    Other Carrier Pricing vs Apple Pricing for Yearly Upgrades. What is the Math long term?

    So in 2021 the carriers gave customers $1000 or so off of an iPhone Pro. It is in monthly installments so about half of the iPhones are paid for by the time a new iPhone comes out.

    When does Apple replace iPhone batteries for free?

    On Apple’s website, it says “If your iPhone is covered by warranty, AppleCare+, or consumer law, we'll replace your battery at no charge.”. However, in their legal page, it says batteries are not covered under warranty. I have heard of people getting free replacements if the battery health is...

    Other iPhone 14 with 3.5 mm headphone jack and advanced support for high-impedance headphones

    It would be a good business decision for Apple to add a 3.5 mm headphone jack with advanced support for high-impedance headphones (like on new MacBooks) to the new iPhone. 1) Apple would make their product line cleaner by allowing to use the same set of headphones with MacBooks and iPhones...

    How Apple should implement sideloading (if they need to by legislation or otherwise do so by choice)

    This post is due as a response to recent developments of Apple possibly being forced to allow sideloading. Sideloading brings great choice for the user and by itself is a positive thing, but I understand all the privacy and security concerns around it. I've used Android for quite a while and...
