Apple has announced that external distributors selling eBooks for the iPad and iPod/iPhone devices will now have to re-work their apps so the eBooks are sold through the Apple Store, and that 30% of sales go to Apple.
Introduced in iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1, NameDrop is a novel feature that facilitates the sharing of contact information between nearby iPhones and Apple Watches by holding them together.
WhatsApp introduces a breakthrough feature enabling iPhone users to share photos and videos in their original quality on the messaging platform.
According to a recent report, the iPhone 16 series might come with an additional hardware button.
Glad I don't buy eBooks on my iPod. I have a Nook for reading.. lol. Free content FTW!!
Hmm they may be trying to milk as much money from the system while Steve is gone LOLOL
This was always going to happen. I always found it strange that i could download a free kindle app from the app store and then purchase ebooks directly from the amazon website, when apple has it's own book store (that was more expensive and didn't contain anywhere near as many titles).
Look at something like the PS3. If developers want to sell content for that system they have to give Sony a cut. There's no such thing as a free lunch.....
I'm sure they allowed the kindle system to operate whilst they developed there own book store as one of the initial marketing uses for the iPad was the an ebook reader (amongst many other things). The apple book store took ages to launch in various regions due to licensing and copyright issues.
hmmm, good thing i despise apple and don't use any of their products
Screw apple.
