Very likely they might use some common frameworks that are shared between macOS, iOS, and watchOS to design (e.g. SwiftUI) and writing the whole stack for non-Apple platforms simply wouldn't make sense.

Thought it will bring "desiging for foldables" onto the table which would benefit Android foldables too.

It looks cool but I wasn't able to get any audio when I started playing.

iOS 26.4.2, Safari, sound is on.

How would this play with mobile apps?

I'd love to see an agent doing work, then launching app on iOS sim or Android emu to visually "use" the app to inspect whether things work as expected or not.

The AirDrop randomly not working one is really manifesting at the most inconvenient times.

Apple simply won't fix it.

Let me have a look. Do you think the material is of good quality and healthy (no weird questionable materials for wearing/skin contact for long time with sweat etc)?

Cushions (yeah replacable but not super cheap), the cable that connects one earpiece to other, the bit connecting the earpieces, the hinges around the earpieces.

Literally everything. The sound is still great and battery is awesome. But I doubt it will last long.

(Just to be clear: I've used it A LOT over the years, and is already worth every penny I spent on it)

Just curious, which Sennheisers did you give up on in favor of APP3?

I have over-the-ear Momentum 3 and love it, but if APP3 provides better sound quality and better ANC I might consider switching as Momentum 3, while I love it, is bulky, heavy, and started to wear off and break down.

All those modular smartphones, and also Amazon's Fire phone.

Why? Obviously close-to-zero market. It was unbelievable how those people though those projects would even succeed.

It's just an extra measure, not protecting the server from a malicious user, but an honest user's potential mismanagement of credentials.

Banning anything is never the solution.

Don't want to use social media? Don't use it. No one can decide for others.

There might be some sensitive applications where server might want to immediately revoke credentials server-side though.

Great. Let's not slow down CPUs coupled with aging batteries and instead have a full system crash suddenly at the most demanding moment. Sure that would be much better.

I'd love to know how many people use VPNs because of "fear of being hacked" (hack covering everything non tech-savvy here).

Almost everyone I know use VPNs only to bypass restrictions, not for fear or privacy.

I don't think forcing a company to open source their IP is a good move, but perhaps there might be some encouragement implemented for opening up their bootloader so the device is more hackable.

But forcing is never a right thing.

Actually I didn't mean anything that contradicts your comment. I do agree with what you are saying.

I don't think we should be expecting moral values from any company over a certain size, be it Apple, Google, or anything else. They "care" about privacy as long as they profit from it directly as device/service sales or indirectly with brand value/trust/PR.

1. Not endorsement, but at least a recognition of some sort that Apple recognized the dev and the app and allowed them to publish this app (regardless of which store).

2. AFAIK Apple isn't doing anything illegal by pulling out this app. Malicious compliance? Perhaps. Illegal? Nope. If Apple doesn't do this, then it would indeed attract legal issues due to the first point.

If an OS needs antivirus for this, that OS has been designed wrong (excluding Linux, FreeBSD etc as the target audience isn't regular end users) in the first place.

An OS should NOT need antivirus, it needs proper sandbox and containerization.
