Fuck off and die asshole. We do not worship the ground that Apple walks on. Hell, we don't worship the ground of any manufacturer. Again, fuck off and die fan boi(as in fagot).
So name the half decent device that isn't loaded with crapware they should have bought instead?
Too often voting with your wallet is like voting in the old Soviet Union, you can choose any member of the Communist party you want.
Easy.
iPhone.
And unlike Android, which only lets you HIDE certain Apps (which you can also do with iOS), you can actually DELETE (as in G-O-N-E GONE!) nearly All preloaded Apps (which will also NOT be any "Carrier" Apps; since Apple doesn't allow that horeshit!) :
It's a date. In time. Stop with the Apple persecution complex.
I suppose you also believe that Googles Pixel events, being after Apple's, is Apple trying to fuck with Google. No? I didn't think so.
Nice try; but no.
Pixel isn't even a blip on iPhone Sales, and is simply a competitor. Samsung is an arch-enemy.
Everything is a date. In time. But if you look at Samsung's new model releases over the past several years, I will bet you will see a similar pattern. After 2011, they are ALWAYS (except for one "downgraded" model, the Galaxy 3 Neo) Released within a week or two of Apple's September iPhone Event.
OK... Not incompetent, anti consumer, uncaring or anything though is it? Just marketing jostling.
I'll give you "Not incompetent"; but the rest stands.
And I assume that you agree with my original premise that the release date was done to specifically "beat" Apple's iOS "Event".
Here is some independent "Proof" that, ever since at least 2012, Apple has a predictable iPhone Event in early September (It seems like iPads are generally released at their own Event in October) :
As I said, IMHO, Apple should mix-it-up a bit, both to simply fuck with Samsung (and possibly others), and to avoid the "Osborne Effect" with their current (outgoing) iPhones/iPads. And THAT's "Marketing", too...
There is nothing else to say about a ridiculous, anti-consumer Dickish move like this; done JUST to beat Apple by a few weeks. And that is ALL it is.
Apple needs to make that iOS "Event" date more random, JUST to fuck with Samsung!
*tries to work out what you're complaining about*
Nope... no I don't get it. Could you be more explicit?
Apple has, for several years now, announced their new Phones (and sometimes other products) at an "Event" that is typically held in September.
Samsung rushed the Note 9 to Market to get a few weeks of "media buzz" before the new iPhone announcement crushes their sales again.
And before anyone puffs their chest out about Samsung's unit phone sales compared with Apple's, please do a little research so you won't embarrass yourselves.
...For your Head is Hollow, and I have Touched the Sky...
(with apologies to Rik Vollaerts)
And how would it do that, you stable genius? First download a "voice fingerprint" for all people on Earth, so it can report which people it can hear?
I really can't figure out if you people are trolling, stupid, or just trying to suck off Apple. The voiceprints are generated from a corpus of samples produced when you use the device. Or, if in concert with the feds, from listening in on interstate calls. They can then be delivered to all devices as part of an update.
It took me about five seconds to think of a way to pull this off. Surely if you spent five minutes, you could manage it too. Instead of, you know, reflexively defending a corporation which doesn't give one shit about you.
Just answer this: is the world flat or hollow?
The world is round, your head is hollow.
Do you REALLY hear yourself, drinkypoo?!?
Perhaps you have had one too many of your namesake beverages...
Yeah sure let's militarize every gods-be-damned thing, as if we aren't already living on the War World. Endless cycles of war, what a great way to live!
and Tim Cook is not interested in paying for fixing critical bugs. They make spying-devices branded as luxury phones, do you really think they will donate money or fix critical security bugs at the root?
That is not what Apple does.
Dumbass.
Apple Engineers are SALARIED. It really doesn't matter WHAT they are working on; they cost Apple the same amount of money.
If asked to change the infrastructure for every time there is a bug. The fix will take years to get out, and a new infrastructure will introduce new flaws untested.
This is pretty much the only way security fixes ever happen for all "$OEM" products: the tech press hears about the flaw, then the $OEM decides "OK, now we'll fix it."
Apple does have a well-thought-out security design. Maybe there are things wrong with it, but to say they 'just fix bugs' and don't think about overall security ignores the truth. But I suppose that's what you get when you're click-seeking.
You can buy a device that unlocks the supposedly super secure iPhone. Every time they update the iPhone software and hardware, the device gets updated very quickly. That strongly suggests that he is right, Apple just fix each bug as they find it and don't fix the underlying flaws.
On the other hand, no such box exists for Google Pixel phones, for example.
No.
It strongly suggests that that device maker is being helped with Industrial Espionage.
Because these particular "Facts" are being SPUN to make them look like they are a behavior/policy/business-model that is EXCLUSIVE to Apple.
Every. Single. Time.
But even this SLIGHTEST effort will show them to be anything BUT Apple-Exclusive behaviors/policies/business-models.
For example: Since we were talking about Adapters (so-called "Dongles"), these were found in about 5 minutes of Googling, and I didn't even have to try hard AT ALL (my search term was [mfg] USB-C Adapter:

But I'm already voting against the walled garden with my wallet.
...and voting for no user privacy and constant malware.
Good choice!
Wake me up when you can delete iOS and install Android on it.
Hardly an "App", now is it?
Fuck off and die asshole. We do not worship the ground that Apple walks on. Hell, we don't worship the ground of any manufacturer. Again, fuck off and die fan boi(as in fagot).
Sounds like jealousy to me, eh?

Idiot.
Apple really takes it to a new level.
Unless you are actually ON the iOS OS Development Team, how would you know that?
If asked to change the infrastructure for every time there is a bug. The fix will take years to get out, and a new infrastructure will introduce new flaws untested.
Precisely.
This is pretty much the only way security fixes ever happen for all "$OEM" products: the tech press hears about the flaw, then the $OEM decides "OK, now we'll fix it."
FTFY.
Apple does have a well-thought-out security design. Maybe there are things wrong with it, but to say they 'just fix bugs' and don't think about overall security ignores the truth. But I suppose that's what you get when you're click-seeking.
See: https://www.apple.com/business...
Can we find holes in that? I'm sure. But they do have a plan. And that's the public one. I'd wager there's an even more detailed internal one.
Yeah. It is EXTREMELY suspicious why a non-Apple "engineer" would have ANY special knowledge of what Apple's bug-fixing policies are.
EXTREMELY suspicious.
Or, as is much more likely, he is talking out his ass.
Google Bug Hunter, who couldn't make Android secure, tries to tell Apple how to do proper security ?
Android is a security nightmare, it ranked way under other systems on that point. They have no solid grounds to talk to people about security.
Exactly.
You can buy a device that unlocks the supposedly super secure iPhone. Every time they update the iPhone software and hardware, the device gets updated very quickly. That strongly suggests that he is right, Apple just fix each bug as they find it and don't fix the underlying flaws.
On the other hand, no such box exists for Google Pixel phones, for example.

Why does stating facts seem to piss you off?
Because these particular "Facts" are being SPUN to make them look like they are a behavior/policy/business-model that is EXCLUSIVE to Apple.
