A 25% tariff is actually the tariff rate since 2019 imposed by Trump. 

And you wonder why everything costs so much since then???? 

Lol. iPhone pro max was 1099 in 2019. 1199 in 2024 under Biden. 

Gas was 4.13in California state average in 2019. 4.87 in 2024. 

The ford mustang GT was 35335 in 2019. 42495 in 2024. 

Eggs were 1.46 a dozen. In 2024 that went to 4.15 under Biden. 

Trump just got here. 

Let him fight the hood fight to get things back on track. Apple building st home is s good thing. Free and fair trade is s good thing. The USA has been tariffed to desth. It’s about time America recoups some of that until those same countries drop their tarriffs. Any American company building up hostile nations by giving them huge investments and building their economies instead of their homeland should be ashamed.

Make
s sense. If cook said he was going to build at home snd thrn got some exemptions, but then gave indication of going back on his word, then the tarriffs would factor again. 

Pretty sure if cook committee to doing SOMETHING in the usa soon, there would be no tarriffs. 

Apple has escaped so far. And now they’re in tje hot seat. Hopefully they make the right decision and do something back home. 

It’s a tough spot. But it’s also important to make the hard decisions today in order to secure a brighter tomorrow.

It's a great display. But you can find better at the $1,599 price. This is probably aimed at the professional/prosumer market, who need to calibrate displays/scanners/printers to precise specs. It can be done on 3rd party monitors, but is easier with Apple displays. Ideal scenario would be an all Apple-made turnkey workstation, where everything is already calibrated to CMYK and Pantone metrics. Sure would have made this retired printing business owner's workflow easier!

But then, if I was going to dream of unicorns and rainbows…

im pretty sure The other big consumer card companies with rewards cards get a share of the interchange fees.  I wonder why GS agreed to a deal not to. (Chase, C1, Citi etc). 

Apple Card was sure easy to share with my kids in Apple Pay so they could load their Suica virtual cards easily on our last trip to Japan.

It’s clearly extortion. If the Democrats are unhappy with Apple doing what it takes to keep from getting wiped out by the spray tanned dementia patient. Maybe they should have tried actually governing during Biden’s term?

the Democrats are mad that America is burning down but they were happy to roast marshmallows on the walls during Biden’s term. The Republicans are clearly the worse of the two parties. But America had no political parties that haven’t completely normalized corruption. Heck Biden’s team was all gung-ho on crypto. Something that’s terrible for the environment objectively worthless, and which serves to make it easier to commit financial crimes.

In my experience, longer hours or extra days = slower work. If you know you have more time, you take more time. You're not going to work at the same pace knowing it's a 12 hour day versus an 8 hour day or a 6 day week instead of a 5 day week. 

Not if you were working for Steve Jobs. You'd would have  been out on the street with a tin cup.

Why doesn’t she spend her time looking for corruption at the executive level where this whole mess  began. Tim Cook is just trying to somehow alleviate the negative impact of Tariffs sometjkng Warren should be doing instead of sitting on the sideline being bullied.
