I think Apple had to wait until the administrative process ended (yesterday) and then that opened them up to going back to Court to put a stay on the ban.  It seems like in the prior case that ended in a mistrial, most of the jurors were going to side with Apple.  A new trial hasn't been set, so it makes sense for the Court to put the brakes on the import ban since the matter hasn't been fully adjudicated.

Very very cool.  This solidifies my reasoning to never buy (or rent if I can help it) a car without CarPlay support.

I wonder if Apple is letting, or going to let, automakers have a CarPlay OS (or maybe part of it) to run on their automotive computers.  Might help with all the displays since CarPlay is getting so extensive in the vehicle.

I was one who for years looked at Sculley with derision, but after seeing an interview or two (this was a decade or so back), that changed.  Yes, he was not Steve, but Sculley didn't harbor any ill will with Steve and I think did try pretty hard to move Apple forward.  Like others said, the Mac II line came out under his watch and later the PPC.  Both were pretty solid and well-regarded.

Apple was facing some major headwinds in the 90s in the market with Windows, especially when 95 came out, making it even tougher.  Of course Jobs came back and we all know what happened.  In addition to having a great OS in NextStep and his natural ability to understand what people wanted, he had grown as a business leader.

That's great Apple, but come out with an updated Apple Silicon iMac.  One in 24 or 27 (or larger) would be nice thanks!

Do customers really buy a car just for CarPlay support? That's backwards! Buy a car because the car is good, then figure out the audio system later. There are so many excellent aftermarket CarPlay solutions these days, and they're usually better than the OEM infotainment players. My car was built years before the iPhone existed, but I have installed a nice infotainment that can play a CD, a DVD, Bluetooth, AUX, CarPlay and it even has a USB-A slot so I can plug in a flash drive with movies/music. If you like a Buick but you don't like how how it doesn't have CarPlay, don't let that hold you back! You can always replace the factory infotainment with a better 3rd party option.

Yes they do, because I do. I will only buy a car that has Wireless CarPlay built-in. Your idea of buying an aftermarket system isn’t really workable because you end up losing too much functionality like back-up cameras, USB ports, and lots of other things that these infotainment systems provide. The aftermarket system will also provide most of the same functionality, but at a cost. You would have to use an aftermarket camera for example and an aftermarket USB port. In my opinion, it will be a worse experience compared to the factory locations. I would rather use the OEM cameras and the USB ports that come with the car.

Exactly.
