he's not asking for a warranty claim or replacement, he's asking for a repair service. it's like taking your 10 year old accord to the service center to get some bushings/mounts/battery or whatever replaced

Revenue doesn't equal profit. Apple's 2023 net profit was 96b, so a 14b fine is a substantial portion of their overall profits (~15%).

Of course, they're not hurting by any stretch of the imagination, 82b is still a STUPID amount of money, but we should be getting the facts and numbers correct

you're talking about a bandwidth cap, not a data cap. data caps are when you get throttled after downloading a certain amount of data or get charged extra. think phone data plans where you have 10 or 20gb or whatever per month

reading the article, it doesn't even seem like a dynamic island problem. the author is complaining that they are unable to quickly glance and what notifications they have without pulling the notification shade down, which would have happened whether the island is there or not. iOs has never done that, even when displays were squared off with no cutout. article feels clickbaity and complaining about nothing

totally agree, peer reviewing is the bare minimum, but it IS a step above any old article published on a random website. also would like to acknowledge the limitations of this particular study. fair criticism and is something the authors brought up in their paper too.

my reply was in response to the original commenter mentioning that there was no link to the study at all.

At the bottom of the article, the paper has been published in a peer reviewed journal.

iMessage lock in is almost exclusively a US problem (maybe EU, but i have no experience living there so i'm not sure). I'm from Malaysia and 99% of communication here is done through whatsapp and I know this is true for many other countries too. Line is frequently used in korea, Wechat in china, etc. It was only when I moved to the US that I used iMessage in any serious capacity
