Apple defeats lawsuit claiming Tim Cook is overpaid
Not to pick nits, but the correct word is remuneration, not renumeration.

European advertisers critical of iOS 14 warning users about ad tracking
I couldn’t agree more. The very reasons they’re upset are the reasons I’m happy about this new feature in iOS 14. Thank you Apple for having the courage to do this.sdw2001 said:Let me be the first to say “too effing bad.” Ad tracking is pervasive and a terrible invasion of privacy. The advertisers are upset? Shocker.

Apple Watch bands harbor dangerous bacteria -- because no one cleans them
The title of the article states that “Apple Watch bands . . .” Isn’t this true of all watch bands?

Tim Cook wants Apple to buy Manchester United soccer team
To address a point from Xed:
(Well, two. I never said Tim was like Elon. I said just the opposite.)But more importantly,
”Additionally, they are in need of a new stadium. If Apple gets their team(s) designing a stadium it very well cold become as iconic as its stores—perhaps to the point that you and I might go to see if we're ever in Manchester.”
A clarification seems to be needed. Apple designers are amazing product designers but they’re not architects. The two fields are very different. Jony Ive did not design the new Apple headquarters, the architect Norman Foster did. Steve Jobs did not design the Cube on 5th Avenue in NY, that was the architectural firm of Bolin, Cywinski, Jackson. Steve Jobs didn’t design the stair in the first Apple office building, that was the work of the architect I.M. Pei. Just to dispel some rumors I’ve heard over and over. Apple designers have not designed any Apple stores.

Facebook attacks Apple over iOS 14 ad privacy program in full-page newspaper ads
I guess I missed the ads Facebook took out that said “We steal your personal data against your will and make huge profits from it.”
it must’ve been with the one that said, “We influence public opinion in ways you can’t even imagine.”

Trump demands 25% tariff on any iPhone not made in the US
The reasons given that prevent iPhones from being made in the US - “there is not the required skilled labor, there is not a supply of the rare minerals needed, and there are no facilities.” - can be dealt with, but would take years to implement. It’s not impossible, but the overnight change the Orange Man wants can’t happen. Does he really not understand this?

This may be the best look yet at the iPhone 15 color assortment
With this news it means that I’m definitely getting a case this year, and not a transparent one.These color choices are very disappointing. -
Colombia court bans 5G iPhones and iPads in Ericsson patent case
There are also brick and mortar stores operated by authorized retailers in countries that don’t have Apple Stores.mpantone said:
Those are bricks-and-mortar stores. You don't need a bricks-and-mortar location to do business.applesauce007 said:Ok, let's see... Apple has zero stores in Colombia. Oh well...

Ever hear of Amazon.com? How many bricks-and-mortar stores do they have where you live? How about Roku? Or Sony? Or LG? Or Logitech?
How many retail stores does Nintendo have? Two: New York and Tel Aviv. Zero in Japan: not a single one.

iPhone 16 Pro Capture button shown off in new CAD leak
I agree 100%. The latest iPad Mini has the power button on top so why not the iPhone.citpeks said:Am I the only one who wishes Apple would move the power button back to the top edge of the phone? Like it was on past phones, and how it has remained on the iPads?I curse Apple every time I unintentionally take a screenshot after trying to put the phone to sleep.Putting the power button directly opposite the volume buttons in an invitation to make such mistakes, if one need to grasp both sides to gain some leverage.

Apple CEO Tim Cook attending Trump inauguration after $1 million donation
Apple pay’s millions in bribes to lawmakers every year, also known as “lobbying”, why not give a mil to the president. I hope he has a good seat at the inauguration.
