This is simple to explain. Inflation and the ridiculous price increases blamed on COVID are causing people and companies to slow down on computer purchases. It's the same with cars and trucks. Everything is overpriced. CEO's are getting too much money, workers still aren't getting enough and stock holders are getting way too much money. Anyone with a brain knows this was going to happen. 

This! 100%! You have all of these massive corporations complaining about how they can’t afford to decrease prices to pre-COVIDE prices or increase wages for their employees while at the same time bragging about record profits and giving their CEOs massive bonuses. This behavior is absolutely criminal.

Corporations are absolutely criminal, you say. The price for criminal behaviour is jail, we all know. The conclusion therefore is to put all CEOs in jail.

Nobody on this planet can enforce a $15/hr salary for you. If you can earn more, good for you! Similarly no one can tell a corporation that they can't raise their prices. Your philosophy fails to recognize that corporations are just groups of people like you and me. Corporations are people too!

If the EU persists in this, Apple could separate its App Store into two different App Stores:
* one in the EU where only EU developers could upload code, and
* one for the rest of the world where the rest of the world could sell there software.
Nobody from the EU could sell apps in the worldwide store, and nobody from outside the EU could sell apps in the EU store.

Apple wouldn't be able to earn 30% on apps from EU developers and Apple would block Google, MS, Facebook etc. from the iPhone in 27 countries and make iPhone less interesting to EU customers due to reduced number of apps. How would Apple benefit from any of that?

So you think it's better for Apple to do anything that the EU ever demands?

Apple is also expected to make some form of announcement about the Apple Vision Pro within the next week, to steal some of the attention away from the upcoming CES.

using it may cause motion sickness, sweating or other discomfort. 

I have a condition that makes it painful to wear a headset for too long, perhaps an hour at most, so I may not be able to wear this device either.

With a monitor in front of my face I can move my head forward or backward to adjust my focal distance, which can reduce pressure on the focussing muscles in my eyes.
