27-inch iMac flash storage cannot be replaced or upgraded
It is quite an Interesting Set of Questions ... I would pose this question to be pondered : How else would you provide a Very Elegant Solution to the Data Security Problem. Apple's combination of Solutions will work across their entire OS spectrum. Now & in the future. I do realize that not everyone wants or needs secure data . . . or do we ? This is pretty secure at an inexpensive price. They have thought out the future beyond several iterations of hardware & software.
What we buy today & drool over is not what will be here in 2-3 years, but it will work.

Apple's John Giannandrea talks Apple Silicon, moving from Google to Apple
Apple's John Giannandrea is correct. I am an engineer w MBA without a doubt he is correct. It is logical. People from the other side of the fence or window see only their world. It takes a World Class Player like to be able to set the direction of progress and the future . He & Apple see it.I am not privy to what Apple is doing exactly none of us will really know unless we are working at Apple or under NDA's. Industrial Espionage is rampant. Why would Apple tell us everything; they are smart and a smart person only discloses approved information. Things that are under NDA or inside their labs would blow the minds of people who are not aware of it. Most would not understand the concepts.Not everyone will buy Apple - they may think it is too far behind. It is not. If you control the software & are able to design the chips & hardware , the end product will be amazing. It is better. You just want it to work. Other's work, but not like Apple's. If you are in the other camps, you may be in the majority, but the majority is the herd. The herd runs all over the place when someone says "Boo".Apple does not follow the herd, they follow the true leader(s). It is an honor to work for Apple. The hours are long, the rewards are great & they are the leader & those with the herd mentality are not at Apple; they are elsewhere. Having less fun beating their brains out.Apple is so far ahead in software, hardware, processing in your hand vs cloud processing of data, it would take a major shift for the herds to change their direction(s) & go in a Unified Creative Direction. Instead they go blinding fast over the cliff. Just a metaphor.In 1984, the Apple Macintosh was introduced. It was fabulous and Archaic by today's standards. Excel did not even exist. I believe it ran VisiCalc. We brought our little desktop Macs to work to be able to use MacProject, MacWrite & MacDraw. The "others" did not have anything like it. They used command line interfaces to speak with the OS. Rather archaic don't you think. Apple had a vision. Jobs & Woz were creatives. I cannot say they envisioned all that Apple has become, but their focus improved daily. They refocused constantly and Apple is what it is today because of Visionaries like Apple had then, have now, & will have in the future.Apple has it down. Sure I can tell you what is wrong with some of the apps or hardware, but they keep the details of the vision close to their vest. When I worked initially for a Major Defense Contractor, I walked into a copy room one night and surprised a person who was photographing with a spy camera and copying the proprietary drawings of another contractor who was ahead and had the contract to supply a system for a major aircraft contract. This type of thievery goes on today at all levels, Chinese included, and the only way to keep a good secret is to not tell anyone . Even Apple segregates their workers, but there is a focus to make it the best.Others try, but Apple does it. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. Being able to Find, See, Accept or Lead has been my life's ambition. Try to be the best. We don't always have the luxury of being able to do that. Some times the trees get in the way when in the Forest of Life. Being able to change on a dime if needed when it is correct is important. There is not a lot of difference in gasoline as far as my car is concerned. It is a commodity item. Being able to really see the future is important. I have not always been able to see or admit the future, but if I was right and someone else was wrong, I would admit it either way.I admit Apple's John Giannandrea is correct. Can you see that he is most likely correct follow a leader ? There is a supercomputer in our hands, with Apple's Supercomputer Product line, you can touch, hold , own, & use it for creative purposes beyond our wildest dreams. Distributed Data is the wrong concept. The days of the Terminal into the Network, or the "Network is the Computer" maybe out of date. But if you work in that area, you may never see the forest for the trees. The Network is not really the computer, not for us. Maybe for you , but not for us and not for Apple's John Giannandrea.The Apple Subsidiary, Claris, aka FileMaker, originally Nashoba's Filemaker was far ahead. I Love that product, but I Loved MacWrite, MacPaint, MacDraw, Visicalc, etc because they let me have a computer that I could afford to buy, own, & use to accomplish what the Naysayers could not do. You will never know how many times were whipped, beaten, professionally crucified because we chose to not follow the masses. Especially corporate IT - they were the worse.Can you see the future ? I hope so. Apple is far ahead, will continue to lead, not all will follow the Star, but they have the Focus & the Cash. Sure they will make a mistake or so, but Naysayers are already doomed to be wrong by having the wrong attitude.TomE

Six Apple production lines capable of $5 billion in exports allegedly moving to India
Move those Puppies. China is a great threat to our way of life. Pay now or pay later. We are all paying for China's actions or the lack thereof with respect to the Wuhan Virus. Wuhan, China if my memory serves me correctly is the world center for the investigation of Bat Transmitted Viruses. Bats can carry / transmit 50+ identified viral threats. Look up the World Center for Bat Viral Research - it sure isn't the US, Europe, South America, India, Africa, etc. ; it is located in Wuhan, China.
The Manufacture of "All Things Apple" must move from China as fast as practical. They are known for stealing secrets. Apple is in Danger and we as American's are in Danger. Get out of there.
If it has China written on it, I try my best to avoid it. -
Apple facing yet another multi-state probe related to iPhone throttling
So, it appears Apple & others should not make software upgrades because a group of stupid class action vampires will sue them if they do and sue them if they don't. Kiss off vampires. I have even offered to pay for my battery for my 6S+, but the non-Apple store says it has not degraded enough to be worried. Generally there is a charging source located somewhere close by. I cannot use it all day because I have to do other things ! -
Apple employees granted paid time off to vote in US election
Time off for Voting at the Polls has been quite common in large companies for many decades. It almost goes without saying. Time off to Vote absentee is not really fair, but the minority claims it is unfair to give it to one without giving it to all. Hardly news worthy for Apple Insider.
Waiting in line is not common in the "backward communities" of the South. We have had automation for longer than I can remember. Why the big places cannot automate better is beyond me. There are many things we are ahead of big cities.
We have almost instant drive up free virus testing in Health Departments. Some had the foresight to build permanent outside shelters a long time ago.
What we all need to do it to track politicians at all levels on their promises and call them out when they don't produce. Note, I did not say protest in a violent manner. People who steal from insurance companies and less educated people need to be exposed for what they are - white collar thieves. We would find out there are many liars in politics, as well as medicine, etc.
I would rather see people who make promises exposed than be given 4 hours to vote when we have early voting in most elections. The machines are locked up , guarded and both parties are allowed poll watchers to report errors. There is no valid reason for polls to be jammed on Election Day. If I don't know prior to Election Day who I want to vote for, I probably should not be voting on that line of the ballot.
Yes, even unqualified people vote - even those who cannot read or understand what is on the ballot. Never the less, if they are registered to vote, they are entitled to vote. Illegals are not citizens and should not vote. Any one who is a registered voter should not mind showing a proper Government Photo ID to validate who they are. I guess I don't understand the problems in big cities.
People seem to want paid time off to do everything . That is what personal leave is for - it is personal.
