Another excellent thread from @… I especially agree with this bit:
"The EU needs to get the *hell* off US tech infrastructure. Under Trump, Big Tech and the US government have stopped even pretending that American tech companies are independent of the US government. We know (from China) that Apple will happily backdoor its cloud servers to assuage authoritarian governments"
Not easy for even a motivated person to achieve without a lot of help though. Yet.

pluralistic@mamot.fr - Apple has threatened to stop selling iPhones and other devices in the European Union (home to over 500,000,000 affluent consumers) if the bloc doesn't rescind the Digital Markets Act, a democratically accountable anti-monopoly law that bans Apple from blocking third parties from offering services to iPhone owners:

"These were the times of Justine Ezarik opening a box containing the 300 pages of her first AT&T bill. Of Joe Hewitt releasing the iUI framework. Of Steve Ballmer laughing at the iPhone. Of James Duncan Davidson’s iconic photo of the iPhone inside a glass screen.
The iPhone SDK and the App Store did not come alone. They were accompanied by an infamous NDA that lasted until October 2008. It prevented devs from asking questions on a new website called “Stack Overflow”."
The iPhone 17 Pro feels so much better in the hands. I think it’s a combination of rounder edges and smoother frosted glass back.

i don’t understand the product positioning they’re doing for the iPhone Pro, with the “tough sports power tool truck nuts” product design and marketing.
People went for the Pro instead of basic iPhone basically for the camera, no?
So people who want the better camera and just a normal phone now have… nothing.
Do they have a lot of demand for a tough sports power tool truck nuts phone?
And who wants the Air, that’s mainly more expensive than the basic phone but has a worse camera?

I need a recommendation for a new iPhone 16 case. The Apple Silicone case which I bought, and that I thought would last a decent wedge of time, only lasted 11 months before snapping at the USBC port.
The Apple Genius said that it wasn't covered by warranty, which didn't really impress me as I'm very careful with my phone. The Silicone is also peeling at the bottom.
