This is really odd of Belkin since historically they have a prime Apple accessory provider. Maybe this is a space that they never really had any experience or expertise. It took me a long time to find a good vendor for switches. The key parameter…

How much was the original Mac in real terms. I think around $2500, which in today's prices is $10000. Still the Vision Pro is an expensive hobby. Not really for me and certainly not at that price. Remember that quite a few of Apple products star…

All I can say is thank you Steve and Tim. Back in 2003 I have 10K from a 401K rollover. After trying to do some trading and only being moderately successful, I decided to go all in on AAPL. I followed Apple closely, bought their products and I kn…

I've been waiting for this ever since Apple started releasing the silicon Macs. This is potentially a game changer. When Apple first released the iPod, it was a high end device only. Then in gradually made cheaper models. That and the windows v…

I've got two MBPs sitting on my desk doing nothing. One is from 2012 and the other is from 2016. Both work very well. This really shows how good Apple's hardware really is. I should really wipe them and donate to charity.

What if you have an android phone. Not that I care since I will never buy that shit but just curious. The key thing is that CarPlay Ultra will get better and better. You're not just stuck with the same interface options for ever. Very cool. How mu…

I wonder if the 900 million is just the tariff bill or the total cost of increasing production in India? Cook may have not discussed whether the cost of the units will eat into Apple's profit. Apple can certainly absorb some of it rather than pass …

The AppleWatch Afib feature saved my life back in October 2020. Started noticing irregular heart beats and could see it on the AppleWatch. Then it started getting worse and the AW issued an Afib warning so went to the emergency room. I told the do…

Any business that imports products will pass the cost of the tariffs to the us customer. If sales go down because of that, the business will need to determine whether investing in us manufacturing will make them money. For chip business the cost of …

No one likes the idea of paying a telecom another 10-25 a month for the privilege of accessing the internet. I agree with the earlier statement that the cellular versions of iPads and watches don't have general utility unless you are traveling a lo…

The ability to upgrade a Mac would definitely be useful. I understand that this is a cash cow for Apple since it means people have to choose the model that will meant not only their current needs but possibly their future needs too. In many ways it…

The iPhone gives Apple the cash to fund its R&D. Take the iPhone away and the stock will crash heavily. And also all the cash for R&D will disappear. Apple has had a remarkable near 30 years of success. iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, m…

I upgraded last year and Apple have started that the AI features would work on that phone. So I will probably skip this year. I can understand the price issue. iPhones are generally going up in price every year and at some point that has to take …

I would like to see Apple be more competitive in pricing. Not for the high end Macs like MBP, Studio etc but for the low end Mini's and Air. They could do this by having an M2 version available at the lowest price (i.e. 499 for a mini) and have th…
