Yes, it's 2TB per user AFAIK.


Unless something has recently changed, Apple One gives you either 200GB or 2TB to share in a family group. It’s not per user. Each user can purchase an iCloud+ plan on top of the shared iCloud storage included in Apple One.


...what? Why are you spreading baseless FUD?


IIRC, they also took these popular usernames (since they were already claimed) without the owners' permission.


I'd imagine/hope that it's also supported on the previous generation, just that they'd rather advertise its usage on the new one.

Edit: per the bottom of the page...

> Apple Music Sing will be available on all compatible iPhone and iPad models as well as the new Apple TV 4K.

:/ maybe they do ML to process stuff on-device, per other comments' speculation, that justifies requiring the newer model?


iPhone 8 that is the oldest supported for iOS 16 has an A11 chip; the second gen 4K has A12. The first gen 4K has an A10X chip - maybe it needs the "Neural Engine" that first appeared in A11 but the 2nd gen does have it.

In addition, the Apple TV is plugged in, it doesn't have to limit its power for battery reasons.


(What was the previous link on the submission, out of curiosity?)


> Users can't set a default browser on iOS.

Yes they can, starting with iOS 14: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211336


That’s just the app itself, not the actual browser engine - under the hood it’s still WebKit (what Safari uses) and not Chrome or any other browser engine: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit#Use

iOS doesn’t allow anything other than WebKit webviews described above. Android does support others, but that’s a different story.


That's not what the question/context was -- it was specifically talking about which app (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Firefox, whatever) is used to open links from apps.

No clue why I was downvoted for saying that, which was a perfectly valid answer in that context.


I don't see how software security relates to being able to repair hardware -- third party logic boards would most likely... not exist, for example.


I agree but Apple does not. If Right to Repair gets, as I say; “everything that it could in the interests of the public”, it would mean that software would not be able to restrict hardware.

No vendor-controlled unique IDs that need to be whitelisted in order to connect between chips or boards, no intrusive warnings about 3rd party parts that are installed, no undocumented protocols for basic functionality, and so-on.

And if they say they have to because of security that claim would be heavily scrutinized.

Way back in the day Microsoft tied IE in to Windows and leveraged it’s OS dominance to try to win the browser wars. Browsers, like hardware, are based on vendor-agnostic technologies and so MS felt it had to play dirty since there was no way for them to win a war where browsers are commodities. Back then the government stepped in as they recognized the fact that browsers are commodities and that paved the way for the majority of the web standards we rely on today.

Who knows what sort of fragmented web we would have if MS had been allowed to lock users in with their proprietary “improvements”. We may be at the same crossroads here with Right to Repair.


> Patreon is where the users are. I've evaluated other platforms, but at that point I'm probably going to come up with my own thing on top of Stripe if Patreon falls over. I'm kinda low on ideas on how to make such a migration palatable otherwise.

What about LiberaPay?


Please reread this sentence:

> Patreon is where the users are.

Moving my stuff would make for an incomplete migration. I don't want to deal with that.


Sure, it's a lot of assumption, but the type system would prevent an invalid assumption from compiling (arrays are typed [T; N] where T is the type they hold and N is the number of elements), and you can always override it with a turbofish.


> You cannot pay for other projects. We considered it but decided not to add this.

Out of curiosity, why's that?
