Apple's capitulation to China's VPN crack-down will return to haunt it at home.
Yesterday Apple removed all major VPN apps from its App Store in the country. These VPNs aided internet users there to get around the government’s vast system of censorship and access uncensored sources of media. But by doing so, Apple has clearly decided to put its business before the interests of the population, opposition leaders and activists.

damn apple to hell for making it so difficult to switch back to android after using iPhone. I am not getting texts from iPhone users despite deactivating iMessage and logging out of my apple account.
fuck em.

- Apple services have always been a half-arsed shitshow. I use an iPhone but have all their cloud shit disabled.face_melter
- ^ ya, to say the least. seems like it should be the gold standard, so disappointing that it's notGnash
- Couldn't get my GF's contacts on her old iphone to move to her new iphone, ended up using her google account to transfer. Worked on the first try.zarkonite
- I missed out on a very hot date because of this. I assumed that she was ignoring me but found out months later she'd text me but I never received the imessage********

- Is this a real image? as in produced by Apple? Christ if so.fadein11
- they do something like this to the logo for every event, and for some reason everyone loses their shit over it, and it's meaninglessmonospaced
- LOL. You're right mono they do!Hayzilla
- I was talking about the typography and logo butting up to the border but I presume that wasn't part of the original image (hope)fadein11
- the strange fill isn't floating my boat either. But far form losing my shit, this is a design forum for discussing design no? Oh no it's not is it hahafadein11
- meaningless when it sucks, brilliant when it doesn't. said like a true fanboy (read stockholder)imbecile
- agree, the design of this banner is shitmonospaced
- Apple exec: "My 12yr old nephew came up with this one. Thoughs?" and the design committee goes wildchukkaphob
- I don't think that's how Apple worksmonospaced
- interns a chance in the spotlightbklyndroobeki
- Liquified gradient is making me gassyfuturefood
- J. Ive probably shat it out in an afternoon inbetween eating pies and designing the new Apple iCommode toilet.face_melter
- their invites always look like some intern slapped it together.inteliboy
- Probably has to do with the colors. Maybe they're new phone colors.fyoucher1
- yay - sign me up for the inky blue iPhone. I'd jump from Android like that if I could get an iPhone in ink blue :)fadein11

- leaked, riiiight.Hayoth
- As per, most of the features available on other devices for the past three years. WOOOOOOOOO!face_melter
- Isn't face recognition shit on other devices?monospaced
- that animation looks like shitBennn
- actually, the animation's ok, the face look like shitBennn
- Samsung has facial recognition for normal unlocking and iris scanning for Knox and higher security operations.face_melter
- Although both can be somewhat fooled with photos and trickery.face_melter
- I hear that's a feature, that the screens work only a percentage of the time and are easily tricked! Apple won't offer this feature though.monospaced

So they force Windows users to use Internet Explorer. Wow.
"Live streaming uses Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology. HLS requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Safari on iOS 9.0 or later, a Mac with Safari on macOS v10.11 or later, or a PC with Microsoft Edge on Windows 10."
- what's new?monospaced
- Edge is decent - it is very fast and lightweight - I use it while i'm rendering - Chrome is a pure fucking nightmare with resources.face_melter
- Although I won't watch Apple's pony show - i'll do something more productive, like wanking or counting my socks.face_melter
- 5 years ago we used to wank to apple keynotes :-(mekk
- and yes I agree that edge is a good browser. But I still prefer chrome because it syncs up well with google and is great for developingmekk
- as face suggests, wanking into socks is a great way to pass the time.detritus
- er.. sorry, Edge isn't a terrible browser, although I use Firefox. iSuch behaviour's just typical Apple/Google lock-in churlishness.detritus
- but why did they tie it to Edge? There is nothing edge can do that Chrome or FF couldn'tmekk
- maybe it's a Microsoft deal?monospaced
- Because Apple. This is the company that forced you to use Safari in years go by for their keynotes, don't forget.detritus
- Google is a direct competitor (to iPhone)monospaced
- It just shows how Apple has driven away from the cool companies. Not even supporting major browsers wtf. Thats some Yahoo lvl shitmekk
- I never remember keynote wanking, just whining.inteliboy
- Oh boy I remember the golden Times of iPhone 4 reveal, Unibody MacBook Pro reveal.. Dat Times.mekk
- @mekk, all those reveals were Safari and iOS only though, always weremonospaced
- Those characters from The Powerpuff Girls are ace.CyBrainX
- Making a stream in 2017 NOT available for certain browsers takes more effort than just making it accessiblemekk
- Linux people?!mugwart
- lol @ linux peole. But hey, lets use unix everywhere but fuck linux whenever we canmekk

BLACK RECTANGLE DAY!
- I love the iPhone. Always have. But almost 1k € for the new one? Go fuck yourselves, Apple. I'll stick with my 5s.Continuity
- Totally. The comparable Google pixel is only $869, which is basically free in comparison.monospaced
- ^ yes but the google pixel has alternatives. The iphone hasn't if you don't want a dated model.mekk
- hence "basically free in comparison" mekkmonospaced
- also ... do you really believe Apple will announce only 1 phone for this fiscal year and charge only $1000 with no other affordable options???monospaced
- Oh, of course there will be other models. Just all the cool shit people want will be on the one they can't afford.Continuity
- Yes, like no headphone jack, extra scratchy surface, no expandable memory, no home button, no fingerprint scanner.monospaced

Don't worry Watch, I'm just doing drugs.

Great, Now you can give your face id directly to the NSA
- does Apple give that information up?monospaced
- think they dont already have it?mugwart
- based on snowden's documents all companies give the information to the nsa...Salarrue
- I think they had that information long long ago, from basic social media use for the last couple of decades, but whatevsmonospaced

The dip at the top of the screen is annoying. I understand that the space is needed for all the lenses to watch your every move, but really, that dip makes the screen look unfinished and poor.
- Innovation always sleepsutopian
- I dislike the claim that it's an edge-to-edge display. Nope, there's a bezel.mg33
- Agreed, Samsung phones are a lot nicer in terms of the lack of bezel.yuekit
- Agreed. It's clearly NOT bezel-less...I don't understand how/why they could say it is.MondoMorphic
- they should have just kept the top bezel, right?monospaced
- FUGLY!utopian
- Yes, mono, it would look much better. This just looks silly, like two dept couldn't communicate w/ each other.formed
- prediction: iOS 11.1 - that part of the screen becomes permanently black.monNom
- I agree. It bugs me.dbloc
- The carriers will have to find a new place for their name.dbloc
- Someone pointed out that in the game demo they did part of the UI was covered by the black cutout.yuekit
- I'm going to create an app that makes the top part of the corners black at all times, so white info icons on black and make a million $$ off you OCDing mofos_niko
- ^I'd buy, no shame in public ocd'ing hereArchitectofFate
- fuck that, looks ridiculous.grotesk_neue
