It's mimicking the appearance of something that's only present as a tradeoff on the iPhones, but without giving the users of their phones everything else in exchange. The notch is there because those things have to be on the front. It contains sensors and the speaker/earpiece.

Smartphone, probably not, but any cell phone? There are numerous situations where a parent and their child could need to reach each other during the school day.
"In Obama’s case, the original contributors at least explicitly knew they were contributing to a campaign effort, even if their millions of unwitting friends had no idea their private information was being harvested to attempt to sway their voting behavior.

They show the current time when you look at them. Sounds a lot like a watch to me.
The utility is there, it's just not there for everyone yet, which is what we were saying about smart phones 14 years ago while clutching our Palm Treos and Windows Mobiles close. Anyone grumbling about a lack of utility in a smart watch either wouldn't wear a watch regardless, or just never came across one that actually had features they found useful. If I *am* going to wear a watch, it's going to be one that does more than give me the time and date.
Even if it's digital and an expression of knowledge that costs nothing to copy, if the person who created it doesn't want you to have it, you shouldn't get to have it. And if you do somehow acquire it, you shouldn't be smug enough about the whole thing to think you're somehow in the right.
You don't get to decide what other people do with their stuff.
Your analogy is flawed. This would be like taking an all electric car with 60k miles on its odometer, completely replacing its batteries, and then also replacing the seats, carpeting, and the exterior body. Sure, the dashboard and engine are the same, but for this example it's got an engine designed to run a million miles.
Except the actual products *were* good. Dismissing them as jewelry or status symbols says more about you than them.
Good luck getting Audible or Kindle support on your favorite feature phone hardware, where literally everything has to be built and approved by the network provider, the hardware maker, and the individual service provider. The end user being able to install programs like Audible or Kindle is what makes a smartphone a smartphone.
Calling in an anonymous tip to legal authorities, like from a phone booth, which at one time charged 10 cents to make local calls.
To you kids out there, phone booths were public booths with landlines you could pay to make calls from.
To you babies out there, phone calls are how you used to talk to people using only your voice. No video, no text, and you had to dial a specific number to reach them.
If you organization has "American", "America's", or "Patriot" in its name or in how it describes itself, I'm automatically skeptical. Those aren't qualities you can just lay claim to. They come from how the rest of us see you.
As you said, "working towards". We're not there yet. Counting this stuff matters until we are, and even afterward to make sure that no one is being discriminated against when it comes to getting a job, an assignment, a promotion, or a speaking gig.
Fewer openings allows for a lighter, stronger casing, and if it doesn't have to be removed, it doesn't have to be designed with that in mind. You can make a larger and irregularly shaped battery in that setup.
It's not always about what you need. It's about what to get your kid who's just now heading off to college. It's what to give your new hire when you standardized on Macs when Windows 8 was released. It's what to replace your existing 2008 Mac with when it finally dies.
Apple was being unfair to artists, not its customers. Spotify customers who are paying through the app itself are the ones affected by the changes in Spotify's app, and Spotify has the gall to paint the situation as though these rules have suddenly changed.

It is when you manage to eliminate the "chin" at the bottom, which pretty much no one else manages to do.
You haven't paying much attention to that space, have you? https://blog.google/products/c...

It's a false choice, based on a false equivalency.
The short version: small government.
The long version: if it's something everyone wants or needs, privatize it so that someone can profit from it.
Question: was there anything in the Code of Conduct that was found objectionable?

One of Apple's selling points is the privacy of its customers' data. Do you know something to the contrary?
You've conflated the right to make a copy with the license governing a copy.
Even if it's digital and an expression of knowledge that costs nothing to copy, if the person who created it doesn't want you to have it, you shouldn't get to have it. And if you do somehow acquire it, you shouldn't be smug enough about the whole thing to think you're somehow in the right.

I think your opening statement is False. Prove it's True.
16:9 is great for *most* video. It's terrible for almost every other form of media.

Could release? They did it months ago!

I'll bite. *How?*
No one needed to block that. He wanted to nominate *Merrick* Garland. Merritt Garland sounds like a stage name.
