    I presume the EU will mandate this next.
    Yes, they will, anything that makes Apple Apple, anything that puts them ahead of the pack the EU‘s self appointed mission now is to make sure they don’t get too far ahead and many other governments in the world are following their lead to pile on too.

    The US should have put this sort of thing in place decades ago.

    If we had, we wouldn't be talking about how to restart high tech manufacturing in this country, because it would never have left.  Apple might have still actually made computers, instead of making nothing at all.  And Apple is one of the worst offenders, they don't build anything, it's all outsourced, most of it to fascist China.

    Half the USA is rabid anti-union, it is a traditional American pastime to look for rock-bottom labor, with no regards to about the long term future, whether it is a move to right to work South, cartel Mexico, Indonesia, Vietnam or China and India. I still hope that one of the more successful American companies will change that cultural trend leading by example, we still have time to avoid the fate of the UK.

    Germany, in comparison to the UK, still has strong unions that put up a fight, when a big multinational German company wants to move core jobs out of the country, probably why they still make a lot of things in country when compared to the UK, the same applies to South Korea and Japan. 

    Also note only the English-speaking countries allow foreign nationals to buy land and houses within their country, which is contributing to that affordability gap in each of the English-speaking countries for the natives (and I don’t mean  American Indian), which goes hand-in-hand with crushing unions at every opportunity, all five of the English-speaking countries, UK, United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand participate in the evil too.

  • Apple edges out Wall Street, with weak iPhone sales saved by Services surge

    Could it be that people are iPhone saturated and people aren’t dying to get one? Pure conjecture but this could be a consideration. 
    Would you buy a iPhone right now knowing the new ones come out in the fall? Like clockwork….. for how many years now.

    One other good/bad thing about the quarter is the smaller number of Mac’s sold, maybe this will light a fire underneath Apple to update the entire line of Mac computers, in a more timely manner, in particular the 24 inch iMac, and a bigger screen iMac using an M2 processor, you have no chance of making a sale if you don’t release something to the public.

    A reluctant MacHeadroom Mac buyer by the end of this month. :)

    From the country that instituted Brexit against popular opinion and had an unelected leader that was only in office for a few weeks, who destroyed hundreds of billions of pounds from their economy.
    The majority of people who bothered to vote, voted for Brexit it wasn’t instituted against anyone, those who participated voted for it (democracy). If you didn’t show up on the pitch (voting booth) and vote against it in greater numbers you deserve what you got.

    The next item on the Tory menu is eliminating the NHS and going to the American style healthcare insurance system, and insurance in America is falling apart everywhere, Housing, Health, Fire, Hurricane, Tornado, Flood, and Earthquake, those who are against government are going to want government help, a bail out maybe? :blush:

    The EU and Europe and general will just keep pushing until Apple finally says no, maybe the British can bring back industry and making stuff in their country? fat chance the upper crust, are all finance, lawyers, accountants, judges, landlords, aristocracy, tax dodgers and politicians. Just to bad the common person in Britain keeps falling for the upper 5% interests over their own.

    Apple will be forced to regionalize their devices, Europe, EU, Britain and many other countries just will not stop, I believe Apple will be forced to have a basic core phone, similar to a gaming console in some parts of the world.

  • Apple has been working on its own ChatGPT AI tool for some time

    Apple, Microsoft, and Google are the only companies that build OSs that are running on personal computers. They will decide the future of AI. 
    You mean Apple. Google doesn’t have a real OS on the desktop. They have that wannabee pretend ChromeOS. Microsoft doesn’t have a mobile OS.

    Only Apple has a complete OS ecosystem comprising mobile & desktop.
    In the coming years, will find out how complete Android really is as a OS, maybe when they try to copy Apple Vision Pro OS?
