    Other companies have indeed outperformed Apple in AI, but only in AI. Apple has them beat literally everywhere else. 
    To investors Cook is delivering the worst performance during his tenure of the top 3. He spent a decade on not delivering Car and the company is stuck with phones and accessories (covers, services) without any growth.

    Cook is penny-pinching and trying to win by fighting the battles of yesterday. How did that strategy work for IBM, Intel, or Xerox?
    He also spent a decade solidifying Apple’s position with
    1) Airpods
    2) Apple Music
    3) Apple Silicon 
    4) Apple TV+
    5) Apple Watch

    Besides, when did he stand on stage and promise anyone, “The Apple Car” will be delivered ….

    This will probably fall on deaf ears but Please I humbly plead that you refrain from posting political stories.  I totally understand  because traffic clicks $$$$  conflict model, but please.  If you feel you do well ($$$) with these types of posts, maybe consider a political section or dedicated mac political site.  Its horribly disturbing to see hobbies destroyed this way.  Humbly,  Long time mac user. 
    If the acts of a politician affect the price of Apple products or Apple the company, then yes Appleinsider should mention it.
    The fact that you don’t want this to be political, is ignoring the elephant in the room.

    This approach is highly consistent, semantic, and clear.
    Not to people in the world who use Month, Date, Year. 
    Isn’t Day Month Year more straightforward?
    None of the above.

    YYYY-MM-DD HH24:mm:ss    Perfectly sortable no ambiguity.
    Hate it when IT people use DD-MON-YY hh:mm:ss  AM/PM

    Yes, all software companies should release software based on the year, month, and day, just like MacOS 26.1.4.

    When the year 2100 arrives, it will be known as macOS 126.1.4.

    This approach is highly consistent, semantic, and clear.

    While programmers implement this internally, we must also demonstrate it externally to avoid confusion among consumers regarding the version of software being used.


    Nah!   Just use Stardate 46321.4

    Will be interesting to see the fruit of continued talks between cook and the president. 

    Tarriffs are no fun. But necessary to restore the balance of power in global trade. 

    The president has tried to help apple through this as much as possible. Bow it’s Cook’s turn to do his part. Hopefully this lights a fire under him to get after it. 
    In other words, Trump’s plan is something like this.
    Tarrifs ==> Abracadabra ==> Factories
