  • French Apple Store staff will strike as iPhone 15 goes on sale

    Cesar Battistini Maziero said:

    Apple should just. fire all of them.
    Well, not that I support this action but the right to strike does exist in the French Constitution.. If the strike was declared five days in advance as required by law, then it is perfectly legal and you just cannot « fire » anyone over it.

  • Steve Jobs email reveals Apple was evaluating an 'iPhone nano' in 2010

    Reports suggest that the iPhone 12 mini isn't doing as well as Apple's larger devices, and the company may have plans to phase out the model in the coming years.
    I think Apple made a mistake with the iPhone 12 mini - it's not small enough! You say the iPhone 4 is "fairly small by today's standards" - no, it's very small by today's standards; considerably smaller than the iPhone 12 mini. I have a 12 mini and I still can't fully use it one-handed without reachability turned on. If it was the size of an iPhone 4 (but screen was full-face, so a larger screen than the iPhone 4) that would be perfect.
    100% agreed. The only reason I won't replace my SE (first edition) is that all current models are too large for me. I need a 5G iPhone that fits in my pockets.

  • EU will order Ireland to collect over $1B in back taxes from Apple - report

    ALL:

    Perhaps this is yet another good reason (that of national sovereignty) to leave the EU!     If this realstionship and deal is good enough for Ireland the Apple then that should be the end of the matter.   The EU does not provide Ireland with 6,000 jobs like Apple does, so if I were Ireland I'd simply refuse to abide by their decision!  What the hell can they do?  Expel Ireland from the EU?  That would be a blessing and a death warrant to the lazy bureaucrats in the EU in Brussels.
    The EU will probably seek revenge and punitive measures against anybody who dares disobey them.

    Any country that is a part of the EU are basically slaves to the disgusting elite, and they should do what they're told, or else.

    The good news is that the EU has already begun to crumble. I don't give it that many more years, before they're dead 100%. That is so wonderful and long overdue. :#
    Not to mention that "the disgusting elite" are aliens in disguise trying to take over the whole planet and enslave humans.. US beware, you're next (or were you first?)... hahaha!!! Lets take EU down so that each nation can get back to their neat ancestral occupations like invading their neighbors and such.. Because for a world company like Apple (sitting on $215 billion in cash - how?), paying taxes over 2% would be a total disgrace..
