The iOS 10 Thread/Discussion

I paid money for both s40 and s60 apps! Where do I demand my refunds????
From whom? s40 nor s60 did not collect your money. There is also a 'small' difference. You could download apps from other sources than s4 or s60. Apple force you to use Appstore, so liability is entirely up on Apple.

Ovi Store which became Nokia Store ran on the same principles as the App Store or Play Store.

You really are a strange individual, has anyone told you that before?

Not sure, if true, they are legally liable. Just find who, you will have your money back.
 
It doesn't seem true. At times you need reset phone and re-download apps. 50+ thousands removed apps, it can hurt.

Just because 32 bit apps are going to be removed from the store it doesn't mean you won't be able to reinstall them, it means going forward they won't be available to purchase.

Afaik nothing older than the 5s is going to be able to run iOS 11 so that leaves a lot of older devices still in everyday use.

According to this post it is not quite true. I was hoping to be a hoax, but now it becomes clear:
Any previously installed 32-bit apps are no longer available for re-download through the App Store’s Purchased tab.

I don't see any indication that it pertains to anyone other than iOS 11 users.

Irrespective, the user has the facility to back up all apps via iTunes to retain local copies. They aren’t preventing the use of those apps to anyone who wants to use 7 year old phones (like a user here).
 
I think Apple will be facing class action soon for removing apps. It is a black collar crime.

You should go read the terms you agree to when signing up as a dev planning to release apps on the Apple store.

You didn't read my posts. I reminded you couple times, my posts have nothing to do to with developers. It is about riping off customers who duly paid for apps directly to the Apple.

Most of users I know do not use iTunes. They are not obligued to do so. And now they are taken by surprise. As Apple has disabled possibility of installng third-party apps and collect money for purchases, Apple is responsible to correct this situation. Failing to do so, they are liable for damages (not only for paying money back).

Secondly, you evidently didn't read my posts. Assuming user has a backup of all apps and have to reinstall iTunes, all local purchases must be re-authorised with Appstore. Apps which had been removed from Appstore cannot be re-authorised.

I’m not so sure on your second point being correct, I’m pretty sure I’ve re-installed an app (the original Cinemabox app that was pulled) that was removed from the AppStore, I’ll try again in the next couple of days and report back.

On your first point, if they’re too stupid or intransigent to use iTunes they can’t expect any sympathy, it’s not difficult to do a full backup.

Not sure what you mean:
- If reinstalled from current iTunes installation, the purchases are already authorised, yes it will work.

- If added a file from backup to the iTunes library, then not sure.

-If iTunes is corrupt, uninstalled, the reinstalled or installed on a different PC, the computer and all purchases must be authorised with Store. The last time it was working that way using the latest XP compatible version. If a new version works different pls let me know.

As for the backup, you noticed that local iTunes backup is being depreciated. When you reset device and restore from full iTunes backup, it will re-download apps automatically from the cloud. Now is the question whether pulled out purchases can be restored from the cloud, It has to be tested, I don't know.

Your suggestion becomes even more picky now. Starting from iOS9 you can't transfer purchases from your device to iTunes anymore. You would need to download using iTunes first. It rarely takes place, in most cases you will download over wifi hotspots directly to the device. In result if you want to keep it (for backup), you would have to download twice.

Tested. Lots of potential. Very smart. Nice one MS!



Microsoft launches amazing AI-powered iPhone app that narrates the world to blind people [Video]


Arthur C Clarke once said that any sufficiently advanced technology was indistinguishable from magic, and Microsoft’s Seeing AI app gets pretty close to qualifying. It’s an app designed to ‘narrate the world’ to people who are blind or visually impaired, and the video demo (below) shows off some incredibly impressive capabilities.

It can, for example, recognize friends, guess the emotions of people from their facial expressions, read text, identify bank notes, identify products from their bar-codes, and even recognize images in apps like Twitter …

Turns the visual world into an audible experience. With this intelligent camera app, just hold up your phone and hear information about the world around you.

Recognize friends and their facial expressions. Recognize and locate the faces of people you’re with, as well as facial characteristics, approximate age, emotion, and more.

Read text quickly. Hear short amounts of text instantly and get audio guidance to capture full documents.

While instant optical character reading is nothing new, the app goes further. For example, if you point the camera at a document, it will help you align the camera by telling you any parts of it that aren’t in view.

The free app, which is currently iOS-only, is a free download from the App Store. It’s currently available in the U.S., Canada, India, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore, but Microsoft says it is coming soon to other countries.

Check out the video below for an overview of its capabilities. Truly inspiring use of technology.

Apple launches iOS 10.3.3 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Apple today released the mostly bug-fix iOS 10.3.3 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The software update is available through iTunes and over the air via the Software Update mechanism in Settings → General → Software Update on your iOS device.

To apply it via iTunes, connect your device to a computer via a USB cable, launch iTunes, select your device in the list, click the Summary tab, then click the Check for Update button.

Apple’s support document outlines the bug fixes and security patches in iOS 10.3.3. The iOS 10.3.3 firmware files will be available shortly via iDownloadBlog’s Download page.

Some of the fixes in iOS 10.3.3 are mentioned in Andrew’s walkthrough video of the first beta.

The company had been testing iOS 10.3.3 since May 16 of this year, following the public release of the iOS 10.3.2 update the previous day.

iOS 10.3.3 should be the last minor update to iOS 10 as Apple continues to test beta versions of the major iOS 11 software update ahead of its public release in the fall.
