For the life of me, I don’t understand why the AppleTV franchise isn’t doing this. It makes no sense that Apple refuses to make content for its own device—gaming, sporting events, TV should all be supporting the device while it gets its wings.

I have seen analysis in the FT that the manufacturing value of final iPhone assembly is about 5% of the total cost of an iPhone. The idea of jacking this up to 25-40% of the cost of the iPhone for a PR stunt is magical thinking. Apple makes 500-60…

and the tariffs on Russia are? if the American economy survives another 3 and a half years years with this leadership it will be a miracle.

Actually the absurdity of this is that the final assembly of an iPhone has little value. I have read analyses that put this at much less than 10% (maybe as low as 5%) of the final value of the phone. Most of the value of the phone are in the compo…

Thanks Mike for the reporting and adding color to the FT article.

This was not corruption. Tim Cook was executing his fiduciary responsibilities to Apple as a publicly traded company (and I should add to the benefit of America and its economy) to stop the madness of this economic policy. Even if one agrees with …

Though an iPad has a larger display and presents some challenges, it also has less daily use than an iPhone so paradoxically maybe less susceptible to repetitive wear.

This is entirely a selfInflicted gunshot wound, taking an economy that was doing well and strangling it. Apple and every other manufacturer of complex goods is not going to reshore production at great expense and time to the US because the WH messa…

in TSMC’s Taiwan Chip Industrial Complex they have a “factory” that turns out PHD candidates for the company. And their first job at TSMC is working the night shift at fab processes. They were always going to win. It’s a different culture. I am …

When I saw the stripped down quality of the iPhone16e, my first thought was this is a phone made for tariffs. The whole market is imploding and you could say that the money has moved out and will flow back in but the larger issue is having the MAGA…

His supporters look to Russia, Hungary and Turkey for guidance. Maybe they should also look at these economies as well which have suffered. Hungary is now one of the most corrupt countries of the EU and its economy has suffered. Russia despite it…

By surveying android, search, gmail, chrome, youtube use of an individual, Alphabet compiles a lot of our personal data for the purpose of surveillance capitalism. You could make the argument that all should be broken up but I suspect AI will chang…

Agree with most of what is said here, Apple missed the boat in not acquiring Eero IMHO as mesh wifi could have been a fondation in building out the smart home—Homepods, AppleTVs, security cameras, baby monitors, sensors, should all double as mesh wi…

Sweeney didn’t donate $1,000,000 dollars to the Trump inauguration so this won’t go anywhere.

This is the folding display idea that makes sense, you either fold the device and use the lower half to type as a MacBook like device or fold it all the way flat for an iPad experience. Count me in. An iPad/MacBook doesn’t get the typical 6 hours …

I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t have a seperate in house competing voice assistant to Siri in development. Much like Jobs had competing PC teams back in the day. Apple has resources to fund a Siri competitor in house.

I had hoped Apple would have bought Bandcamp as I thought it would have been a good fit and a great gesture to the music community. But alas after being acquired by Epic and Musictradr that ship has probably sailed.

OK, watched the video. I now get it. I want one. Do I need one? No, but rather this than a Tesla creepazoid humanoid spy wandering around my house.

In TSMC’s principal chip manufacturing complex in Taiwan, new PhD(!) chip engineers work the night shift. People do not understand the scale and complexity of these operations.

This is good news, agree with the perspective of the. AI article, clearly there was political motivation here and of lack knowledge about security and interoperability. Now maybe something can be done with the decisions of the South Korean, Indian …
