 Once again Apple teases with a low price for a crippled SSD of 256GB.  Apple is such a fraud when it comes to their environmentally preaching since they install small SSD that makes their device obsolete too soon and thus enters the landfill.  How is that good for the environment?  

At this point Siri has to be an embarrassment to Apple.  It seems to be so far behind and slipping even further by the month. It’s so strange since it began with a large lead.  This doesn’t bode well for Apple software development.

The answer: $200 that stays in your bank account (or doesn’t add to your credit card balance). 

$200 doesn’t stay in your bank account by buying the iPhone 16e. $600 leaves your bank account by buying the iPhone 16e. It’s a very common fallacy that people make on a daily basis (for purchases big and small). The only way to keep the money in your bank account is to not make the purchase.

 The obvious appears to be lost on you.

Shhhh.... Don't tell the Dotard.  He thinks he just pulled off an amazing deal....

Yeah, the dotard who conducted the greatest comeback in political history---despite the full force of the US government, media and majority of leftist global powers against him.  I understand why leftists don't like Trump, disagree with him or even hate him.  But I'll never understand how they think he's stupid.  

 Exactly right, Trump is a deal maker and even if Apple already planned to do all this US investment at least Trump got him to commit to it publicly and now everyone knows.  What is so bad about Trump and Tim talking about this and making an announcement- it’s good for everyone to know this especially the millions of Apple haters out there. People on the left, after all these years, still do not understand that President Trump is first and foremost a deal maker.  He does it with countries, companies and people ( he did it recently with AI and will do the same with Ukraine).  Even Mark Cuban who is not Trump fan said he is the best at it.

Like so much of a bribery victim's fealty, this will amount to no investment, no jobs, but plenty of time for T**** (the convicted felon and sexual predator) to lead his boy Cook around on a leash.

At least his trying instead of giving away your earned tax dollars. Get over it dude, you’re still crying of your election lost.
Tim will worked harder for this great American tax paying company. 

Sounds like you're not aware that the GOP plans on doing a $4.5 trillion tax cut that primarily benefits corporations and the wealthy. They're going to extend the $2 trillion cut from 2017 and add another $2.5 trillion on top. Keep in mind that the $2 trillion cut from 2017 was in place during the entire Biden administration. So if you didn't like the Biden economy,  the ineffectiveness of that tax cut was part of it. 

  The new taxcuts are mostly an extension of the exisiting tax law from 2017.  The lowering of the corporate taxes brought the US from 2nd highest in the OECD to the middle of the pack and stopped the corporate inversions, which every liberal conveniently ignores.  BTW, tax receipts are at al time highs.  Seems obvious but apparently needs to be stated, that all tax cuts go mostly to those who earn more money because they also pay the highest amount taxes and at the highest tax rates (The US has a highly progressive income tax system).  This very simple 4th grade mathematics seems beyond most liberals and Democratic Congress peoples comprehension - or so they pretend.  They beleive a tax cut means people that pay zero or almost zero in income taxes need to get thousands of dollars back from the govt, tax cuts are for people that pay taxes, it's not govt welfare.
