I was eager to read this review of Apple's home repair kit, but the emphasis is on how Apple sent too much, for too cheap, and that doing repairs yourself is rife with pitfalls. It's a lot of complaining for what sounds like an incredible offer from Apple. https://www.theverge.com/...

Hands-on with Apple's Self-Service Repair kit to swap iPhone batteries: users are rented 79 lbs of tools, including a heat station, for a 7-day $1,200 card hold

@nibroc @SethSandler It's also widely suspected, if not known, that Apple uses a huge variety of internal design and debugging tools that are not available to 3rd parties. I mean, it's fine, there's an argument in favor of that, but PLEASE don't pretend it's a level playing field.

@nibroc @SethSandler There are lots of workflows that 3rd party developers have to contend with that internal app developers presumably don't have to. I think it's a reasonable question to ask whether increased empathy, for everything from getting provisioning set up, to reporting bugs, would help.

As long as there is a void of an official app in the App Store(s), it's going to be irresistible to scammers to try to seize on the opportunity to steal the name.

Apple confirms it removed several Wordle clones from the App Store, after some app developers capitalized on the online guessing game's popularity

Apple Inc. removed several Wordle games from its App Store after users confused them with another word-play title popularized by Jimmy Fallon and other celebrities.

@zachshakked ... FWIW Zach I don't think you should lean so heavily on “isn't trademarked.” Trademark in the US is implicit and comes about by merely using a name. What you mean to say is it isn't a registered trademark. The fact you also so clearly imitated the look of Wordle made it glaring.

Now I'm wondering if @automattic bid for @Flickr, and if they didn't, if they regret it. Their approach seems increasingly to be “Organizing the world's independently published information”. I think this is a good calling to pursue. /cc @photomatt
