Apple doing the only thing anyone can do. American’s just have to wait for these psychopathic losers to get booted out of the White House, then get in behind any coherent effort to rebuild your democracy and economy…

A lot can happen in 60 days, but hey, you never want to miss a chance to fear monger.

Tim Cook predicted $900 million in extra costs because of the tariffs this last quarter. Apple paid $800 million that they would not have had to pay had these not been put in place. They're not getting that back.

He predicted $1.2 billion for the next quarter, because the SEC makes this kind of thing a legal requirement to report. Cook is more often right than Trump is.

Oh, and the 25% tariff on exports from India is now official.

Show me where the fear-mongering versus "this is happening now" is.

Exactly. We have the same coal range fired, small government climate change denialists down here in NZ running the show as well. The economy is going backwards and of course everything is blamed on their predecessors. They’ve even had Patel down to announce an FBI outpost a few days ago. How much longer do we have to put up with this fascist s$$t show 🫣.

Foldable screen phones are rubbish. Everyone I know who bought one regretted it and moved back to a standard screen soon after. Just buy an iPhone max or iPad mini. Hope Apple aren’t actually wasting capital on this. 

Disturbing how arrogant EU have become while also increasingly subject to foreign corporate influences like Meta. US government are also badly overstepping the mark under Trump and ruining their international relationships. Considering the US, UK and European countries have a vested interest in remaining competitive against Asia, you’d assume there would be a degree of collaboration but sadly they all appear to be led by the same old thick AF rich white boomers. One of the main reasons we all stick with Apple is the interoperability of their devices and relatively good data security. It has nothing to do with the country of origin - if Nokia or Motorola were competitive I’d just as easily have gone that way (eg I still prefer Garmin over Apple Watches) but the last time these and other EU tech firms were relevant was nearly 20 years ago…

Surprised they’re selling any mediocre 16e’s at all for that price.
