This is welcome news. I am experiencing some major bugs in Sonoma and iOS17. Sonoma has significant issues with Waking from Sleep and AirDrop to name but two. Updating to iOS17 I got duplicate apps and all sorts of other annoyances. I’d be happy to wait an extra 12 months for iOS 18 if it meant 17 became rock solid and fast. (My still-working iPhone 4 feels fast compared to 17 on my iPhone 14 Pro.)

Where there is a will, there is a way. Trump could grant special visas for all the factory workers and managers overseas and import their skills. Replicating the buildings and machinery would be less problematic. However, can you imagine Trump sanctioning a mass import of migrants because they are more skilled than US workers and then subsidising their wages to give them earning parity with US workers? No. Of course he won’t. And that’s because, like so much of Trumps actions, they are about appearance, not reality, and so Apple is very wise to play along until we’re all finally rid of Trump. Meanwhile US consumers will pay for Trumps tariffs in the shops, but fortunately, due to Trump gutting education, he’ll get away with that too as many people won’t understand why or why they should blame Trump. It’s all sad and a waste of time and resources when we all have precious little of either (except the top richest 100 people of course, who saw their wealth grow over 1 TRILLION dollars last year).

So where there’s a will, there’s a way… see how the British converted the millennium dome into a giant COVID hospital so quickly, or built a tunnel under the sea from the UK to France when they were told it couldn’t be done. 

Couldn’t Tim Cook argue that an upgrade isn’t a new “product”? Even a new M2 MacBook Pro with a new form factor is still a MacBook Pro…
