    T**** (the convicted felon and sexual predator) is a criminal. 

    Tim Cook is complicit with a criminal.
    Get over it.  

    Cook is playing the cards he was dealt.  
    Exactly. I don't understand why this is so much difficult to understand for people posting in tech forums. Apple's CEO's hands are tied and he is doing an excellent job in keeping Apple's interests intact.

    100%

    he's not beclowning himself like Zuckerberg, who's exactly as awkward-fitting in this new human skin as he was in the last one

    and he's not all but screaming "HEIL TRUMP" like Elon "iT wAs A rOmAn SaLuTe" Musk

    I don’t perceive Cook to be happily collaborating like Musk and Bezos and other billionaire scum (but I repeat myself). The Traitor-in-Chief will be in the office four more years, it’s Cook’s duty to employees and shareholders to advocate for Apple with whoever occupies the office.

    I agree...I don't think Tim Cook is doing this because he wants to. He's doing this because he has to in order to protect Apple as a company. As a leader (and a good leader), you have to learn to work with people, even if you don't like them or agree with them.

    The Trump Haters still do not get they are the reason he was elected and are the reason JD Vance will be the next President. 

    As for those hating on Cook what he has done is to Trump on his side to keep tariffs away and to put Apple first by addressing the EU political lunatics. Just like Trump is never going to jail, Apple is never going to pay the fines or be manipulated into having their business model forcibly changed. New sheriff in town who puts America first.

    America is somewhere on the list, but I'm not sure it is in the top ten. He is his number one priority, then his money, his property, his golfing, his money, Putin, his money, and then the Gulf of Mexico. America is somewhere after that then maybe his kids and his wife.

    From The NY Times earlier this evening:

    President Trump said on Tuesday that he intended to impose a 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports into the United States on Feb. 1, a decision that is sure to escalate trade tensions between the world’s largest economies.

    Which also means if it hurts Apple to stay aligned to USD for pricing products then he will not hesitate to change which currency he talks about in presentations. 

    I can see them using dual currency from the next release if the tariffs are going to force a USD price. Probably EU pricing so they can say iPhone 17 still starting 949 EU and now 999 USD

    More activism masquerading as journalism.  Apparently AppleInsider hasn’t gotten the message that people don’t want writers passing off narrow-minded opinions as fact anymore.  

    Pity.

    You'll find your opinion is the minority here.
