Answer these as honesty as you can?

If you make a mistake at work, how would you like to be treated? 

Do you ever make mistakes?

These are C-Suite executives for a three trillion dollar market capitalization company. When someone like them gets fired, they leave with millions of dollars as a severance package. If it’s Tim Cook, it’ll likely be tens of millions of dollars (maybe even hundreds of millions). They’ll be treated just fine.

Foldable iPad makes perfect sense. Avoid having to carry a separate keyboard-as-a-case. 

A foldable iPhone is a waste of time and money on a phone that by 2026 will reach the 20th anniversary of a product that has been milked just as long. Why not invest the resources on a new product to excite the Apple devotees? 

I mean, that’s easier said than done. Just make an exciting new product category. No problem.

New products to excite were going to be the Apple Car and the Apple Vision Pro. For former is obviously not going to happen anymore and the latter is… well… it’s a new product.

And Apple is investing resources now on another new product. It’s called Apple Intelligence. And… it’s… also new.

Wait, what? “Rumor Score: Likely”, but what’s the rumor?

I feel silly asking because it seems like I’m missing something super obvious. But I did read the article twice and I don’t actually know what the rumor is. Or is the rumor simply that Apple will try harder and nobody will get fired?

I have an easy way to detect a scam text message. I ask myself this one question:

Is it a text message? If yes, then it’s a scam. 

Obvious exceptions for self-initiated 2FA and friends/family. But otherwise just assume all text messages are a scam and delete it. And even with some friends/family… I’m sure I’m not the only one with an extended family member of… questionable-integrity, lol. 

Crushing rival’s flagship offerings? If only that was enough reason to keep the Mini around.
