Don’t forget the detail that the app just flat out didn’t work on iOS and the governments advice was to open the app, turn off auto screen locking and leave the app running, screen on in your pocket.
Shortly after, Android and iOS released a proper API for doing this which worked in the background but the government did not use it.
From what I have seen of American cars, this one is completely compliant. The horrible part about this car is that the signals are red and that they are the same light as the rear/brake lights. Which is apparently extremely common in the US.
I have never had a phone charger fail on me so if we assume that it lasts 3 phones and I buy them every 3 years, that comes out to about $1.66 per year for phone chargers.
It’s not a surprise no consumer cares. The average consumer would pay an extra $100 for their phone to get it in their favourite colour. The cost of chargers doesn’t even register.
My state of South Australia banned a lot of plastic last year. I don’t think even “ecoplastics” like PLA are allowed. It’s all cardboard, paper, bamboo, light wood or other odd things like sugar cane pulp.
The vast majority of the containers work just as well as the plastic ones did.
The charger probably costs about $1 to the BoM. I wouldn’t expect to see any change.
But this is not the biggest thing which is that the parts of the iPhone do not determine the price. The price is already set and determines what parts go in. If something somewhere else becomes cheaper, that’s more room in the budget to spend elsewhere whether that be better hardware, hiring more software developers, higher skilled retail workers, etc.
In the end it’s up to the user to decide if what’s in the box provides enough value to justify the price. And from the sales data of the last year, that’s an astounding yes.
I have never seen a lightning dock ever. Docks seemed to die after the 30 pin was discontinued. Every car I have seen now uses Bluetooth and has a usb A port for cables.
How much of this is just the millions of Wordpress or Nextcloud installations? I’d be more interested in knowing how many unique apps or developers work on each language because in my experience I haven’t actually seen a single php developer other than Wordpress tweakers.
Tbh some of these even look better in context. I’m not sure why it even matters that every text box is pixel perfect identical rather than suitable for the environment.
It’s not a second source, it becomes the only source as it turns off your phone notifications. It also leads in shorter distractions as you can quickly check if a message is important without pulling out and unlocking your phone.
It also does a billion “nice to have” things like card payments which work with your mask on, walking directions with convenient and easy to read arrows, and so much more.
It’s certainly not essential but I have worn mine every single day as it certainly provides value.
It doesn’t matter because it would average out because you will have queen fans who listen at a high amount as well. Unless for some reason an artist has a fan base which majority listen to less music than the average person for some reason.
