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. -

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? -

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
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. -
