If the article is accurate and Apple is trying to secure IP rights over, "images of apples," surely no sane judge would rule in favour of such a wide ranging and foolish claim. I'm sure there are plenty of businesses who will be able to claim prior art over a picture of a damn apple.
Incidentally I'm trademarking the sun and then going after the entire country of Japan. I hope you aren't too attached to that flag.
A few years ago I tried to register a domain name which included the word "purple". I was told I couldn't because HP had trademarked the word "purple" so it was off the list of registerable words. I pointed out that my domain was in no way related to their purple laptops and I was told tough, no-one could for any reason register any domain which included the word "purple" because HP now owned the dictionary word "purple".
Bullshit. They just don’t want to deal with the lawsuit even though HP would be 100% in the wrong. But we don’t have a justice system, just a legal system. If you got enough money you can make nearly anything the law.
Just to be clear, Apple isn't asking the Swiss apple growers to change their logo. And it definitely isn't forcing them.
I assmue some journalist saw Apple making a very boring Swiss trademark application and decided to call up a local company with an apple in its logo to see what they thought about it. There's zero chance the company will have to re-brand.
The US apple industry uses an apple logo without any problem: https://usapple.org/

If it’s that Beeper then it’s not just about imessage, but facebook messenger, whatsapp, instagram, telegram, viber and a few others too. Beeper supports all that, by using Matrix bridges.
Interesting. I just checked and found the information. It sounds like they want to rebuild the whole app and just add one service at a time. They are starting with just iMessage.
Edit: I wonder how long this will last. They aren’t using a Mac to log you into your iCloud account with this. They have found a workaround.
“This is now possible because the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher.”
Edit 2: I’m really curious about this. The researcher has some Python that can run anywhere and let you send iMessages. It seems like something the Apple would shutdown, but, on the other hand, I wouldn’t expect Beeper to introduce an app that might get disabled.
Its a new version they called Mini because it only supports iMessage natively. There is a research who reverse engineered how iMessage works that’s how they manage to make it work without an Apple account and just your phone number.
Since my first OLED (Galaxy s6) I’ll never buy a phone without OLED ever again. It’s a huge difference when reading stuff in OLED mode apps and at night. I’d never trade that for anything.
I don’t think it’s an issue with phones, as TVs and monitor have static elements for half a day or longer, phones tend to be one for minutes, maybe a few hours max.
My phone doesn’t even have a hint of a burn-in after 3 years of heavy usage (Galaxy S10). I use it way more than most people, often 8 hours a day.
They're also apparently adding markdown which is neat, but considering all the recent Google news of them trying to lock down the web, I'd rather they focus on adding an RCS API so other apps can exist...
Hell yeah, I really was wishing for a phone with the speed of iPhone, because I sure as hell will never support Apple. Just another less thing iPhones have going for them.
