Apple reportedly evaluating Apple Silicon-powered macOS on iPhone
I don’t believe Apple would simply provide a docking mechanism that would switch from iOS to macOS.1/ They went through a great deal of effort to provide a good user experience on iPadOS with mouse and keyboard, where would that go? Forget about it and switch to macOS?
2/ The architecture, the apps, the file formats will be the same but the file systems remain fundamentally different, at least in the way we access them: it’s sandoxed on iOS, unix based for macOS. So what would it mean? Everything becomes sandboxed on macOS? All data is duplicated? Both OS cannot see each other’s data?
Anyway I’m all for a convergence, and I am confident that if any company can crack it this is Apple, but I don’t think it will be the way described here.

Arms race: Apple's waiting for robotics for US iPhone assembly, says Commerce Secretary
iPhone assembly lines in China actually have quite a lot of automation and robotic arms. Sure that can be even more automated but they are currently better positioned to do so. We will see anyway. One point is I do not see where AI comes in here. When it comes to manufacturing you are looking for a deterministic process that you can repeat as efficiently as possible. Not really AI strength for now.

France data protection authority hints Apple advertising may violate GDPR
macseeker said:I think Apple's move in general complies with the European GDPR laws. Seems like France has their head in a dark place and loving the smell.
Please tell me if I'm wrong.GDPR, just like CCPA, is ultimately about a consent for some data collection on specified purposes. I do not remember consenting to anything in that regard for Apple ads or related on my iPhone or Mac. So if they are indeed collecting data then they would breach regulations (or I forgot I gave my consent...). I would be very surprised this is the case, and from what I gathered from the article no one is saying Apple breached anything, there’s simply a commission doing its job and checking everything is compliant.

Apple EU anti-competition fine is a relatively modest $570 million to avoid Trump retaliat...
Companies must comply with the regulations of the regions in which they operate—no exceptions. Failure to do so results in penalties. In fact, US tariffs have cost Apple significantly more than all the fines the EU has imposed combined.To take the wording of the previous post that would make the US more evil, and Trump more wrong. With that reasoning one could wish biblical judgment on the US. But that’s not the US. It’s just Trump&friends.

Apple could owe over $8 billion in European taxes, new estimate indicates
Sure. Apple, like many other companies didn't dodge taxes. EU should instead patch the law in order to make all these companies make up for the loss all these years.SpamSandwich said:I recommend Apple sue both the EU and the Irish government for damages, plus file a formal complaint seeking sanctions against the EU by the WTO. -
EU antitrust agency may not fine Apple much to avoid tariff war escalation
As the leader of the free world, the EU must stand firm in fining corporations for unlawful activities, particularly when they are shielded by equally unlawful dictatorships.
