  • Apple's $500 billion US investment announcement is business as usual

    But still all the components have to be imported, as not much is made in the US anyway. -Another Foxconn white elephant?

    Apple should've just started shutting down Apple Stores in Indonesia, and giving the impression of pulling out of Indonesia completely (while announcing to increase investments in surrounding countries), and I'd bet that Indonesia would have suddenly found it in their heart to permit iPhone 16 sales. ;-)

    China tried the same "we can't approve sales" trick with the iPhone 4 (if I recall correctly), and relented after Steve Jobs embarassed them by continually listing how many of those iPhones were operating in China, despite not being on sale ;-)

    Indonesia is just being greedy, and they need to face the reality of losing it all....
    Shut down Apple Stores in Indonesia? How many Apple Stores do you think are in Indonesia? I won’t keep you in suspense. It’s zero. There are no Apple Stores in Indonesia.

    Losing it all? Lose what? The iPhone 16 is already banned (currently). Indonesia already did that. Is Apple going to say “If you won’t let us sell you the iPhone 16, then we’re… not going to… sell you…the iPhone 16… oh… never mind.”
    You know America First..... If other say something similar it is terrible and obstruction of business...... Rumor has it that US will ban air from indonesia.

    Just slap 25% tariff on imported audio and video from US. providers and producers. 🤔 -That will be the next thing MAGA will do so everything is made in America.

  • Tim Cook meets with President Trump at the White House

    Slap on some tariffs, as much as you want, and Apple consumers will cough up the cash—because you can bet the shareholders won’t be the ones taking the hit. The King’s tax always rolls downhill!
