Amaz­ing how this Apple App sto­ry isnt on your front page of the site.

“Tim Apple is cooked” was right there. I can’t tell if I’m proud or dis­ap­point­ed that you left it on the table.

Phil Schiler for CEO, please. He seems like one of the few remain­ing execs at Apple that still has what we (once) believed was the spir­it of Apple. Human greed ruins every­thing and when they were no longer the love­able under­dog who had (for many of us) a supe­ri­or way of inter­fac­ing with tech, it became a mil­lion­aire-stamp­ing fac­to­ry for those execs with ungod­ly valu­able shares and that spir­it has near­ly died. Maybe some humil­i­ty will revive it.

Legal, Apple, Gad­gets… this one has it all

@1:00:09 The Slate is basi­cal­ly the same size as the Mav­er­ick if the Mav­er­ick was a 2 door as well.

The most iron­ic out­come that could pos­si­bly hap­pen in the Google case would be if Microsoft ends up buy­ing Chrome. Grant­ed, I don’t think that’s going to hap­pen because it would essen­tial­ly repli­cate the rea­son Microsoft got in antitrust trou­ble 25 years ago.

1:34:59 world­coin is sim­ple to explain — it’s beads for the natives.

You could also make the argu­ment that apple only applies 3 per­cent val­ue to the pay­ment and con­ve­nience of using apple for app pay­ment and licensing.

I looooooooooove Jake. just sayin.

Orig­i­nal­ly Steve Jobs want­ed the iPhone to run on Web apps. It was devel­op­ers that demand­ed an ITunes like store for apps. But lat­er on, after the incred­i­ble suc­cess of App Store, devel­op­ers start­ed grip­ing about the size of Apple’s cut. Which is the real issue. Not Apple’s so called monop­oly. If Apple announced a 5% cut instead of 30% at the App Store launch, no one would be com­plain­ing now. Not even Epic.

Apple buys Open AI. Sam Alt­man becomes CEO of Apple.

God­damit I love this show

I’ve often seen par­ty speak­ers besides small food carts out­side con­certs and bars with long entry lines

If an app on my iPhone wants me to pay on a web­site and doesn’t give me a choice to do it in app there is no way I’m pay­ing them. The abil­i­ty to go to set­tings and look at all of my sub­scrip­tions and can­cel them all in one place is far too valu­able to me.

Push this but­ton and Nilay says I love you 6:22

Great episode!

God im so hap­py
These monop­o­lists real­ly had it coming

How many more Verge read­ers from the EU? Say hi! 👇

There’s a guy in my city who rides around our bar scene down­town with his two par­ty speak­ers towed behind him on his bike. He puts them in one of those cad­dies for kids. He’s out on Fri­day and Sat­ur­day nights in the warm months. I’ll try to snag a pic of him next weekend.

I ful­ly agree with Apple about in-app pur­chas­es from a pri­va­cy, fraud, and uni­fied pur­chas­ing hub per­spec­tive. ESPECIALLY in regards to less-tech savvy, old­er adults. I had to unin­stall no joke HUNDREDS of junk game apps from my grand­ma’s phone after she died. I real­ly wor­ry about the impact of this rul­ing on old­er adults and scams.

Oh yeah..they are every­where the par­ty speak­ers. They even have one with par­ty sync mode that sync mul­ti­ple speakers

Its crazy that a judge can cre­ate rules and impose them on a tril­lion dol­lars com­pa­ny like this. If I was apple I would con­tin­ue ignor­ing her, this is scary, these judges think they’re gods.

The day the app store died is the same day Tues­day’s app of the week was cancelled.

1:27:00 — Also, Apple brought iTunes to Win­dows and was able to sell iPods and lat­er iPhones to Win­dows users.
