Fed up with paying for the US.
Apple is making no effort to launch products elsewhere in the world. Some countries don't even have Apple Intelligence on their iPhone 16s yet, and now we'll have to pay to compensate for internal political choices.
I hope the message gets through to all the tech newsrooms around the world and that the scandal will slow down product sales for Apple. We just have to do same as for Tesla.
I'd never thought about leaving the Apple ecosystem, but that could change with this!

You lot voted him to be President and so you can’t complain about your poor choices. 

Which lot is that? All Americans?

That corrupt-to-the-bone man child needs to spend the rest of his days in jail, and with him many more of his family members and allies. America is a mess.

Apple can´t afford to continue with their tiny uprades from WWDC to WWDC. 

WWDC 2024 was a disaster after Apple has failed to deliver what Apple promised. 

Google I/O was an "All or nothing" event with survival instinct to overcome risk of their existence. Google made a great job with I/O. 
Open AI steps up with Jony Ive to open a new chapter. 

After those revolutionary steps from others, people clearly expect from Apple to responde with similar steps. 

In Apple’s defense, they e kind of perfected everything except their nascent ai. Hard to make massive shifts when you’re already doing it right. 

How Google has stayed afloat is a mystery considering its constant throwaway projects and throw things against the wall to see if they stick approach. It makes sense they fully bore in on what stuck. Bevause they do t have much in the way of great things outside of the search engine snd the entrenched Gmail. 

Open ai HAS to do something. Competitors are getting way better and closing in. They need a differentiator. Hiring Ive is a Hail Mary shot. The amount of money going into that move is quite insane. Will see how it turns out. So far the only guarantee is jony just got rven more filthy rich. Lol. 

Apple is in refining mode as they figure out revolutions. 

"kind of perfected everything" ...Apple have perfected nothing.

There are bugs in Finder that have existed as long as I can remember. The fundamentals such as font management go unresolved whilst they focus on fluff such as animojis. Their core apps progress at a glacial pace whilst they fiddle with distractions like Stage Manager.

I no longer look forward to WWDC announcements as I have no faith in them fixing the basics.
