Apple could build a fuel cell installation similar to the one they have in North Carolina and sell the power back to Foxconn and others. It's only 10 MW, which is less than 1% of a nuclear power plant or hydro dam. but it should be more than enough for its vendors. Apple has enough cash on hand to build 10 nuclear plants but that would not be politically possible in Vietnam. Wind power is an option, but may be politically difficult as well. It would only take 4 turbines to come in around 10 MW. I do think this is Apple's problem to solve. They have to break their dependence on China, and they have to do it soon.

I rather hope Apple adds USB-C to their phones. Just because they dont have to for another couple years doesn't mean they should put it off. I would buy a phone sooner than I ordinarily would if it has USB-C. I wont buy another one until it does. All this hand-wringing over MFi is silly. As long as it charges and connects to my computer I will be happy.

I already started a transfer from my Bank of America 0.01% savings account to my shiny new Apple Savings account. The transfer request took, but it hasn't posted yet. I suspect there is a certain amount of Apple first day crush going on.
