Certificates expire. What was Apple's nefarious motivation for having to re-issue hundreds of PKG installers?

The word is "nonsense" and these lawsuits certainly aren't nonsense.
Apple is deliberately crippling hardware through software. This is an act of damaging property. It's essentially the same as writing viruses, malware, ransomware etc. Secret software that's designed to do something that the user never expected or intended to encounter.

Seems like that is what this lawsuit will essentially be about.You have to prove that, not merely allege it. Proceed.

Did they? Can you point me to which paragraph that's in? I can't seem to make heads or tails of that. But I've been battling a head cold all day.
Anyway if they did that, what was the point of the bug that broke FT? The article makes it seem the bug was intentional. Gah, so confused now.
So basically by that logic if you buy a car and one day you come out and the built-in radio and navigation system stops working because the manufacturer decided to just disable it, it's all good and fine for you as the customer because the company is out to make money and can just disable things that you use because they feel like it?oh... my... holy.... crap... it's a COMPANY... COMPANIES EXIST TO MAKE MONEY. They can "break" whatever they want, whenever they want. This is just unbelievably pathetic...
Why don't you just READ the article?
"According to the lawsuit, Apple forced users to upgrade so it could avoid payments on a data deal with Akamai."
If this person took the time to read the Apple ALA when you agree to any software update, be it iOS 6 or onward, you will find Apple can change, alter and remove functionality as they feel. So if this person WAS running iOS 6, they have no case whatsoever. All companies do this, in essence, you don't own the OS of any company software, you merely hire it. Microsoft have won many law suits by merely pointing to the legal agreements users agreed to when they installed the OS. Time for people to grow up and move on. First world issues being brought before a court are laughable.
Constant "FaceTime reconnecting..." Every device, ever since the forced update to 7.What issue ever sense?
Cheers mate . Yeah I've switched it off, just disappointed that by design it's daily spam
That seems like something else (even though it's FaceTime related), as this is about FaceTime not working in iOS 6 and iOS 7 and later not having those issues.Constant "FaceTime reconnecting..." Every device, ever since the forced update to 7.
Yes, I'm constantly fumbling in the music app because they added so many long, input-blocking animations. Back when I used to jailbreak, the first thing I'd do is disable ALL animations. Made the experience so much better. Hmm, tempted to jailbreak now that the jailbreak is open-source again...Speaking of animations in iOS in more general terms:
Stop forcing me to wait for animations finishing till the very last petty frame until you accept touch input.
Another thing: many animations need to be sped up and the app switcher needs to snap into position faster.
You gently swipe to scroll through and personally: I fumble not to miss the app I need to interact with.
But again: most importantly: animations shouldn't block touch input ever.
No matter how long I use iOS I can never get used to the timing and it's a real hold-up.
Fixing this would improve my experience so much I'd be willing to say it'd be equivalent to a major version upgrade or more.
If I wasn't an iOS user already precisely that would be something that'd keep me from buying, but it's something that only over time you begin to realise how bad this is.

Ya, likely a different suit for my issue. Support pages flooded with the issue, and it started exactly at that update. Certainly related and caused by the repercussions of the virnetX suit against apple.That seems like something else (even though it's FaceTime related), as this is about FaceTime not working in iOS 6 and iOS 7 and later not having those issues.
Thanks for talking about off topic material such as encryption and MISSING THE ISSUE of Apple inserting code into iOS 6 designed to BREAK FACETIME. That's what the article is about. That's what the documents allege. People suspected it, now we have the evidence to back up the hunch.So you are telling me that improving encryption or switching to a better communications protocol is damage of property.
Face it, iOS 6 has been discontinued. Product updates are not required to be backwards compatible for such an old release.
Unless you have an iPad 1, you can upgrade all the way to at least iOS 9.
Agree. 6 was probably most stable. The snow leopard of iOS.I don't normally go for these sorts of things, but I'm still using iOS 6 and though I don't really care anymore, it pissed me off when FaceTime stopped working. I've used iPhones on various newer versions of iOS and always found iOS 6 better than anything newer for my uses, never having any of the myriad of issues everyone I know is always struggling with. Apple's never taking my beautiful, stable OS.

I still use that app (rather, v1.1.2 not 1.0.x, but it looks extremely similar). One of my favorite designs.Do you miss this?

Inserting code into software that kills features is completely damaging property. We call this viruses, malware, ransomware etc. CUSTOMERS bought iPhone iPad with iOS 6 because it has FaceTime. CUSTOMERS should expect what they bought should continue to work whether or not they upgrade. That's simple to understand.
Customers, paying customers, had the choice of staying on iOS 6 and have Apple kill one of the main features, FaceTime, or update to iOS 7 and have the update kill the usability of the device by slowing it down, causing jittery performance, app crashes and incompatibility etc.
Plain and simple, Apple effectively inserted a virus code into iOS 6 designed to kill FaceTime. It might not have affected you, but it affected millions of other users.
I'm shocked and disappointed with Apple. An interesting legal case to be following. I hope the judgement is extremely impactful so that this kind of thing doesn't occur ever again.
Even the beta releases were largely stable. I remember having tested throughout 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and 6, at least in terms of stability, was actually quite reliable.Agree. 6 was probably most stable. The snow leopard of iOS.
