I think it's time for the gloves to come off. honestly... this is a disgrace. How long are you guys across the pond (westwards, to be clear) watching this disaster unfolding?

Yes the US are very important for the whole world's economy, but there's limits to everything. We should stop this appeasing and just call out things what they are. The US government decided that diplomacy is no longer "in", so the rest of the world should not be trying to uphold principles towards the US that are not reciprocated. 

“Time for the gloves to come off”.    LoL.  The EU has no technology.    Zero. Nothing.   That is why it spends all its time with bureaucracy  and trying to fine everyone 

Go ahead and “take your gloves off”  LoL 

Nothing significantly new for a AW 11 launch.   I think Apple needs to go to a 2 year update cadence.    They did it last year for AW Ultra, only offering new color change

So, I'd just keep the AW 10 for another year with no changes.   But, launch new Ultra 3 in Sept that upgrades the SOC and offers satellite connectivity.   Then tick-tock between the two so there is one AW update every year.     And update SE every ~ 3 years 

It's sad, but that's the reality of where this product category is now 

Apple Senior Execs and the Board of Directors have become like the US government - too old and too out of touch  

75 for a Board seat in the world of Tech?   Good grief.   Lower that to 65 or 70 immediately.   What possibly could this Board be contributing?   How could they possibly assess if Apple’s AI plans are off track?
