    Yes, thoughts and prayers going out to those profits that are most at risk during this difficult time.
    Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple, he's there to talk about his business and his job.

    Tim Cook is not a doctor or a charity worker, luckily.
    feed the hungry? Don't they have prisons and orphanages? Ebenezer Scrooge, circa 1850, you 2020.

  • EU may force Apple to make iPhone battery replacements easier


    Raise your hand if you’ve thrown away disposable/removable batteries.  I have. I know they’re toxic as hell, but finding out where they should go isn’t easy or convenient.  

    You know what battery I didn’t throw away? The one in my iPhone when I got it replaced at the Apple Store.

    Green? Is there anyone more stupid than a bureaucrats...

    P.S
    I really would like to ensure batteries are disposable of /recycled properly... any place that sells electronics should accept them.  That would be 1000% better than their proposal.
    I guess you have never been to Europe, yes ordinary people recycle just about everything, as am American I can't get over how backwards we are here in regards to this.

    It started with the mandated charger port. Like we didn't see this coming. Once bureaucrats get their hands on something it's all over. Can you imagine what an iPhone or Samsung phone will look like when its design has been mandated by a government bureaucracy. Next up, a physical keyboard (because you can't conduct business with a touch screen keyboard, just like Steve Balmer predicted). /s Remember those before-and-after smartphone pictures when the iPhone was released? Talk about a retrograde!

    Am I being hysterical? Maybe, but trust me, bureaucrats know no boundaries when they are "serving the people". 
    Looks like Europe is looking out for its people interest over that of global corporations, sounds good to me.

    Don't worry Tim and Apple fans, a drug company lobbyist is now running the American CDC, guess who appointed him. What could go wrong?

  • Apple's iPhone launch plans might be delayed due to virus

    I hope they do, can't wait for the melt down on AI. "all I care about is my Apple stock, now it's worth .02% less, boo hoo...."
