    @nzzp i think you've just shot down your own argument

    you dont use Apple by choice, monopoly regulations are about giving people choice, when there are only two airlines and they want to merge...that creates a monopoly...

    not really. Note it's antitrust, not monopoly. I skimmed over the article - their argument was that Apple fees (at 30%) were very high, and didn't have competition.

    Look, I don't have a dog in this fight, but I can see why regulators are interested. They make money hand over fist (which is good for them), but don't tolerate dissent. I suppose it's kind of like facebook - you have the choice to use it (I don't), and they have the right to control what goes on there... until they get to some size where the regulators get interested as they have so much influence.

    Most of the people I know over 30 have iPhones and don't play Fortnite so will it have that much of an effect on Apple's bottom line? TBH, the youngins I know who have Android don't play Fortnite either (they're mostly girls).

    I see Google have banned Epic games from their store as well. Were their fees also high as well?

    @Nepia feel like you're in the wrong business? 30% is awesome

    this thread will do...

    MIss 12 has dropped her iPhone, and when she clicks on the screen to unlock it, the pressure from the break enters random numbers and she keeps getting locked out.

    She wants to get her pics from it to transfer back to her old phone, any thoughts on how to do this if I cant unlock it to gain access on the Laptop?

    She doesn’t have an appleID? Photos in iCloud?
    Other than that you’ll need to fork out for a screen replacement

    Just thought of something that might be worth a try depending on how cracked the screen is.
    Power off then stick a suction cup on the screen. Power up and lift the cup to take pressure off.
    Might be worth a crack.
    The other option is to tell her tough shit, you should have been more careful. 😉

    @Tim Yep, I'll have one of them I imagine. Mrs JC has one of the 13" Pro machines with the ARM silicon and it compares well to my i9 MBP, so I'm looking forward to how the new ones perform.

    That new Apple M1 Max chipset has almost as much memory bandwidth as an Nvidia RTX 3070!

    I'm loving the tech that extracts text from photos. Being able to call a number on the photo of a business card is great.
