  • Trump hesitates over instituting China tariffs that would hurt Apple

    FYI: the current trade agreement with Mexico and Canada was negotiated by the 1st Trump administration. That Trump trade agreement is what replaced NAFTA. So if he thinks Mexico/Canada are taking advantage of the U.S., it's because his own deal was garbage. 
    Do facts matter with cultists? I am from India and in similar situation to you guys in terms of dealing with cultists. Facts just do NOT matter to them. Only difference - We are in a slightly worser position here in India. Cultists have elected same PM for 3rd consecutive term (yes, it is allowed here, unlike US). And the signs are not looking good for next election in 2029 either.

  • Apple's biggest innovation of the last 25 years isn't the iPhone

    TL;DR

    zzzzZZZZZZZZ
    Just the title was enough for me to figure out that it is from DED and that I should skip reading it.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook attending Trump inauguration after $1 million donation

    WOW after of the complete disaster of Biden & Harris, the US economy and the country itself brought to its knees there is still this insane hatred of Trump! Unbelievable. That's and opinion of someone in the UK looking at what has happened to the great nation of the USA of the last four years. Tim Cook knows big change is coming and all he is doing is positioning himself and Apple to take advantage of that.
    I don't expect you to do any research or read any actual news, but I would appreciate it you kept the douchey comments to a minimum.

    No, I don't read the propaganda, unlike you. You are looking and believing an illusion. You will learn, eventually. You hope Trump fails but he will not.

    Has Trump succeeded in making Mexico build that wall along the US border with their own money in his previous term? Or, is that planned for the current term? Or planned for some unknown date in future?

  • Meta seeking unfettered access to iPhone user data via EU DMA interoperability requests

    Maybe Apple should just let people install Android on iPhones in the EU, then you can let any company suck up as much of your data as you want.
    I bet there’s a group within Apple that’s been working on an iPhone with Android, as a “just in case” back up plan for the EU market. Apple still makes most it money from hardware sales. 
    This doesn't make any sense. Android won't run very well in iPhones due to lack of RAM. Even if the performance is adequate for 90%+ of the EU users due to ultra-fast A series processors and storage, it will still have poor battery life. And which company will work on optimizing Android to run reasonably well in iPhone? And who will provide software support? For how many years? Apple - Why would they waste their software team's efforts in dealing with Android? Google - Why would they do it (unless paid by Apple handsomely to do so, but in that case why would Apple want to lose money)? Any other 3rd party - Would they be competent enough to make Android run in iPhones and what is the benefit?

    Apple designs the hardware AND software together. And they always want to have as much control of the user experience as possible, relinqushing control as little as possible, that too only when absolutely necessary or mandated by laws. I don't think iPhones will get the ability to run OS from anyone else ever.

  • UK trial over Apple's App Store fees seeks $1.83B fine

    Europe is just stealing at this point! 

    Trump needs to do something about this. 
    Has Mexico built that wall along the US border by spending their own money?
