  • Your existing AirPods could gain a new live translation feature in iOS 19

    I do love the idea of instant translations! I trust Apple will kick the sh!t out of Samsung’s implementation. (Brother in Law bought SammyBuds for his move to Puerto Rico but they were too laggy to be useful!)

  • Apple CFO says 'fair' outcome in Irish tax investigation would be no money owed

    Apple did nothing wrong... If the EU found that Ireland did something wrong, then it is Ireland ONLY that should foot the bill.  Apple should have zero requirements to be forced to retroactively pay back taxes.
    Ireland can't foot the bill.  The whole point of this exercise (is)that there is a suspicion that Ireland gave Apple, and probably some other companies as well, an unfair advantage over their rivals by not collecting 12.5% of their profits.  The only way to redress that unfair advantage is for Ireland to collect the taxes that they should have collected in the first place.  There is no fine payable to the EU or taxes to be forwarded to the EU.  There is no 'bill' to foot.
    If Ireland collects the 'unfair advantage' taxes for the past 11 years... shouldn't they collect interest as well? /s

    On a more serious note. You are speculating that the Ireland / Tech Co Conspiracy, once ferreted out by the EU, doesn't have any penaties levied on the conspirators?
