Why Apple won't buy TikTok, even to attract younger users
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLmbmoore said:
It isn’t just about being Trump-friendly. It’s about ceasing the almost outright ban on views that oppose extreme left dogma. Regardless of political persuasion, social media platforms should be neutral, allowing the free flow of information. The only rules that should exist are ones that enforce current laws regarding pornography, inciting of riots, and personal threats.rotateleftbyte said:It makes sense to me. Buying T-T will attract a whole new raft of scrutiny from Uncle Sam. Given the changes in Twitter and Facebook as they move to be more Trumpian Friendly, T-T's new owners will be expected to follow suit OR face 'the Spanish Inquisition' from Congress. The Oversight Committee could tie Apple up in lawsuits for years if they owned T-T and didn't start licking No 47's high heels.
As if they didn't have a big enough target on their backs as it is...
The same arguments would apply if Apple started its own search engine. I am sure that we will soon start seeing Google change its promotion algorithms to put his latest grift subject at the top of all result sets.
IMHO, it is far better for Apple to stay well clear of that part of the DC swamp. There be leopards ready to eat Tim Cook's face.
is Newsmax required to be neutral?
where the hell do you get off demanding the government enforce “neutrality” upon a website YOU USE FOR FREE, KAREN!
The First Amendment permits social media to be as biased as they wish. Don’t like it? Don’t go there boomer.

What matters most for AAPL shares next week
You’re not down anything until you sell at a lower price than when you bought.gwmac said:If memory serves regardless of how Apple performs their stock value goes down on these reports with a few exceptions. However, my apple share have taken a bruising in January. I am down over $400,000 just this month so I am hoping that it can at least stabilize on some good or expected news.
Short term holders of AAPL are buying or selling on rumors and gossip in the runup to 1/30. If you are looking for a quick hit, hold tight I guess. If your timeframe is anything longer, pay more attention to the period from about a week after earnings to 9 wks post-earnings, it’s more reflective of market sentiment.

iPhone 16 sales surge as Pro models lose their edge
SD slot on an iPhone will never, ever, ever happen.SuntanIronMan said:The only thing I really want from the 16 Pro that the 16 (Normal) doesn’t have is the ability to record video to an external drive.
(Well… I suppose I would likely need USB 3 speed for that. So I guess that’s two things, but I’ll count that as one.)
That would be a nice feature to have. However, I’m not interesting in paying $200 more for it. Instead of paying $200 more for a base 16 Pro, I can pay $100 more for 128GB extra (256GB total) storage for the 16 (Normal). And with 128GB extra storage, the ability to record to an external drive would be less of a concern for me. I would have 128GB extra to work with and not have carry around an external drive (and all that would have cost me $100 less than buying a 16 Pro).
Now… if Apple put an SD card slot on a future version of the Pro (and I could record video to that), that would be a significant reason for me to buy a Pro over a (Normal). I won’t hold my breath for that. BUT if Apple did do that, I would pay extra over the (Normal) for it.

Apple Maps still calls it the Gulf of Mexico, and politicians are upset
Meanwhile, it seems highly unlikely that Apple will change the name of the location because of one country's demands.Serious question: what if Shitler places a call to his good friend Tim Apple about it? Highly plausible scenario with Dictator-on-Day-One.
