Apple and its suppliers now use more than 18 gigawatts of clean energy. This is kind of a strange statement, because a watt is a measure of the rate of flow, like miles per hour. Saying you used 18 gigawatts is like saying you traveled a distance o…

Great to hear! Diversifying away from China will take time, but it can and must be done.

I agree that Apple needs more RAM in the base configuration for AI and games. Otherwise, I agree with Apple that 8GB is enough for many light workloads. Perhaps with the M4 we will finally see the base configuration go up to 16.

Maybe Apple should create a European subsidiary HQ’d in Paris that is responsible for creating the EU compliant iPhone and related services, and wall that off from the rest of the world. Have it be a totally European operation with employees in Cupe…

Every time TSMC comes out with a new process people are overly optimistic about when it will show up in Apple products. It’s always a year later than optimists think. I’m very interested to see if Intel gets 20A chips out this year. If they do, the…

Hmm. I pay for Apple one but I don’t love it the way I love Apple devices. More specifically: TV+ —- love it, watch a lot arcade — hate it, don’t use music — it’s fine iCloud — if’s fine News — it’s fine whatever else — fine. If they could move …
