Developers value being respected and trusted by a platform more than the money it pays them.Their words

The pursuit of financial success above all else inevitably leads to ruin.

From one piece The iMessage Halo Effect 3 beliefs, in the piece's order there
-

Apple has already missed its best opportunity to establish iMessage as the industry-standard messaging service.Their words
Apple has almost certainly missed the most advantageous window of time to make iMessage "the industry standard" messaging service.

if iMessage is better than its competitors at all-and this is highly debatable-it is only marginally so.
-
Their words
The iMessage service is not so good that it makes the iPhone more attractive to customers. It's the iPhone that makes iMessage attractive. The iPhone gives iMessage its cachet, not the other way around.

The Vision Pro's look-then-gesture interaction is less direct than a touchscreen's literal touch interaction.Their words

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
