As others have pointed out, it's about individual usage cases. Heck, for many people, their individual usage cases aren't the same every single day of the year. My iPhone 12 mini's battery is normally very fine for the majority of days. However whe…

The dividend increase was a penny per share, from $0.24 to $0.25. This is basically just to match inflation without making the dividend a fraction of a penny. As we have discussed time and time before, Apple mostly issues a dividend so its stock ca…

melgross said: I’m still ticked at Apple’s indifference to direct shareholder benefits. Seriously, a 4% increase in dividend payments when they declare another massive $100 billion in buybacks? It should have been at least a 10% increase and …

Congress is not involved in the creation of these recent tariffs. This round of increases is strictly an executive branch action. Your representative or senator did not vote Yes or No on these tariffs. Even Congress understands that a tumbling dolla…

Look, the topic of reciprocal tariffs has been beaten to death. Before the current administration, a lot of tariffs weren't reciprocal. Here's a TIME article from mid February on the topic: https://time.com/7222082/what-are-reciprocal-tariffs-who-…

I never said the tariff calculations were reciprocal. They are just based on halving the trade imbalance percentage which as I mentioned many economists think is asinine. Your comment is that the tariff calculation was based on nothing. This simply …

henrybay said: Apple should make a smaller phone, like the iPhone 13 mini, not a thinner one. That era is over. Apple knows exactly how many iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini units were sold and in what markets. They also know that their…

My guess is that Giannandrea will eventually find himself in a corner office at Infinite Loop (not Campus 1) with the title VP Special Projects with a handful of others below. At this time, he might find himself thinking that a change of scenery wou…

I vaguely recall an Apple executive who said on camera "the greenest electricity is the electricity you aren't using." Yes, the whole carbon credit business is a racket. And I find it bizarre that Cupertino-headquartered Apple supports planting euc…

There's no way that multiple user accounts on iPhone are coming in the foreseeable future. It's probably the most personal device you own, full of financial, medical, fitness, and other private data. Sure, there are a handful of weird edge cases but…

dewme said: The only thing that could hold back the thinnest iPhone is the battery run time. If they can get good battery run time I think they will sell extremely well, especially to people who like slender pants, small purses, or hate the w…

Only knuckle-dragging chip dorkwads care about process node naming conventions. Apple doesn't even mention what node or manufacturer is being used in iPhone marketing materials. Whether Chip Firms call it 10nm, 8nm, 7nm, 4nm, Joe Consumer really doe…
