    Hi badgolferman,

    Adults have the capacity to see the difference between what Apple says,
    and what Apple actually does (which they explain only after being caught).

    Did you _look_ yet at what the reason was that Apple explained _after_ they
    got caught lying about _why_ they are removing some apps but not others?

    HINT: Apple's removal has _nothing_ to do with the aps not being updated.
    1. Apple lied.
    2. Apple got caught in that lie.
    3. Apple followed up with the truth.

    Hi badgolferman,

    From one actual adult to another...

    In the case of Apple, that statement above was proven to be bullshit.
    The iKooks don't have the mental capacity to understand why.

    But normal adults should have the ability to comprehend the details.

    The fact is Apple's removal had (almost) _nothing_ whatsoever to do with "abandoned apps", per se.

    Apple never tells the truth - but in this case - they were force to admit
    it in a followup to what Apple _tried_ to lie about was their rationale.

    The truth, as always with Apple sleazebags, is in what Apple actually did,
    not in what Apple _says_ they would have done - but which they didn't do.

    I already posted on the gory details, so I'm just cluing you in.

    Steve is correct that Apple got caught in their lies that the iKooks like nospam don't have the mental acuity that Steve has, to figure that out.

    1. Apple boldly lied about _why_ they're removing apps in 30 days.
    2. Apple got _caught_ (as usual) making bold likes about their actions.
    3. Apple _corrected_ their public statements to provide the _real_ reason. And... Apple gave developers a three times longer grace period as a result.

    What's shocking is the iKooks are _completely_ unaware of what Steve knows.

    Even well _after_ all this news broke weeks ago (I and covered it in
    detail) which shows, as usual, more evidence of the low IQ of all iKooks.

    In addition, as Steve astutely noted, with Android, _any_ app that you've already installed can be _extracted_ back to the original APK, even if it
    is no longer in the default Google Play Store app repo, most of which
    (if they're free apps) work on almost _every_ Android device on the planet.

    None of that modern capability is available on the crippled iOS platform.

    The adults will notice the brazen fabrications of imaginary iOS
    functionality the iKooks _always_ rather unhelpfully claim.

    Why do iKooks always fabricate imaginary functionality for iOS?
    I don't know why.

    I suspect their self esteem is (rightly so) in the toilet, where any and
    all facts about the lack of functionality of iOS is an ego blow to iKooks.

    Note that I'm well aware of the _purely temporary_ ability of
    non-jailbroken iOS to obtain apps for a very short period of time.

    The problem isn't that the iKooks have no education and a low IQ, but more
    that iKooks' self esteem is dependent upon imaginary iOS functionality.

    And what are they?

    Five ways that I know of.
    None of these are the same as just side-loading an apk onto an Android device, either from the app developer or from an app store other than
    the Google Play store.

    Steve, again, is correct & purposefully helpful, unlike the ikooks who
    clearly are alluding to fabricated iOS functionality that doesn't exist.

    An _adult_ observation is that the iKooks' response to this tremendous flaw
    in iOS is to be repeately extremely unhelpul by alluding to imaginary iOS functionality that never exists, as Steve cleary elucidated in his post.

    BTW, the question is _why_ are iKooks always such despicable people?
    It's not a fatal blow to their ego that Apple lied to them, is it?

    I've been wondering how this will affect NewsTap.

    iKooks only know the lies telling iKooks only what Apple _says_ they do.

    If people are _downloading_ NewsTap off the Apple App Store, then it won't affect NewsTap apps in the least, according to the followup by Apple.

    *What ceases to be astounding is how _ignorant_ these iKooks always are.*

    Given the iKooks are completely unaware of what Apple is doing (which is clearly _not_ what Apple initially _said_ it was doing!), it's always the
    same that iKooks believe every word Apple says, even _after_ Apple openly admitted they lied (but only _after_ Apple got caught in the public lie).

    *Nobody lies, like Apple lies.*

    The iKooks are always completely oblivious of what Apple actually does.

    I really wish you wouldn't reply to Alan Baker who is not only just about
    the only other person than Snit I've had to plonk, but who complains about everything just so that he can complain.

    It's kind of funny that he's complaining that I gave references because he
    is well known to claim that references don't even exist when they do, and
    when you give him the references time and time and time again, he, like you nospam, denies everything in them _without_ even clicking on them.

    It's how a person like you is able to maintain your imaginary belief
    system, which, in this case, Apple isn't even claiming what you claim.

    Apple at first claimed it was about old non updated apps, but when
    developers pointed out apps which were clearly even older and they weren't affected, Apple fessed up and said it's not really about old apps after
    all.

    We discussed this, and you ignorant iKooks _still_ didn't comprehend it.
