The robotic arm prediction may simply be a way to turn a camera to point at the action, much like Center Stage works at a software level.

There's no need for a camera to do that, as you point out.  But there is a need for a screen to do that.   It just doesn't have to be a built-in screen.  And Apple already announced APIs for robotic arms/stands at WWDC.

Sure, Donny, that happened.

That was my first thought, Why believe him at all?. 

I think it could be mostly true. CEOs are kind of like dictators so dealing with real dictators is often more comfortable for them than dealing with democratic governments, even if they might not like the dictator personally or agree with all of their policies. 

Of course it's a lie.   Because why?  Because I have more credibility than Trump.  Because why? Because I have zero track record of lying and Trump lied on record 30,000+ times while being POTUS.  Can't compare definitive liar to unknown quantity?  Sure you can.  Because why?  Because I said so.

The larger mega corportations play the system so it is good to see one of these, Apple, havng to pay their fare share of tax.  

That tax is ultimately paid by you, not by Apple.

That is just a bonkers interpretation.

Now the question is, will the next person be better? And beneficial for Apple

Those two things aren't necessarily, or likely, the same thing.  Or a single thing.
