  • Trump demands 25% tariff on any iPhone not made in the US

    The reasons given that prevent iPhones from being made in the US - “there is not the required skilled labor, there is not a supply of the rare minerals needed, and there are no facilities.” - can be dealt with, but would take years to implement. It’s not impossible, but the overnight change the Orange Man wants can’t happen.  Does he really not understand this? 

    One decade to two decades of work to make it happen essentially thru 2 1/2 to 5 American administrations. And it doesn’t matter who’s in power because long range planning has not been a strength of the American political system in a long time if ever.

    They’re building the ultimate snooping device. 
    It will track your every movement, everything you say and will spit out more AI garbage than you could ever imagine. 
    While it servers will be burning the planet down.

    But Apples, shiny new M series servers based upon Apple Silicon probably won’t be burning down as much from wattage standpoint, (servers I might add that Apple has been reluctant in building).

    Likely a speaker with a screen. An ai Alexa. 

    What else is a third device “on your desk?”

    doesn’t sound like a wearable. 

    Saw the Ive and Altman commercial yesterday on YouTube. They sounded very bullish on this as if it were the next great thing. 

    As much as I don’t personally care for where technology is heading as it removes humans from the equation more and more, my interest is piqued concerning this. As it always is when Jony Ive is involved. The man always produces the best hardware designs, whether it’s a computer, a music player, a smartphone, a tablet, a watch, wireless earbuds, and even a paper red nose. Whatever he makes, it’s either revolutionary or st worst, best in class. 

    Remember Alexa? Apple was declared behind because they didn’t have a little speaker tied to a super computer that phoned home what happened with that? I’m not necessarily saying Apple is way ahead, but I would rather have Apple Silicon along with MacOS and all the different versions/offsprings of it going forward in comparison to the competition, it’s become obvious it’s gonna take a little bit more time for Apple to build out and optimize both in comparison to the competition, and I definitely hope Apple is on schedule to release the M5 before the end of the year in some of their devices along with continued software upgrades to go along with it. WWDC 2025 should be interesting.

  • Microsoft blames Apple's interference for why the Xbox mobile store has failed to launch

    So can Apple turn around and blame Microsoft for the lack of AAA games on the Mac? Is turn about fair play?

    Wouldn't that be developers not wanting to waste resources developing for Macs due to Apple's proprietary software (Metal, Apples fault) and lack of market share making it not profitable? 
    Basically AAA games are not on Mac because of Apple and developers, mainly Apple, not Microsoft.

    So if that’s true, Microsoft is now the most valuable tech company in the world what’s their excuse lack of money? I don’t care if Microsoft ever makes anything within the Apple ecosystems but it’s funny that Meta, Microsoft and Google want to camp out within the Mac ecosystems at will and then complain about it to government like Epic when things don’t go their way.

    Microsoft is so bad at times they can’t even get to Apples Rosetta one level with Windows in their partnership with Qualcomm on Arm chips, you know those Surface laptops, but they always seem to get a free pass for their crap just like Intel.

    I can't help but be intrigued by this. I hope it ends up being great.

    That said, there's a lot of big, arrogant talk. Altman says LoveFrom is the densest collection of talent that's ever existed in the world, and Ive just nods along. The cynical take is this is two men longing to be significant. Ive wants to recapture the significance he felt from helping develop the iPhone and other Apple products. Altman wants to win the AI war. 

    The grandiosity of Ive and Altman's video smacks of Imran Chaudri talking about the Humane AI Pin (before we knew what it was). 

    It feels desperate. Again, I hope I'm wrong. 

    Holding on until the initial public offering Sam is doing everything he can to get across the finish line because there is no moat for AI….
