    All the more reason not to get a Twitter account. Or deactivate the one you have.

    Get out of your echo chamber, and be in the world, people!
    Lol.  You mean the echo chamber it was?

    At least on iOS Safari this article ends prematurely.  I had to go to the comments section to read the .0 article post to the end:

    Pantone is one of those companies that makes absolutely insane amounts of money on the products that they sell. But as with everything, Capitalism decrees that any and every publicly traded company needs to keep making more money than they did last quarter. If they don’t then they’re seen as a failure. 
    Capitalism doesn’t decree anything.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone 14 Pro demand exceeds supply

    Interesting.   Yesterday I decided to replace my XS Max with a 14 Pro Max as the battery has declined and recently it has been cratering early during the day, sometimes getting into the red  by lunch.  

    The online Apple Store store was listing Nov 17-24 as the estimated time of shipment.  I ordered directly from T-Mobile yesterday and I got the ship notification today and UPS estimates a deliver tomorrow 
    That is TMOBILE stock which they already paid Apple full price for which they sell to their USA customers, same with ATT and Verizon. Apple considers the phone you bought from TMOBILE as already unit sold by them.

     The Nov 17-24 is Apple stock which is world wide demand story 

    part of the reason the Apple stock is taking so long is because carriers like TMOBILE likely ordering by the millions of units each week
    Yes this is being typed on the new one that came today. My neighbor, who is a regional manager here for T-Mobile was surprised when I told him it had shipped the day after ordering.  He said it is usually the other way around and Apple can deliver more quickly than they can. 

    Customers don’t have to buy directly from Apple or from carriers.   They have a choice.  This time around the carrier seems to be the better place.  

    Apple is not creating a scarcity of SE 2022 models to drive people to more expensive phones.  They try and model demand and then produce to that model and if the model is off they end up with not enough of the model that is really in demand but which they modeled as being not so popular.   And perhaps an over abundance of another model of phone where they thought it would be super hot and the demand is lower than forecast.   

    Apple doesn’t care which iPhone you buy as long as you buy and iPhone. They know you’ll be back and be buying apps and subscriptions and eventually another, perhaps more expensive replacement in a few years.

    Meta and Zuckerberg are scum.
    But in this case they are right. (There’s an old adage about stopped clocks that fits here.) 
    How are Meta / Zuckerberg “right”?   This seems a clear cut case of a digital service being sold in-app.
