It is an issue among teens in the US.

My bet is that is Apple comments at all, they will talk about closing a security vulnerability rather than cutting off android users.

Aaaand you were right!

Yep; different circumstances though.

Beeper Mini was shut down by Apple, which allegedly identified the requests from Beeper Mini and terminated access to its servers.

Nothing Chat/Sunbird, on the other hand, was shut down from themselves, because they were caught mishandling user information. The method itself was not shut down, rather they discontinued their own implementation. (Fwiw, Beeper has a similar implementation on another product of theirs, which remains functional as far as I know. )

Isn’t it funny that every tech commenter was like “Apple would have to re-engineer their whole iMessage stack if they want to cut off access to Beeper Mini”?

If I understand correctly, there’s some server usage implicated in the delivering of notifications, so it makes sense that it costs.

That and the fact that it’s a for-profit company expecting to be paid for their product.

I read somewhere that RE for the sake of improving communications is allowed, or something along those lines.

Apple is the most profitable tech company in the world, they should be able to get more talent to allocate to work on both stability and new features, is not like they’re a small startup short on money.

That’s what I mean, would you say iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari don’t share a good chunk of their codebase?

I have many Apple devices across pretty much all of their categories, that doesn’t stop me from being very vocal when in disagree with them.

Being an Apple user, heck an Apple fan, doesn’t mean that you have to applaud every single thing the company does and never disagree.

I would argue that iPadOS Safari and iOS Safari are not really that different though.

I understand that recording Apple TV’s screen would be very certainly used for piracy; I was hoping that since the video feed is coming from the iPhone it shouldn’t be a problem though.

Thanks for your reply. I will look into getting a HDMI capture thing.

Usually a newer phone would equal more future proofing, however its worth noting that iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 have virtually the same SoC.

We all know it’s pronounced “gif”.
