Apple made secret 5-year $275B deal with Chinese government
It’s not about all-US or not. It’s about not feeding totalitarian regimes with an agenda to take over the world at any cost — military force included. And there is in principle no price that’s too high to pay to avoid that. So, to satisfy your pragmatic curiosity let’s say 1000%, depending on how imminent the hostile takeover is.12Strangers said:Just a curious question, since the subject seems to be manufacturing in a different country.
How much more would you be willing to pay to buy all US manufactured Apple products? 15%, 20%, 30%
I am truly just curious.
To all you speculative daydreamers in this thread: For god’s sake wake up. It’s time to pull the tongue out of that Chinese butt hole.

Apple reportedly telling suppliers demand for iPhone 13 has slowed
Wow, you are seriously confused and just jabbing at everything now. There is no connection between an opened iOS, side loading, removed tech restrictions and Apple’s capacity to innovate as you are implying here.OutdoorAppDeveloper said:
Do not mistake the opinions of the Apple fans that post here with those of the vastly larger number of Apple customers who don't care what you, I or Apple thinks. They just want something new, shiny and exciting to buy. Apple used to supply all three of those but now it can only manage the first two when it comes to iPhones (the new M series processors are quite exciting and are in the process of disrupting the computer industry.)williamlondon said:
Seems some on here took a very wrong turn early in their journey that led them here. You'd think that nearly universal disagreement with every post would be a big clue unless it's deliberate and rhymes with 'roll'.tmay said:
Your post is, comical, to state the obvious...OutdoorAppDeveloper said:Perhaps if Apple opened up iOS, allowed side loading, removed most of the technological restrictions and generally made iOS into a real operating system (software designed to allow users to operate their computer system) iPhones would suddenly become really exciting again. I have to wonder why Apple's board of directors is allowing the management to prioritize control over profits?
Also, I and my 99.999% fellow customers would not be happier with the solution you suggest — but quite the contrary. So how would you and your fellow 0.001% be able to afford an iPhone at a price roughly 100 000 times higher than today if you were to drive all the sales?
I think you are looking at the wrong shelf in the smart phone store, @OutdoorAppDeveloper Android phones are further down the alley.

FTC sues to block Nvidia's $40B acquisition of Arm
@darkvader ;darkvader said:rob53 said:If this acquisition is allowed it makes no sense why Apple’s App Store is being forced to open up. Apple has every right to run its products the way it wants to. Nvidia owning ARM affects multiple computing companies not just its own.Nvidia owning ARM is a terrible idea, and should be stopped.And that has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Apple and their app store. Apple has NO right to run MY iPhone the way it wants. It's MY iPhone, not Apple's iPhone. And because it's MY iPhone and not Apple's iPhone, Apple should not be allowed to have any say whatsoever about what software I choose to run on MY iPhone. If you want to only get software through Apple's app store on YOUR iPhone, that's your right. But neither you nor Apple should have the ability to stop me from getting software from any source of my choosing.And the same thing goes for in-app purchases. MY iPhone, not Apple's iPhone. It's only Apple's until they sell it. Then it's MINE, not Apple's any more. It's well past time for Apple's app store monopoly to be busted.
What are you complaining about? There is no one disagreeing with you. It’s YOUR phone, so do what the heck YOU want with it. Throw it into a wall if YOU want. WE don’t care, and Apple doesn’t care.
But don’t for a second think you can do whatever you want with Apple’s iOS. Because you for sure never bought that. If Apple says you are allowed to modify parts of it, by for ex installing certain apps inside of it, then that’s because they allow you to. The same thing goes for any other software from any other developer on YOUR smart phone or YOUR computer. When was the last time you complained about the rules Facebook set up regarding Facebook-installable apps? Or plugins for MS Office? Or skins in Fortnite?
iOS comes preinstalled on YOUR iPhone, but if you don’t like the way it works, and the way Apple lets you use it, then you are free to install any other OS of your choice on YOUR iPhone. Heck, YOU could even make one YOURself. Just don’t expect anybody to assist you in that. It’s YOUR choice, YOUR device freedom, and YOUR consequences.
Can you stop whining about nothing now, and get back on topic? You know, nVidia vs ARM etc.

Compared: Apple's 16-inch MacBook Pro versus MSI GE76 Raider
Of course this has a profound effect on the benchmark numbers, especially the ray tracing / OpenCL. If the rastered image matrices weren’t matched, no true comparison can be made between the two machines.hucom2000 said:I wonder if the screen resolution played a part? Would the MacBook Pro have been faster with the resolution set to roughly half at 1080 down from 3456?Maybe that explains Apple’s marketing claim.
