  • China calls Trump's trade war a joke, jumps tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%

    The call from China will never come. This guy thinks he is king of the world, But this is true only in his imagination. I am afraid, the way he is treating his best allies will make America lonely and without friends. And the worst af all, his amateurism is destroying the best company in the world: Apple

  • How and where Trump's new tariffs affect Apple

    Not to mention the lower sales in Europe if EU decides to raise retaliation import tariffs on USA firms . It means 20% higher prices for all Apple products. So the consumers in Europe then may decide to buy Galaxy phones, because the prices of them will be 20% lower than an iPhone
    Not quite. Because iPhones are made and imported from China, the raised EU tariffs (only on US products & services) wouldn't apply on them  -> iPhone prices would just increase for US consumers.
    You now see that the EU market (the biggest in the world) will be even more important to Apple than ever before

    I hope you are right!
    But don’t forget the Apple services:
    Apple TV, AppleMusic, iCloud…
    they will also go up. 
    Any way, a price increase on Apple products in USA, Europe or wherever in the world is a bad news for Apple and I regret it very much.

    The end of so called “fact checkers” is a welcome relief for true free speech. When one person, or group, has the power to decide what is ‘true’ or not, we are all in trouble. See exhibit one: China, or even worse, North Korea. We all need to fight against this sort of abuse of money and power, and while I am not a huge Facebook fan, I’m glad that they are following X’s lead in allowing free speech. 
    Exactly. Especially when the so called fact checkers have the facts wrong.  
    A fact is a fact because is THE FACT: something that really has happened! 
    The fact can’t be wrong or right!
    The fact is the reality, the truth. 
    And the factchecker is there not to say if the fact is wrong or right but to check if it has really happened or not. 
    So, if you are talking the truth , why should be afraid from factchecking ?

  • The dream of an all-glass iPhone will have to wait a bit longer

    In ten years time it will yet be another phone from Apple, iPhone 33. It will look similar to iPhone 16 and all the phones preceding it, make phone calls, take pictures and run apps and oh yes the keyboard will be bloody awful. 

    Nothing radically new on the horizon. Still milking the Steve Jobs vision. 
    And it twenty years time, you guessed it, iPhone 55. Doing pretty much the same. 
    Are you expecting an iPhone, that’s able to make also a pop corn or maybe a pizzas?
