Fantastic news. Anything Apple can do to screw the EU is fine by me. At least we’ll get all the features in the UK. 

The cable on the original HomePod wasn’t meant to be removed either, but several early users managed it. 

Might see a product in 10 years time. 

 “The EU has previously fined the company $2 billion over allegedly favoring its own Apple Music over the more successful Spotify.”

More EU nonsense. Spotify is more successful in spite of Apple promoting Apple Music. I live in UK and so glad we voted Brexit. 

Who cares about slim. Apple have been there before with Jonny, but a lot of customers don’t like it. Give me a bigger and longer lasting battery any day.

It surely makes it easier to "friend shore" assembly operations out of China, and the sooner, the better. Now if the bulk of the rest of Apple's supply chain in China is shifted to other "friendly" Asian countries, Apple might survive were China to actually attempt an invasion of Taiwan.

If China does invade Taiwan, Apple can probably kiss goodbye to chips made by TSMC. Then what happens?

I hope Apple thinks about pulling out of the EU is this BS gets any more draconian. 

Too big a market unfortunately……and their Apple users are going to be very pissed off when they realise they can’t get Apple Intelligence on mobile devices.

This new button seems like a great place to bring TouchID back instead of forcing us to use FaceID,  which was total shit during the pandemic when we were forced to wear masks.

Utter crap. FaceID can be set up with or without a mask, or both. Clearly you are not a proper iPhone user.

The sleep apnea feature was a totally snoozer. zzzzzzzzz

That’s very unkind to people with the condition. Clearly you are a selfish twat. 

These rumours could well be referring to Apple’s long awaited folding iPhone. Thinness will be required if two screens are going to fold on one another. There is zero point otherwise as thin means smaller batteries - but two ultra thin batteries in an ultra thin iPhone makes a lot of sense.
