I agree completely. I think it’s a terrible color. Can’t Apple do better? Three standard colors and one . . . that’s awful.ne1 said:I sure hope it's not that blue; because that blue is hideous. Not that I would buy the blue one anyway. -
Apple devices in EU getting repair scores & battery life labels
I’m sorry you’re so frustrated with living in New Zealand. I’ve heard it’s a very beautiful country.lowededwookie said:I guarantee consumers won’t save any money.
All that will happen is the power companies will raise their prices due to consumers using less power.
It happens here in New Zealand where power companies increase prices in winter to rort the consumer claiming we’re using more power than they can generate. Except New Zealand can produce more power than it actually needs.
Welcome to the wonderful world of markets. Don’t even get me started on how we pay international market rates for New Zealand beef and lamb internally.
This is not about saving money; it’s about how much energy the devices use, just as with refrigerators, clothes washers, etc.

Trump demands 25% tariff on any iPhone not made in the US
The reasons given that prevent iPhones from being made in the US - “there is not the required skilled labor, there is not a supply of the rare minerals needed, and there are no facilities.” - can be dealt with, but would take years to implement. It’s not impossible, but the overnight change the Orange Man wants can’t happen. Does he really not understand this?
