That problem might be considered a software problem, not a hardware or physical problem. The instant pausing of the music is the real problem. Software developers probably don't move around as much as you do, and I'd bet if they did, this problem would be fixed quickly with a simple timeout setting or something.

That's nonsense. There's plenty of people that want those APIs that don't work at Google. And it does not give Google "unmediated access" - you have to explicitly opt-in to allow the browser to use them when a website requests access to these APIs. But of course, don't let the facts get in the way of your fanboyism for Apple.

Same here, except I took it further and was calling out of state BBSs to download the latest warez. First phone bill after getting the modem was $250, in around 1984 (or about $800 in 2026). Parents were pissed. That's when I learned about phone phreaking.

Your disagreement only remains valid because of Apple using their blocking power to quash web APIs from becoming standards. You can shill all you want for Apple, but they are being sued by the DOJ for abusive business tactics, which include leveraging their vote in the W3C to prevent web browsers on their platform from being as capable as native apps.

I have to wonder if Apple will allow any of this to move forward in the W3C standards committee since they've been blocking many things that would make web browsers as capable as native apps.

Apple perceives web-based applications as chipping away at their app store (which makes them money), and so they cripple their Safari browser and then force all mobile browsers on iOS to use their browser engine, no exceptions, so that developers are forced to make a native app where Apple can then charge the developers (and thus the users) for a cut of any sales made through the app.

It's one reason the DOJ started suing Apple, but I fear that may have been sidelined due to politics.
