  • Apple fights India antitrust claims by boasting how much developers have been paid

    nubusnubus
    The article is right that this is likely a study by Apple (or CCIA for Apple).

    Professor Viswanath Pingali wrote something similar last year "India is not Europe" in a paper published for ICLE with 4 people from ICLE including the founder and a researcher that is close to Amazon. Viswanath Pingali was the only one being external. Together the five concluded that EU policies weren't in the best interest of India. He is also quoted by Google on how India should regulate Google less.

    ICLE is funded by Amazon, Meta, and CCIA - the lobby organization for the computer industry where Apple is a prominent member. He is simply on repeat adding his name and title to publications funded by the computer industry.

    The US federal government forced AT&T to provide its patents (including for the transistor) for free to other US companies.

    So it would be OK for the current White House occupant to say ASML should give up all of their research and development for competitive reasons. Some poor American company Intel (Spotify) needs in because they have problems keeping up with ASML (Apple)?

    Creating a popular product is never a problem. Using the monopoly to enter another market is.
    ASML doesn't require for TSMC to use buy wafers only from TSMC and with a 30% tax due to technology. Unlike Apple and well... Tetra Pak (and they got fined as well by the EU).

  • Trump gives Apple a giant break with wide-ranging tariff exemptions

    How much did he impose on Ukraine?
    10%. AFAIK Russia and North Korea were the only two countries excluded from the tariffs. 
    Cuba and Belarus are also members of the U.S. non-tariff zone. Ukraine - exporting less than Russia - got hit by 10%.
    There is a 20% tariff on SSDs but 145% on memory cards affecting U.S. photographers. Governments are not supposed to work like this or be allowed to.

  • Apple will take a $33 billion hit to its bottom line because of Trump tariffs

    I get why a lazy grifter will keep on grifting if he can get away with it, but what is impossible for me to wrap my head around is why so many people see his pathetic coward and fool that cares nothing about them as some sort of strongman and protector.
    It is indeed interesting. Went on two road trips to the Deep South. A lot of Confederate flags, Trump 2020 signs, counterfactual history museums, and a Code Orange when passing a local school as they had their second shooting in a week.  These people are scared of vaccines but like fracking and smartphones. They stand for the national anthem but see the attack on Capitol as required "to protect the values".

    Can it be fixed? I hope so.

    • Uninhabited islands hit by 29%. Those penguins and seals are so mean and unfair to U.S. workers.
    • Taiwan - not recognized by U.S. as a nation - got a tariff on their own. China is furious and U.S. products could become socially unacceptable. Hard to beat China on nationalism.
    • Israel got hit by 17%. Probably a bit unexpected to see Israel as an enemy to the U.S.
    We will have to see where this takes us.
