 A tariff has to apply to products or countries it can only single out a particular company if that company is found to be selling a product below market value (i.e. dumping) and this clearly is not the case for Apple.  

Unfortunately, the President can declare that any specific company or person is a national security risk and do whatever they want. And the current administration is daffy enough to do that. Individual attacks are the specialty of Trump. If Tim can't settle him down Apple is in trouble, and my retirement/existence ends. 

Moral sanity used to be a thing. Those days are over. 

I jumped to Affinity a few years ago. I liked illustrator back in the day, but the subscription model did me in (my company used to pay for it, but now I'm retired). Just not worth it at that price. 

I have the 4 version. Great headphones for flying with the nose cancellation. I've been buying older ones when the new ones come out, so got the 4 for just $180. Other than flying and vacuum cleaning I don't wear headphones. 

Firing Scott still bothers me. But CEOs do what they want to. He's done a good job for Apple. Would others have been better, we'll never know. Unless a good Apple TV sci fi series comes out about it. 🤣

Tim Cook is just waiting out a lame duck President, as is pretty much every other business leader who is currently paying this man lip service.

It's very optimistic to think America will still exist in three years (or more...laws don't matter right now) with the daily whims of a madman.

I'll take iOS 6 over the rest. Sort of like OSX, 10.6 was the best. Both have been heading downhill ever since. I really don't see how this is considered a redesign, it's just lipstick on a pig as they say.
