Those white shoes he's wearing could be original Apple Sneakers from the 1990s. 

I would like to see AppleInsider read the contract and compare its benefits with the benefits Apple employees get when they aren't unionized. That would be interesting and relevant to Apple news followers.

China is copying US requirement on TikTok. 

The only ban currently in effect is Biden's Executive Order 14034. It doesn't ban all foreign software on all US smartphones. Have you read it? When you remove the fluff, Biden's order says: 

If persons who own, control, or manage connected software applications engage in serious human rights abuse or otherwise facilitate such abuse, the United States may impose consequences on those persons in action separate from this order.

Do you oppose "consequences" on "persons who engage in serious human rights abuse"? Or are you trying to suggest that China thinks the US is a serious human rights abuser?

Here is the population distribution of South Korea:

0-17:   18%
18-29: 16.5%
30-39: 15%
40-49: 17%
50-59: 16%
60-69: 7.5%
70+:    8%

Two things to note: (1) the two brackets above age 60 represent only 50% of the population share of the other five brackets, which most likely applies to this survey's samples. (2) the survey did not include people under 18, and I'm sure many people under 18 have cell phones, probably in the same ratio as the 18-29 bracket. If you take into account these two facts, Apple's share would most likely be larger than this survey suggests.

Meh, I'm not sure what else you'd expect him to say. 

I usually like when they say something like, “the future of computing is here. We started this journey years ago and now we have worthy competition that will continue to fuel our passion for tomorrow.” Something like that

Zuck didn't "start this journey", however. The first VR headset was built in 1968 by Ivan Sutherland. Search Google with the phrase:...

Augmented Reality: "The Ultimate Display" by Ivan Sutherland, 1965

And witness the first VR in action here:
