Gruber om Apple och VPN
Apple har tvingats att plocka bort närmare 60 VPN-appar från den kinesiska delen av App Store sedan den kinesiska regimen förbjudit användande av VPN.
Apples beslut har fått kritik och det har sagts att Apple böjer sig för den kinesiska regimen.
First, lets dispose of the notion that Apple could have chosen to defy the Chinese government and keep the VPN apps in the App Store. Technically, Apple could have done that. But if they had, there would have been consequences. My guess is that the Chinese government would move to block all access to the App Store in China, or even block access to all Apple servers, period. This would effectively render all iOS devices mostly useless.

Spotify Hits 60 Million Paid Subscribers Ahead of Going Public – Mac Rumors
As it prepares to go public, Spotify has reached 60 million paid subscribers, reports TechCrunch. The 60 million mark comes nearly five months after the company announced its 50 million paid subscriber milestone in March. When adding in customers who listen to the free ad-supported tier, Spotify has more than 140 million subscribers worldwide. Comparatively, Apple Music now boasts 27 million paying subscribers, a number Apple shared at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
Since its 2015 debut, Apple Music has been growing steadily by luring customers with exclusive album releases, concerts, and original television programming, but it does not offer a free tier like Spotify. Apple Music subscriptions start at $9.99 per month after a three-month free trial.

Fd Google-chef: Skaffa en iPhone om du vill ta bra bilder
Vic Gundotra var tidigare chef och ansvarig för Android inom Google. Han var ansvarig för utvecklingen av Android och i ett inlägg på Facebook så bekräftar han problemen med Android och hans råd är – löp en iPhone om du vill ta bra bilder.
Enligt Vic Gundotra så ligger Android flera år efter Apple och iPhone när det handlar om kameran och bra bilder.
Here is the problem: It’s Android. Android is an open source (mostly) operating system that has to be neutral to all parties. This sounds good until you get into the details. Ever wonder why a Samsung phone has a confused and bewildering array of photo options? Should I use the Samsung Camera? Or the Android Camera? Samsung gallery or Google Photos?
Gundotra skriver att om en av tillverkarna vill få in stöd för viss hårdvara i Android så kommer det att ta flera år. Det betyder att Android halkat efter och ligger efter, inte minst på kamerasidan.
Bottom line: If you truly care about great photography, you own an iPhone. If you don’t mind being a few years behind, buy an Android.
