Apple should build its products in the USA. This is no easy feat, as it requires an entire manufacturing ecosystem of makers and suppliers. But still. Apple has the money to make this happen and the patience to stick with it for the 2 decades it would require. Now that would be a legacy Tim Apple could be proud of.

Intel really screwed up. They missed mobile and then missed AI. Not sure how they get back to being pre-eminent.

But no way we mix it, it will cost consumers more and will take a decade to accomplish.

More inflation, on the very smartphones, tablets, and computers that everyone is commenting on. When prices for tech skyrocket, let's see who survives the midterm elections.

Can I used them as Bluetooth speakers, yet?
WiFi has too much latency for various use cases.

If Apple had allow other payment systems from the start, Apple Pay likely would not have become widespread as it is. these days, except for the few holdouts, anyone who takes credit/debit cards, takes ApplePay. No other payment system this large is going to offer the kind of security and privacy protection Apple does with ApplePay and their credit card. So I doubt there is a significant threat to ApplePay in the Apple eco-system at this point. Extra NFC options don't hurt but will they really gain any traction when it comes to global adoption?

Nothing beats Apple Pay features, security and privacy. Not touching anything else unless it's a special needs situation.
