I’m very pleased if Tim Cook didn’t just jump when Trump called him to.  Too many leaders around the world just do what Trump asks and usually get rudeness as part of the conversation.  He is a president dealing with other presidents so they are at the same level.

I’m certain TC has better things to do than whatever bit of new nonsense Trump has thrown about.

Trump only does chaos: confuse your message and you confuse the other party of your deal which means in the ensuing chaos they will probably do what you want.

Trump only does deals to suit himself, not the US or anyone else.  I’d love to know how much he’s made out of the rises and falls in the stock market with his flip-flop tariff game. Definitely insider trading. 

There’s going to have to be a major improvement in how all the iDevices interact with each other if this is going to work.  I have an iPhone, two iPads, Apple Watch, Apple TV, original HomePod and a Mini, plus AirPod Max and AirPod Pro 2, plus a new car with AirPlay.  Yes, lucky me.  However, they do not interact well with both HomePods playing different music, though they are in different rooms with rooms in between and even if I speak softly inches away from one HomePod.  My iPhone won’t Airplay to my HomePods without dropping the connection after a couple of minutes, neither HomePod will play as a radio, and using more than one app in the car causes the connection to collapse.  I can have Apple Maps and most of the time Apple Music playing but add a phone call and it all drops out.

My view is Apple needs to sort out how it wants its devices to operate and interact with one another (it should be faultless, particularly in an home with all the devices on the same WiFi network) and sort out the basics.  There is too much updating all the time.  Quite often nothing works with anything else.  I appreciate as I use public betas they are not infallible but it is all too frequent that the basics just don’t work.

I, for one, shall only get apps from the official Apple Store.  I’d much rather have the protection of Apple and its security.

Another attempt by lawyers to grab some Apple money and they will be the only winners.

I have never lost anything I have bought. However, items I have downloaded which are in Apple Music (not bought from the iTunes Store) have disappeared and it is obviously due to the rights expiring.  Sometimes they have come back so I buy them.

The lawyers do not do this on my behalf.

Apple must get so bored with this all the time.

Tim Cook should tell Musk and Trump that he’s quite capable of running a large company and that their interference is not required.  Bearing in mind Trump is not good at running businesses and Musk is just a chancer who buys other people’s ideas and companies, I think I’d trust Tim much more.  Tim is also considerably more honest, though that isn’t much of a compliment, on reflection.

Trump is, after all, just a guy with a big mouth and the sooner more people stand up to him the better.
