    Exactly! I have been using this predictable behavior to my advantage for over 15 years. I have significantly increased my shares because of it.

    ...  But it is slightly hypocritical to want to fight the U.S. but turn then around and cow-tow to China and India.
    I completely agree. It is great to have principles, as long as they don't go out the window for the chance to sell more products.

  • Apple Services privacy praised, but lack of detail on new offerings confounding analysts

    Sign me up if it's $29.95 for all Apple services including 200GB iCloud storage.

    I have been struggling to figure out what services I am willing to pay for and how much. I actually had not thought of an all inclusive bundle. Imagine. All of Apple's services (Apple Music Family plan, max iCloud storage, Apple TV+, News+, etc) for one price. That is something I would go for, even if it is more than I am willing to pay for individual services. The mind is a tricky beast.

    We must not lose touch with reality. Content costs money to create.

  • Apple Music's 'Browse' tab refreshed with new look, wider playlist selections

    With the added TV/Movie service coming, the clutter of iTunes is only going to get worse. I wish Apple would rethink the GUI of iTunes on both the OS and iOS. I find people are constantly confused by the differences between Library, For You, Browse, Radio and Store. They don't really ever know where they are and what that means in reference to their options and the functions. They think the Store and Apple Music are the same. "Browse" what does that mean? So vague. Browsing what? I often get asked, "Isn't my Library the same as Apple Music?" I understand their confusion when they see songs they have downloaded from Apple Music in their library.

    They really need to simplify the whole ecosystem in a way that doesn't remove features and make it like IKEA instructions where it is too simple nobody can understand it. Or they just need to break it up into separate apps. They could have a streaming app that allows the user to see and access their personal music library from within the streaming app, but it is clearly distinguishable as a separate library.
