  • New TSMC 1.4nm chip is destined for the iPhone 19

    1.4 nm m7 sounds pretty awesome. 

    Gotta wonder at that size if an ultra tier chip could be feasible in a laptop

    The eu better shape up. This admin does not play. 

    Apple has been harmed horribly by these extortionate tactics and it must be reversed. 

    Trying to lower the fine amount to fly under the radar would never work as predicted. 

    No more abusive treatment toward Apple or any American/American company. Enough is enough. The entire dma must be deleted. It was wrong at the stsrt and it’s wrong now. 

    Every time time the eu steals money from an American tech company, their tarriffs should go up and sanctions implemented. 
    The EU’s fine is wrong, yes. So is Trump and his bleach I mean tariff injections. You really are enjoying that Flavor Aid. 
    At least the first part of your post was correct. 50/50 is not bad.

    Ok, had to delete some incredibly off topic and rule breaking threads that are just useless screaming matches. Let's chill out.

    And as a reminder: It isn't illegal to be a monopoly. It is illegal (or at least heavily regulated globally) if a monopoly uses its power of a specific market to manipulate that market or others. The EU has a right to govern how it sees fit, even if some of its policy seems unfairly targeted towards Apple. It is up to Apple to work through the litigation and arrive at a happy medium. These things take time, and the world leaders having pissing matches won't help either.

    Patience. This fine was a pittance for the affected companies. We'll see where it goes from here.

    Avoid insulting each other, politically charged comments, or leaving the topic entirely to make some kind of random point. There's no need for that.

    There also needs to be some safeguards where political regions can't just "change the rules" or implement new rules, and then claim companies are breaking those very same rules. It can take years, even decades, for a large company to build up their sales ecosystem, and then governments come along and just make new rules? One interpretation is that it's a convenient money-grab. Where does this fine money end up in the end? There should be some regulation over that, too.
