The EU is becoming a hell hole, they are punishing the winners.

Apple won and now they want their share.

You do know that there is more to the EU than legislation around Apple’s market share and App Store, don’t you?

I personally think if Steve Jobs was still alive, he would pull out of the EU

The single largest trading bloc outside the USA? Really?

I’m right in line with the previous poster - tech pundits are the jobs we’d all like to have where you can fail, and fail, and fail and still get paid to fail again. Their obsession with shiny new things, lusting after the next pointless gimmick (the one that will break Apple if they don’t incorporate it), tech for the sake of tech is so tedious and has been for years.

Sadly, I expect Daniel’s words will fall on deaf ears and we will continue to see more of the same, after all, it pays the bills.

The design hasn’t changed because it’s as great as it was when it was introduced - slim, colourful and elegant.

Does anyone ever think about WHY they want things to continually change rather than just stay the same? Do they just want it to “look new” so their friends don’t make the faux pas of saying “So you got the M1 iMac?” … err, no, it’s the M3 iMac actually.

QUAD sold the first full-range domestic electrostatic loudspeaker in 1957 - it was regarded by many as the world’s finest loudspeaker. It was withdrawn from sale 25 years later with absolutely no changes made to its design in that time and many considered it still to be the world’s finest domestic loudspeaker then. When you get it right …

Our so called government is the most useless ever in my lifetime (and I’m getting on!) but conflating them with the Labour Mayor of London is odd to say the least. I don’t know what power Mr Khan would have in this area at the kind of national/global level being discussed.

As for editorialising, the media does it every single hour of every single day. Every article you read has an angle - some state it up front whereas others (the BBC comes to mind) claim to be impartial. There is no impartiality from the majority of the world’s media and I personally find it refreshing to have the complete incompetence and stupidity of the current shower occupying Number 10 listed. The UK media let them get away with an obscene amount, allow them avoid answering awkward questions and not pulling them up on their never ending stream of lies. One of the main reasons we are living with the nightmare of Brexit is because the media are so supine and never questioned any of the rubbish being spouted at the time. Media behaviour has real world consequences, but when it’s owned by billionaires, what do you expect? They might just have a point of view …
