Brace yourselves...Apple critics are activating their “concern” mode

Erm no. If there is a mode, it is 'opinion mode'.

What's yours?

Let me guess. If it had a Huawei logo on the back you would be heaving into a bucket but as it has an Apple logo on the back you love it!

Did I guess right?

As I implied, I'll wait to see if they manage to hide it somehow.

Ooohhh, so you’ve noticed that too? Where people barf when Android phones come up with certain features, while praising Apple for the same. Hahaha.

(Watch how someone will quote and claim: “Apple does it better. Not rushed to the market.” Even though it’s still the same feature.)

Diminishing returns is here. Apple’s planned obsolescence as well. Who will prevail? The customer who has no sense will.

Qualcomm can charge whatever they want for their products. If Apple does not like it they can get modems from someone else. But they won’t do that...being the most hypocritical company and all, that complains of high prices for modems while overcharging their customers.

For all those folks that berate and denigrate the "billio-nayahs" and "millio-nayahs", I hope they can pause a bit and reflect on -- heck, perhaps even thank? -- all those Bs and Ms that have stepped up to already fund almost half a billion euros for the reconstruction and restoration of Notre Dame. With possibly more to come.

Doesn't make up for decades of poor economic policy that favors the billionaire class and creates an ever-widening wealth gap where there are more billionaires minted every year and the middle-class shrinks and the poor get poor. A few good deeds (tax write-offs to boot) aren't a course correction.

The US has setup its infrastructure to benefit the wealthy only. Companies are all about pleasing their shareholders and giving their executives large sums of money. Can’t really go in a good direction if doing anything to please the working class ends in a negative stock. And lawmakers couldn’t care less for as long as their pockets are lined with cash.

Off Course. This is a political statement from Huawei than any kind of business talk, Apple has not and will not discuss with Huawei for any kind of chip.

Okay, Mr. Clairvoyant
