I think they do respect the dot, they just don't care where it is? like firs.tlast will also deliver the email to first.last.

no they explicitly say the dot is optional. also a plus sign and anything after it is ignored so you can give email addresses like
john.doe+trump@gmail.com and then when you get penis pump spam sent to that address you'll know donald trump is selling his mailing lists to penis pump suppliers

interesting graph (this is for the US):



it seems the 5s does have a loyal contingent, which makes the possibility of a 4 inch phone in the near future much more possible

i mean either that or the people dumping their 5s for a newer phone are being replaced by people dumping their even older phones, which is certainly possible since they still sell the 5s on apple's website and at basically every carrier

either way, there's an extra 20 million iPhones in use that didn't exist a year and a half ago

the 5 didn't have the same pattern because it got upstaged by the 5S and replaced by the 5C instead of hanging around as the cheaper year-old phone

the 6 and 6+ are gonna be just like the 5s, everyone who already has one is gonna keep it, maybe cheap people with good taste will get 'em, but most of the new sales are gonna be the 6s and 6s+

for me the 5s just still runs great. apple pay and 3d touch arent killer apps but a camera upgrade would be nice. i expect i'll get the 7s

who should I thank for this, apple or google?

apple. i remember back in the day blackberry let you could customize every alert for every app individually. i dont really know what would be lost by letting apps have default alerts but also allowing customization in settings

i dont have sound customization settings for a single non-apple app in the system settings. does apple expose that functionality to 3rd party developers?

also for filtering spam when they do sell you out
problem is a ton of websites think a + is an invalid character in an email address. and if they don't, im sure plenty of them know to just strip off everything following a +

no, he's talking about the gmail inbox app by google and he is right that you cannot change alert sounds for non-default apps.

being able to differentiate what exactly is sending you a notification is good and very useful

From what I know third party apps can chose their notification. If they want users to be able to customize the notification sound they have to write a UI for that themselves. Outlook on iOS does it.
