pic. Apple's Live Photos are an effort to help the lag some.
That said, the old quote "the best camera is the one in your hand" cuts pretty true. Remember that a lot of the early greats had what we'd now think of as really bad gear. Brassai had slow film slow lenses and a rickety tripod. I still buy his pics of Montmartre (as postcards).
The feature, which mimics a card swipe, enables Samsung Pay to work on any card swiping machine
My guess is the vendor mag reader doesn't know how to do the handshake which does all the security stuff that the chip enables. Meaning at some point MasterAmexVisaCard will jack up fees for swiped transactions to make them uneconomical. Apple chose right here, and chose the tech with more future ahead of it.

There was a simple pattern match to see if you sent a flamewar email. I'm sure it was string matches and counting.

Android users can't normally say this... they lose the ability to update after 6 months or so.
Windows, they threw out the OS a couple times.
Blackberry? Threw out the OS and the new one never caught on.
Other than feature phones, then yes, only an Apple fan *can* say their phone is still working fine.
Not sure how many fashion companies have their own ARM chip designs.... ones that consistently beat SnapDragons.

It has an iPhone app store monopoly.

I think your phrasing is off.. it can't quite eat up more than the 32 bit address space.
