Apple CEO Tim Cook attending Trump inauguration after $1 million donation
Apple pay’s millions in bribes to lawmakers every year, also known as “lobbying”, why not give a mil to the president. I hope he has a good seat at the inauguration.

New iPad mini 7 gets A17 Pro, Apple Intelligence
The Mini is by far my favorite Apple product. I upgraded to the 6 for all the improvements and mainly so I could use the Apple Pencil with it, but I don’t see a reason to upgrade again.I guess this speaks to Apple’s high standards. (?).

Apple's future iPhone Flip - all the rumors about a possible foldable iPhone
That’s a relief that Apple will never produce a folding phone.AppleZulu said:
Apple hasn't done that. This is a rumor site, publishing rank speculation. Apple won't be making this device, as there is no point to it beyond novelty, and there are plenty of compromises necessary to implement the novelty. I can't think of an example where Apple produced a device that was more expensive but inferior in every other way just to chase a novelty form factor.fred1 said:So Apple has gone from Steve Jobs’s “I don’t ask people what they want because they don’t know what they want.” (which worked extremely well for years) to “We try to do better what others are doing already, even with limited interest.”
Hmmmm.
Apple probably has been researching folding screens, but if one shows up in production, it'll be an iPad. There'd be utility in an iPad that folds for more compact portability. Unlike an iPhone, a folding iPad wouldn't be prone to quickly wearing out from neurotically opening and closing dozens or hundreds of times a day to check messages and doom-scroll social media as people do with phones.I never stated that Apple made “a device that was more expensive but inferior.” They only make superior products, but have turned from creating new ideas to improving on the ideas of others. -

iPhone 16 Pro Capture button shown off in new CAD leak
I agree 100%. The latest iPad Mini has the power button on top so why not the iPhone.citpeks said:Am I the only one who wishes Apple would move the power button back to the top edge of the phone? Like it was on past phones, and how it has remained on the iPads?I curse Apple every time I unintentionally take a screenshot after trying to put the phone to sleep.Putting the power button directly opposite the volume buttons in an invitation to make such mistakes, if one need to grasp both sides to gain some leverage.
