Great, but now Apple really needs to offer an Apple One plan without Arcade.  Why does Apple think everyone wants Arcade?.  I would like a reasonably priced Apple One that bundles ATV+, Music and iCloud+.  Why is this so difficult for Apple marketing to offer? Not everyone wants to play games.

Apple One is cheaper than the iCloud, TV+ and Music subscriptions on its own.  Subscribe, pay less, ignore the games.

"USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" how is the USB Consortium not thoroughly embarrassed by this vomit?

Sounds good. Trade is the way to get the EU to stop hurting American companies. 

No extra taxes on big tech is s good stsrt, but we need WAY more than that. 

The baseline isn’t right now. It’s before the DMA. 

American companies are hurting the EU with policies that are completely unacceptable. 

Have you ever considered the fact that the world doesn’t see the US as the central source of truth, or standard? 

America is an arrogant, selfish nation and I’m actually really glad Europe has woken up with Trump. This includes a very important step in detaching ourselves from big tech gradually. It is not a trustworthy partner. 

Hmmmm, if America is an arrogant and selfish nation, how come we been spending so much on Europe’s defense? 

Because you wanted to.  The USA policy has explicitly aimed to limit European military investment in favour of its own hegemony.  It has greatly benefitted the USA's military industrial complex.

This sudden shift to demanding that other NATO members pay their own way is completely historically illiterate and strategically dense.  That said, I'm in favour of it.  If it weakens the USA, especially a USA headed by a fascist-inclined moron, then in the longer term the rest of the world wins.

2 years younger than Tim Cook.

Jeff Williams always seemed like a great guy.  Not flashy, just quietly getting the job done.

Crazy that the stock is up on this news, because it officially confirms that Apple ideas way behind. 

Is it (as the article says) true, that ChatGPT or Anthropic will run on device, so that they don’t get API data from Apple? 

Otherwise, it is no good news for Apple for long term. 

First point: no, this confirms nothing about Apple being "way behind"

Second: ChatGPT already runs via Siri without getting data from Apple or the user. Private Cloud Compute is server side, but independently verified to not be storing user data.

Third: How is giving users access to more private and secure models using Apple technology a bad thing for Apple?

OpenAI is an artificial intelligence company. If they want to figure out the identity of a user without an email address or IP address I'm willing to bet they can.

How, exactly?

Unless Apple fudge up the privacy, or your single anonymous query contains pretty direct personally identifiable information, they've got nothing.
