    ******tification of the Apple Ecosystem (Music, TV/Film, Apps)

    /rambling_rant The incredible and astute Cory Doctorow coined the word enshtiffication (******tification: The 2023 Digital Word of the Year), mostly to describe how online communities would be destroyed by predatory business models (e.g. MySpace, Twitter).

    iOS Search Ads vs Fake reviews - Fake reviews win!

    With 8,000,000,000 downloads you would think that by now Apple would have fixed issues such as broken search and fake reviews. Some instances are breath taking from a developer's point of view. Example. If I search for "Chess" I get "Chess-Chess With Friends" at No2 that has 1000s of fake...

    Universal AppStore DMCA Takedown Requests Ignored?

    I've filed a complaint with Apple regarding an app which contains my Intellectual Property (IP) without a license. It's been more than sixty (60) days, and Apple has so far refused to remove the app from their store. Has anyone else filed an IP complaint with Apple? Was it successful?

    App Store, Shared Purchases Gone?

    Does anybody know how to access shared purchases on iOS 11? You used to be able to go with under updates and see other people in your family plans purchases, but that's no longer the case from what I am seeing. Any ideas?

    iPhone Are AppStore downloads on iOS devices hanging for anyone else?

    Just saw it today on iOS 9. Internet is working fine everywhere else but the wheel just keeps rotating. Either it's fixed on their side or that last reboot fixed it. What the hell that was draining my battery badly.
