walled garden etc

B-b-but apple implemented it better! They improved the original idea... surely they did!

>>52368316
What are you talking about? Apple invented it. They should sue f.lux for stealing their idea.

>>52368215
>letting apple dictate what apps you're allowed to have on YOUR device
shiggydiggy

See you guys in 3 years when applefag will defend tooth and nail that Apple invented and popularized warmed up display.

>owning an Apple Device
>not having it jailbroken
Why even own one then.

>>52368369

Well fuck.

>>52368215
>not getting that f.lux violates the rules that are set for apple app store apps
>apple still wants to offer the functionality of it to the users
>f.lux doesn't lose any money on it since it wouldnt be allowed on the app store anyways
i dont see where the problem is?

>>52368215
at least the built in flux wont wake up your fucking phone ever 30 god damn minutes for the next 16 hours before you wake up

>>52368341
...which f.lux have a patent pending on, and can show bad faith due to the pulling of their sideload.

This might not go all that well for Apple.

Of course, it's a completely stupid thing to actually receive a patent on (palette modification over time?), and I don't think software should be subject to patent claims in any case: but Apple kind of do have it coming.

>tfw I used to have insomnia and f.lux literally saved my life

>>52368215
Why would they ban it? I used to use it on my old htc and it was alright.

>>52368215
Why does anyone care?

iTards already signed away their freedom, they knew that Apple moderated everything they do on their devices.

It's like going to prison and then not being allowed onto the internet while you are 'in'. They knew full well how the system operated, and whose interests they cared about most.

No surprise here OP, sadly most of /g/ don't remember our weren't here when apple stole an app store search algorithm or the wireless syncing app. They are young

f.lux is proprietary too. No sympathy from me.

Enjoy your gated community, Macfags.

I've been using flux for 6 years or so and now I can't go without it

I personally don't give a shit and will disable the option that fucks up my display colors. Here's a tip: Phone screen keeping you awake at night? Turn off the fucking display and go to sleep.

>>52368999
There's more than color temperature. You have to sync the app schedule with the geographic location and the day of the year.

>>52370609

which f.lux also does

>>52371359
have you ever used flux? all you do is enter a city and it changes the screen automatically.

Hopefully Google copies them soon.

>>52371390
>enter a city
>screen is now piss colour
top kek

>>52371419
>Hopefully Google copies them soon.
They will, badly.

>>52371359
They didn't make it simpler to use. It was already automatic.

All they did was
1) block it from the App store
2) block it from being side loaded manually
3) make their own version

Based Apple. Now it just werks, no extra install needed.

I remember one time I brought my iPhone to an Apple Store because the ear piece broke and the 'genius' freaked out because the screen was discolored. They replaced my phone outright, no questions asked, no charges or fees.

I had flux running in the background.

>tfw now normies won't ask me why my screen is red

T-thanks Apple.

>>52371538
It was using private APIs, which is against the rules. So they were distributing it as a binary blob outside of the app store. Obviously Apple did not appreciate this. They would have done the same for any app. Now these policies might be too restrictive for your tastes, but don't think that the reason they shut down F.lux was because they wanted to steal the feature.

They will probably implement this in the next version of OS X, too. It's called getting Sherlocked, and it can happen on any platform that you don't own yourself. Third party devs are always at the mercy of platform owners.

My shitty Chinkshit Redmi Note 2 with CM does this already.

>not using your display's native white point

are you all mentally fucking retarded children?
I swear to god, apple did you ass faggots a favor.

>>52372543

It changes the white balance of your device to a warmer color later at night so that the blue light from your display doesn't interfere with your sleeping patterns. Google it, retard.

>>52371675
Then how did it get through the review process you retard?

It didn't. It wasn't on the App Store. It was available for download from their website, to be sideloaded with Xcode.

>Yesterday we shared that the popular automatic screen brightness adjusting app Flux had found a way to make it from the Mac to iPhones and iPads on iOS 9. This afternoon the developers behind Flux announced that the app will no longer be available on iOS at the request of Apple. In a blog post sharing the development, the developers behind the app said that Apple contacted them to say that the app violated Apple’s Developer Program Agreement. While the app was unofficially supported on iOS 9 as a sideloaded app and not an official App Store app, Flux did use Xcode signing to work properly on iPhones and iPads.

>Flux on iPhones and iPads with iOS 9 was originally made possible due to limitations being lifted around Xcode, which is available for anyone to download from the Mac App Store. Flux no longer being available is the first major instance of signing apps with Xcode and sideloading them unofficially without the App Store going sour.

http://9to5mac.com/2015/11/12/flux-iphone-sideloading-shut-down/

What is it with 4chan and emboldening morons like yourself to use such strong language?

>>52372973
So Apple simply doesn't allow you to install whatever you want on your device.

Bravo Macfags. Biggest cucks in tech.

>allow people to sideload apps on their devices in iOS9
>still require apps follow the Developer Program Agreement to be sideloaded
So basically the feature exists ONLY for betas.

>>52368215
Pretty sure this this isn't the first... handful of times that Apple has "appropriated" other innovations.

>>52368215
They probably did it better. F.lux is just annoyingly orange

>>52373347
>he cant even find the options

>>52368933
Are you retarded?
The problem is that F.lux got treated unfairly. Apple isn't even offering a license deal. They're just ripping off the idea

>>52368215
I for one am grateful for Apple to have invented another great app le beneficial for our health instead of this niggardly phony imitation.

RIP Steve Jobs, founder of the modern desktop and mobile experience

>>52373421
If flux was denied access to the apple store for violating terms and users want it so bad they are willing to side load, then its a good move on apple to give the user what it wants. I don't see the issue with what apple did.

anybody got the screencap of the apple dev confirming this about 2 months ago?

>>52373486
or they could just let people fucking use their phones the way that they want to

>>52373515
the user wanted screen temperature control. it looks like the user still has temperature control.

>>52373556
the user wanted to install an application. apple shut that shit down.

>>52373665
wow
