  • Preorders for iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro have begun

    The pre-order prep process in app was very nice. Once it was time it took a few minutes for it to bring me in, then it was a snap. 

    Only thing that irks me is Apple Card monthly installments are artificially limited to the big carriers for no logical reason. If you want unlocked (for Mint Mobile) you need to buy at full-price. 
    As long as you don’t choose AT&T or Boost as the phone carrier the phone you receive is unlocked. Then during setup you can either transfer your eSIM or use the carrier’s app to install a new eSIM.

  • France approves digital tax measures against Apple despite US pressure

    I am surprised that it took EU countries this long to enact these kinds of taxes. It’s common knowledge that Apple (with help from Ireland) took advantage of loopholes in international tax laws to reduce their tax burden. Of course, Apple has done nothing illegal, but it’s completely within each country’s rights to change tax laws to close those loopholes.
    So imagine if every UN country charged Apple an additional 3% on revenue.
    It's not clear to me if the 3% tax would be on all of Apple's revenue or just its services revenue.  Is it clear to others?

    Digital revenue generated in France.
