Because they’re getting into bed with Google going with Android Automotive to turn the infotainment system into a subscription service. They’re also dropping the free Android Auto support too.

Realistically that’s along the lines of what Apple needs to do first if they’re serious about a car. Build a full infotainment system software suite and get OEMs on board with that. Your luxury makers going to EV like lucid, rivian, Mercedes, Audi, Fisker, BMW, etc… would all fit the Apple image

And we’re currently in one for “AI”. That’s kind of my point. All of these AI companies are in it to sell off before the bubble pops. They have one little seed of good idea but no fully fleshed out path because they’re hoping for their idea to be bought out.

It’s how it is, how it’s been, and how it will always be in the early stages of any new technology. You will always have small startups/inventors trying to get one idea bought up to get their big payday.

His first indictment was 8 years ago which is why you probably don’t remember it, and the grand jury investigation started 10 years ago. It was in the news for years off and on until the judge dismissed everything outright.

You not hearing about it is a you issue.

You can, but it’s not what people generally do. Not have they since the web was created. Starting a website or tech startup to get bought out has been a thing since at least the dot com bubble.

It’s been this way forever. Long before Google even. My uncle made millions during the dot com bubble by starting up a website, getting some traffic, then selling it off a bigger company. He did that 2 or 3 times and then retired in his 30s lol.

Hell that’s what the dot com bubble was in the first place. A million startups all trying to get bought by a bigger player.

These startups just wouldn’t exist at all then.

They start up with the intention of being bought out by a bigger fish.

Oh I bet it was and they’ll just ignore the great famine as being some natural thing that just happened and wasn’t due to the policies of the CCP.

That’s how everyone I’ve met that has talked about the CCP raising people from poverty have posed it.

The Great Leap Forward. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward

It was a massive effort to industrialize China under Mao, and resulted in the largest famine in human history with tens of millions dead.

They haven’t said this though. This is a leak from someone else that may or may not be true.

Making a ton of money doesn’t preclude someone from being a socialist.

He was still an employee of the team owner and brought in more money for the capitalist than he was paid in return.

Even in a socialist society where the means of production are worker owned, there can be sectors that are more valuable than others. The difference would be that the workers are receiving their full value rather than being paid a wage and the excess value going to the pockets of a capitalist owner that isn’t producing value.

But no, Dale was definitely not a communist or socialist at all. He was a pretty staunch Republican.

Which applies to making parts, tools, and documentation available to independent repair shops and end consumers.

Nothing about requiring long term support.

lol yeah we’ll see. They only offer 3 for the 7 pro and Fold.

Sometimes they do. You have two major commentators for sports.

Analysts, which do break down plays, but usually during breaks and halftime/intermissions because analysis takes longer and is HARD to do in real time.

Then you have color commentators who call the game live and are really there to fill the dead air and bring excitement to the broadcast. Their job is not to do analysis, it’s to call the game in real time and bring excitement to it.

In regards to Jomboy, his videos are great and in depth, but it takes a few days after something happens for him to get that video out. In depth analysis like that is not something you can do in real time.

If you want analysis there’s a ton of it out there. Just not in real time.

No it’s for people. Guinea pigs are raised for food in Peru.

Or require ID to pick it up….

Or just spend the $500 on an escort if you’re that desperate. You can get a pretty classy gal for $500.

Name one thing they have copied and said it had never been done before.

They always say “new to iPhone” or “for the first time in an iPhone”.

The final public beta and the release version are exactly the same build.

Every developer develops for the newest devices first and foremost. Across the board.

There is nothing intrinsic about a smaller manufacturing process that transfers into software, unless they’ve secretly added new instructions to the set. What it does mean is that the new chips should be more power efficient, which means in turn that the same software on new hardware should already translate into battery life gains.

Orrrrr what it means is that the software can take advantage of the more efficient hardware and push harder while maintaining similar battery life. Which is what most manufacturers typically do.

What we see instead is software “tuned” for the new version to minimize gains on one side and suggest to existing customers that they need an upgrade.

Welcome to every piece of technology ever made. If you want the latest and greatest software performance, you need to buy the latest and greatest hardware.

Being less optimized doesn't mean you need to upgrade. You may need to charge a little more often but that's the trade off for running new software on older hardware. You can still run the latest software and don't need to upgrade.

Apple supports iPhones for a minimum of 6-7 years. The iPhone XR from 2018 is supported for iOS 17, 6 years and 6 major OS updates. It will keep getting iOS patches until they stop doing OS updates on iOS 17 sometime late next year. They support security updates for even longer. They just released a security update for the iPhone 5s, released in 2013, in January this year. Almost 10 years later.

Forced obsolescence is MUCH more common with Android phones. An $1800 Pixel Fold released in June this year, 2023, is only going to get Android updates until June 2026. 3 years for a nearly $2000 device. You will HAVE to buy a new phone if you want new software after that. Which is absolutely ridiculous for Google, who develop Android ffs. An iPhone 12 Pro Max from 2020 will be supported longer than that.

A Galaxy fold, another nearly $2000 device, will only be supported for 4 years before you will HAVE to buy a new phone to get a new version of Android.

Most other Android phone makers, especially the budget ones, only give 1-2 years of support, if that.

And again, OP's case is anecdotal. I have a base iPhone 12 from the same year, and have been running the iOS 17 betas since the first public one and have seen no drops in battery life. The first beta had a little worse battery life but the following ones fixed it a bit. The last public beta from a little while back is the exact same as the release version. You don't even get a separate update for the release version if you are still on the beta profile, and if you want to leave the beta once you are on the RC, you just turn off beta updates and you will only get the release versions from then on. If OP is suddenly seeing a huge battery life difference, it isn't the version they are on because they have been on it longer than they have been seeing the issue. There are things they could look at, which others in the thread have given, and they could look at their battery health. That's a 3 year old battery and it may just need a replacement depending on how hard they have driven it over the last 3 years. Batteries are consumable parts and need replaced.

They copy each other all the time. The idea that apple always copies android is just an Android fan boy idea.
