New Vietnam trade deal means Apple will pay at least five times more in tariffs
Why should millions and millions of other US citizens foot the bill for ranchers and chicken farms? That is socialism. That is a centralized government choosing the winners and losers in the economy. That takes away freedom from individual US citizens to spend their own pocket money the way they want for their benefit and gives it to special interests.Kuminga said:
No, these countries all had trade barriers on US goodsmikethemartian said:
It shows that the demand for US imports is so negligible that it doesn't matter.Kuminga said:0 percent for US companies into Vietnam is incredible
The fact Vietnam is wiling to agree to this show the ominous power of America
Did you know that Australia does not allow US beef because they say it’s poisonous due to poor US ranchers techniques ? Are you dead from eating UA beef? I am not.
Europe did same to American chickens .
That is why US export numbers so low and what Trump trying to fix

FireWire may finally be dead in macOS 26 & Apple isn't looking back
It wasn’t because of technological reasons that it lost to USB but because chipmakers like Intel balked at including it in their chips when Apple wanted royalties.quakerotis said:FireWire lost out because Apple wanted royalties for its use. Hence the 1394 disparity that made FireWire different on every platform and ultimately doomed.

No India tariff deal means Apple will face iPhone import fees eight times higher than befo...
Even if they make a trade deal there is still going to be tariffs. They will just be 15% vs 25%.

The situation is crazy right now and the more anyone concedes, the more they will want.
I've never seen such a wide-ranging bunch of officials so out of their depth and trying to please a president who is not fit for office.
Bessent is supposed to be 'smart' but every time I see him pushed on anything he just spouts stuttering gibberish because he doesn't have answers that fit Trump's orders.
Navarro is a hawk who has always had economically reckless ideas.

AirPods face slowing growth as Apple eyes ways to expand sales
I'm surprised they don't officially sell different colors or patterns like they do with watch bands.

I’ll wait…In China they make about $1.60 USD per hour for the first 40 hours and then time and a half for overtime from 40 to 60. Plus it is seasonal so they have to move back and forth between the plant and home. -
New Apple-funded program teaches manufacturing to US firms
Except that Apple doesn’t manufacture its own products and it is really companies like Foxconn who have that knowledge.

Developer angry that App Store is removing game that hasn't been updated in 7 years
It sounds like dealing with the government or an insurance company.

Trump has a problem with Tim Cook, because Foxconn is building factories in India
I didn’t really understand the strategy of shifting from China to India or another country because that takes a long time and Trump can in just five minutes decide to place tariffs on the new country. It isn’t like it has to be approved by Congress which would take longer to respond.

Epic antisteering court order is 'constitutionally offensive' to Apple's free speech right...
They seem really desperate.
