    until the device costs bw $1000-2000 (Pro, non Pro, whatever) we cannot talk,
    Still see you're just copy/pasting from your other comments where you've said the same thing. Anything else to say, or is that the talking point you're paid to spam around?
    meh, dream on,
    Cogent, what a contribution you make to these forums.

    Business-wise, makes sense for the family organization to do this. Capitalize on popularity and make some money. 
    No, it doesn’t make sense, because that’s unethical and wrong. It’s why we ask presidents to divest prior to coming into office. It only makes sense if one is void of ethics and doesn’t mind doing wrong. 
    Is the president involved? I thought his family took it over in 2017. Or is the family not allowed to make a marketing connection to the fact that their father was and is the President? Donald Trump Jr. is not Donald Trump Sr. 
    You thought wrong. Yes, the president is involved. He is enriching himself while in office, profiting from the very same industries which he affects with tariffs, executive orders and social media posts. He is doing crypto currency deals with foreign countries while making state visits. 

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2025/05/06/trump-organization-admits-president-still-controls-his-business-in-new-filing/


    So we are using British rules now?
    Yes, to the extent that we are using British rules of disclosure that demonstrate the complete lie that the President is not in control of the Trump Organization and directly profiting off of whatever money is raised through this latest Trump Org grift. 

    It used to be considered an honor to serve in high public office, and a person of ethics would not only abide by the rules separating their personal interests from those of the nation, but would go out of their way to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Tax returns and financial interests would be disclosed, and personal investments placed into a blind trust. Not so, this president. 

    You asked "... is the [Trump] family not allowed to make a marketing connection to the fact that their father was and is the President? Donald Trump Jr. is not Donald Trump Sr."

    For anyone with a modicum of ethical standards, the answer is clearly and obviously "no, they are not." If the president and his family didn't want to make the sacrifice, he didn't have to run for office. It should be an embarrassment for you to exhibit your own lack of ethical judgement and suggest such behavior is in any way acceptable. 



    I suggest we don’t have to even go so far as to the unethical nature of these acts, but simply to point out the utter hypocrisy that is everything in MAGA land. What’s good for Trump and Republicans is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER good for Democrats, and yet they see no inconsistency, no illogic, and that is the biggest problem because no matter how well behaved Democrats act, MAGA will never see the light and always give their orange god and party a pass to do whatever they want without restriction. The inability to reason and properly judge reality is absent this group, and that is a fundamental problem that needs attention first and foremost.

    Hey guys, don't be excited that something cool is potentially coming, just complain like morons that it wasn't here years ago. Fucking negative nellies.
    Yay! HomeKit is expensive and half baked with primitive programming compared to the competition but we get a new control on the Lock Screen. I’m SO STOKED!

    is that better?
    More like childish. Well done.

  • Lighter than normal WWDC expected without significant Apple Intelligence upgrades

    williamlondonwilliamlondon
    Why not skip WWDC2025 for first time?

    Rotten Apple. 

    If it is true, AAPL will tank again with a timid upgrade.. 
    But iPhone has been boring since iPhone 12. 

    The last exciting moment was iPhone X. 
    Oh yes,  you've posted that same comment ("Apple is doomed.") over and over already. Have a look at this post from years ago on this very forum: https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/152839/rules-of-the-troll-wip/p1, it's #1 btw.

    How odd to launch an Apple Vision Pro app so long after hype and sales have died down.
    Yes, how odd to continue to support one of the products they're selling today, it's downright unbelievable!

    AAPL again screws up...  Release in 2026? IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!! 

    When Craig was asked by Toms Guide if Siri will be rolled out in 2026, he avoided the answer and explained the root cause.
    When Toms Guide asked Craig again for release in 2026, Craig looked over Joz. 
    Joz said he confirmed.

    Craig has no idea if Siri will be ready.. And the marketing guy said yes... 

    I bet that Siri will not be ready at iOS26, iOS26.1, iOS26.2 etc. 

    Maybe 2027..Maybe...

    But  By time they are ready, everyone will be on the next iteration of AI.

    Apple is rotten.
    Oh good god, you’re just ignoring and spitting in the face of the forum moderators at this point who at multiple times have told you to knock this shit off. Go to MacRumors, they love trolls and shit posters.

    Of course the only apps that are allowed on this phone will be sponsored by and for trump. It will contain all sorts of malware and "specialized" software that will track everything the user goes to, every text, every phone call, the complete contents of your Contacts/Mail list, embedded government software that tracks your every step, access to a camera system that identifies everyone around you and of course, allows every user to contact anyone in Russia, Iran, North Korea and every other dictatorship while sending all your information to these countries. Sounds like a great, secure phone an American would want to use. Perfect for the trump government so they don't have to worry about using Signal.
    It probably won’t be that sophisticated, the grift will simply be charging morons and fools 2x (at least) for a gaudy gold phone that signals their fealty to their overlord and king, and the Trump grift machine will already be working on their next corrupt plan to swindle their followers to care about exploiting the existing con any further, rinse and repeat.

  • Qualcomm CEO downplays importance of Apple relationship after C1 modem

    williamlondonwilliamlondon
    "64-bit is a marketing gimmick"

    - Official Qualcomm Statement 2013

    "Apple's 64-bit A7 Chip 'Set off Panic in the Industry'", "the A7 'sent ripples of disbelief' throughout their [Qualcomm] offices"

    - Qualcomm Employees

    Not sure losing such a big revenue stream warrants a "that's what it is" blasé response from the CEO. Downplay it all you want, but it's actually quite a big thing.

  • 'Breaking Bad' creator's new show on Apple TV+ is 'Pluribus'

    Breaking Bad was excellent ... Better call Saul had a few good episodes ... if that trend continues Plur1bus will be nothing but a giant wast of money.
    What a ridiculous thing to say, perhaps read what you write before hitting Post Comment from now on.

    The two franchises are purported to have earned more than $2B, plus lots of critical accolades. Seems they’ve figured out the formula for success, but internet yahoos claim “Giant wast of money” indeed. FFS.

    At last it looks like I'll finally be upgrading from iOS 17 to iOS 18 in the next few days. Same with migrating from iPadOS 17 to iPadOS 18 as well as macOS Sonoma to macOS Sequoia.

    As usual I will wait until at least June 2026 to install iOS 26/iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 Tahoe.
    Totally up to you. But I have no idea what you are waiting for. 
    He’s being ridiculous and announcing it to the world.
