From my experience even the cheaper lighting cables are like $5 from retailers so still 4x more for a slower cable. In truth lighting cables cost similar to make as USB cables. Apple created the MFI-Certifed standard out of profit protection and spin it to be a consumer protection standard.

The live activities for the tv app specifically were taken out for some reason during the 16.1 beta and didn’t come back. They are working currently in the 16.2 beta. For now, I would recommend the sports alerts app as someone already suggested. The live activities in that app work wonderfully!

Here's a $20 USD USB-C to USB-C charging cable from Google: https://store.google.com/us/product/usb_type_c_usb_type_c?hl=en-US

Companies like Apple, Samsung and Google will always sell overpriced accessories. Accessories make up a big chunk of net sales.

Also, there are ways to get much cheaper Lightning cables.

People, in general, take being critical as someone who hates a thing or is against them. It seems to be a worldly phenomenon not related to any specific country. It's just Reddit it's much easier to see it in action.

You can read a chart many ways but what you're communicating may not be relevant to the discussion.

It depends on what you're planning on applying that information with. If you're looking to invest money - then the article's point of view is considerably more important than who is, overall, at the time.

If you bothered to read the article you'd see your point was mentioned:

> Samsung defended its first place in the market despite an 8% decline

However if the context is iOS versus Android then it's very clear Android is absolutely wrecking iOS. In this case there are many things one can infer from this. So, for example, is you were writing software and wanted to reach as many people as possible - Android is a very clear winner.

However if IAP's and income are your point then it's more likely iOS is your preferred path due to more frivolous spending (not indicated in the chart or app).

However, unrelated to much else, this line should be telling:

> The popularity of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, in particular, will contribute to a higher ASP and stable revenue for Apple.

I view this as a knock on Apple implying the iPhone 14 was a dud. Personally, and I have nothing to back this up, I suspect the normal folks are waiting for USB-C next year to upgrade as well as the fact that the iPhone 14 isn't a large upgrade over even the 11. I think that's what held back the regular version. The Pro's and up usually have significantly more expendable income.

But it seems most people all over only care about "winning" or "the other guy losing". It's quite disheartening to see such communities so insecure.

Thats the part that I dont understand. I block the devise remotely but the devise was already on airplane mode or something. So the block of the devise didnt work, few hours later of trying to erased the devise from my pc, an email show up telling me that the password change has been successful (I changed every email password and close all devices session before that), and I lost the connection from my pc. And now I am lost and upset.
