Even with its production diversification efforts in recent years, at least 90% of what Apple makes--and estimates go as high as 95%--still comes out of China. Any thought that Apple can turn on a dime and shift meaningful amounts of additional produ…

"The older Lightning-based version [of Airpods Max] can access lossless content using Apple's Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter." I don't believe this is true. Here's what Apple has to say: "The Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter is …
