He was the first employee and the original developer for tumblr. He made a few million whenit was sold to Yahoo. He created Instapaper that was eventually sold to PInterest. His current project is Overcast - the best podcast player for the iPhone. He is also one of the cohosts of the popular Apple centric podcast Accidental Tech Podcast.
While there at it, they should sue Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo for being a "monopoly" on their console app stores and sue Walmart for not allowing them to set up a booth inside their stores.
Amazon has had an Amazon Video app for iPhones and iPads for years.
They could have easily worked with Apple years ago to put an an app* on the 3rd generation ATV that didn't have an App Store - there are over 40 of them available.
The fourth generation ATV that did have an App Store has been around for two years.
Heck to everyone's surprise, the Prime Video app was released to the 3rd generation ATV last week. I still have three and with Prime and Plex on it (through PlexConnect) I don't have any reason to upgrade soon.
*apps on the 3rd gen ATV are really just webviews that use Apples TVML/XML markup language.
When I discover a new podcast, usually I "binge listen". I set all of them to "new" and then I go through them. I don't listen to all of them, but I selectively skim over them until I'm caught up. Then it just downloads the new one.
If you're an iOS user, don't go near the native podcast client with a 10 foot pole. I use the Overcast podcast player.
I thought that was typo but every news outlet is saying it will support ATV3. This is excellent news. I bought 3 third gen ATVs for $59 after the 4th was announced.
I didn't care about the apps available for the 4th gen and I'm running PlexConnect to have a "native" Plex app. The few freely accessible network apps that aren't available for the ATV3 I can get via Plex channels.
You can't deny network access in iOS either in general (only cellular access). But Apple has the good sense to make sure that installing a keyboard and allowing it network access had to be a very intentional act. You have to go to settings to do it. You can't just mindlessly click "Allow" based on a prompt.
Can you both tell it to not allow network access and still install it and it will run?
Do you have to purposefully go into settings and enable network access or is that one of n number of permissions in an unituitive list that people will just press okay?
Tell that to your carrier then. They are the ones who decided to customize your Android experience and then failed to publish any updates to you for it.
I no more have to wait on my carrier for my iPhone to get updates than I would have to wait on the store that I bought my Windows PC from to get Windows updates.
The sorry shape of Android updates is entirely Google's fault.
With Apple, you're either running the latest or you're out of support
Not true, there have been plenty of times where Apple back ported security patches to the previous version of the OS for devices that couldn't run the latest version.
Apple has allowed older devices to download the last compatible version for years.
I rediscovered my old first gen iPad (2010 last update 2011) when I moved. I reset it and started downloading apps just to see what would work. Most of the major streaming services still work (Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Crackle, the WB, CBS, Spotify). Google Drive still works and you can still download and use your purchased content from Apple. Apple's productivity apps also still work like Pages, Keynote, and Numbers and you can still sync the documents to other devices using iCloud.
Safari can't handle any modern web sites without crashing and it's painful to use with 256Mb of RAM but the other built in apps still work.
The native podcast app has been bad since it was first introduced. Once you change podcast apps to a third party app, you won't usually be stuck with it forever. Most third party apps support importing and exporting your podcast subscriptions via the OPML file specification. I use Overcast. It syncs between devices better than Apple podcast every have. It's more customizable, it's written by an independent developer - Marco Arment (first employee at Tumblr, creator of Instapaper).
Any app can not access the data used for authentication that is stored in the secure enclave that apps don't have access to. Even if they did somehow get enough data to unlock your phone, how would they actually use it remotely?
*The latest news is that third parties can nab face scan data on the new Iphone x. Customers are 'protected' by giving consent a fine print click-thu on their game (everybody they know is playing it).*
Wow! You mean when the OS clearly and boldly says *X app would like to use your camera (Accept) (Deny) and you choose "Accept", the app can actually use your camera to take pictures of you!
How does Apple "get" biometric data? The data that Apple uses you unlock your phone never leaves the device. Even if Apple did get it, what use would it be to them?
I haven't met a single person in over 10 years that bought a computer, everyone built their own.
You canâ(TM)t believe your anecdotal experience is representative of anything. Especially since over the last decade at least, more people are buying laptops than desktops
I have an iPad 1 that I rediscovered after moving earlier this year. I reset it and I was able to download the âoelast compatible versionâ of apps. It currently has Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, Google Drive, Plex, Spotify, Pages and Numbers running well. I used Google Drive to read PDF.s. The built in apps work well except for Safari. Safari Is painful with 256Kb of RAM.
My 6s came out with iOS 9 and runs iOS 11 well.
But would you prefer the alternative? Android devices often donâ(TM)t get updated at all and never after 2 years.
but if T-Mobile were to actively work on solidifying their coverage they could change that perception and really have some ground to stand on as a competitor.
Serving highly populated areas cheaply is T-Mobile's competitive advantage. Building out infrastructure in rural areas where they would have to spread the fixed cost among fewer people would cause them to raise rates. They compete on price. Verizon competes on coverage.

You're right, Apple has ruined every acquisition. That Next acquisition was a horrible decision

What decade are you living in? Why wouldn't you want your phone to automatically download podcasts you subscribe to?

And just a think, I can install a third party keyboard on iOS and not allow it any of these permissions - or even network access.

Netflix $10.99
Comcast
$10 âoeHd technology feeâ
$10 Each cable box rental
$5 Network Access Fee
$5 Sports Access Fee - not optional
Etc....
Unless âoehipsterismâ is a worldwide phenomenon, he was referring to the US. So are 50% of mobile phone users in the US skinny jean wearing, hipsters?
Yes because close to 50% of all cell phone users must be hipsters....
iOS 11 supports all 64 bit iOS devices - including the 5s.
