One of the major accusations was that they asked too much of Madison for a single person to accomplish, and fired her over not meeting their expectations. While this is not great, it’s not legally problematic.

It was marketed as $7 (I think), but it was never sold below $15 as far as I could find.

Also, since that price was without any profit margin, merchants only sold them in expensive bundles most of the time (with a case, SD card, etc).

Better marketing. It’s also easier to get a build pipeline for ARM than Xtensa and RISC-V.

The whole of Super Mario Bros is smaller than a single screenshot of the game.

I’m pretty sure it used to be easier with phones that didn’t have full disk encryption.

Patenting obvious solutions is done all the time and perfectly fine from a legal point of view.

That’s intentional. Apple knows they won’t win in the long run, so their strategy is to delay the change for as long as possible.

This is almost certainly not intentional. The AI just can’t differentiate between unsafe as in NSFW and unsafe as in manual memory management.
