You can retrofit a head unit or a screen to an older car. It works really well and gives so many more years to an older vehicle.

Look for “CarPlay screen” on amazon

CarPlay transmits audio over wifi

I agree, but Apple built this tech for their users, and for whatever reason people choose to use it.

Some people choose not to use it. So why expect Apple to open their walled garden? If all your friends are inside and they love the flowers, maybe the answer isn’t to ask for free flowers from inside, but either go in yourself or choose to stay outside without the flowers?

Isn’t this like going to someone’s house and not liking their cooking, and then demanding they order pizza for you to accommodate what you want?

Just use WhatsApp / email?

I thought the point of Android was that we don’t like to conform to the walled garden. Why is there such an obsession with jumping Apple’s fence? Might as well get an iPhone then

“36% cut of safari deal”

is very different to

“Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple’s browser”

The former implies some sort of fixed cost arrangement.

The latter implies a revenue share based on traffic and volume of advertising. It could even include all search revenue for ads displayed in Safari via Google owned ad networks - even if the ad placement did not originate from a google search.

This summary literally strips out the most important part 😂

Google’s default search deal with Apple is worth so much to the search giant that Google pays 36 percent of its search advertising revenue from Safari to keep its search engine set as the default in Apple’s browser, Bloomberg reported.

Classic case of design by committee.

I see why they are “former” Apple designers.

I agree with this in principle.

However this would only make Apple stronger and android weaker.

Apple already does 6 years of updates, whereas android manufacturers are lucky to provide 2 years. Imposing such terms of android manufacturers will make them leave the market - thus reducing competition.

This is the interesting thing about looking hot. It brings its own host of problems; serious problems they aren’t really acknowledged by society at large because of apparent privilege.

Bad people can do good things. And good people can do bad things.

The technology and drive to get this rate of growth is amazing.

Probably so people click the link more often to find out what it’s about - which Musk then can take to publishers and say “look how much traffic we generated for you”

Geez, ads baked into an OS. What a time to be alive.

The idea that every manufacturer has the same problems, and that whilst this is not good, Apple is more across it than many other companies.

Survivorship bias.

Always on portrait mode is a killer feature for me 😄

This seems pretty reasonable to me - just because someone gets a parking ticket doesn’t mean they should get their government benefits cut off

Singapore.

It is bokeh - in some ways similar to a DSLR - I’d say the apple implementation is better - but that’s just me

For me it’s the always-on portrait mode that wins for me. And better cameras.
