i understand no such thing as bad news/publicity, but if the 800lb gorilla squashes the little guy, then that's some pretty bad news. with the recent Twitt...er,X and reddit debacle with 3rd party apps, that 800lbs is pretty powerful when it wants to be

is it powerful? In both cases X and reddit, nothing meaningful happened.

Apple could block any device without attestation then offer a discount for those on old products to upgrade. Now bad news is good news.
