US will not tolerate EU fine against Apple, says White House
shrave10 said:tiredskills said:shrave10 said:Appeal to what? A kangaroo court that always fines US companies guilty and EU companies innocent?
Incidentally, this fine is well short of 10% of global turnover. It's barely 1% of revenue in the EU. -
Apple's MagSafe isn't going anywhere
Xed said:sloth77 said:Xed said:proline said:You're probably right. It's sad, because with MagSafe half the electricity gets used to increase the entropy of the universe which raises carbon emissions for no reason. It is slow, it makes the phones bigger and heavier, and hardly anyone uses it. And yet, for so many years the only thing reviewers would say every September was "and it still doesn't have teh wireless chargez!". Apple doesn't want the big story in September to be that, so they will include the wasteful and useless thing.
But I don't agree that hardly anyone uses it - I suspect most people wirelessly charge.

None of those things are true as stated and most of the others have some truth to them but are lame duck statements, like "makes the phones bigger and heavier." -

New Magic Mouse said to fix everything that's been wrong with it for 15 years
foregoneconclusion said:The reason the charging port is on the bottom is due to the original removable battery option. The charging port is in the same location as the latch for the removable battery cover. That allowed Apple to save $$ by keeping the industrial design almost identical between the two different versions.
