Just an observation:

Tim Apple isn’t actually waiting for robotic arms to bring iPhone assembly to the United States. Saying “I need to have the robotic arms.” is a kind of diplomatic tech executive way of saying “Sure, I’ll do it… when pigs fly!!!”

Somehow Lutnick thought Cook was expressing a genuine desire. Cook has no plans at all of bringing iPhone assembly to the United States. Lutnick, you need to learn how to read between the lines.

I’m leaning towards the iPhone 17 Air as my next phone. But not for the thinness or anything like that. It’s specifically the C1 modem. For specific international cellular network compatibility travel reasons, the C1 modem is more useful for me than the Qualcomm modem. That’s a very niche reason and not super relevant to most people. But it’s enough for me to lean towards anything with the C1. If the 16e (with its C1) had a few more bells and whistles (MagSafe and the UWB chip)… I already have quite a few MagSafe and AirTag products though, so hopefully the iPhone 17 Air will be what I need (C1, MagSafe, UWB).

While the C1 lacks select features, such as mmWave and Wi-Fi 7

While you are correct that the C1 lacks Wi-Fi 7, that’s because the C1 has nothing to do with the WiFi (regardless if it’s WiFi 6, 6E, or 7).

Give us multiple User login accounts already. And on the iPhone too.

I’m not sure why this reply got 0 Likes and 3 Dislikes. At the risk of getting multiple dislikes as well: Yes, please. Multiple user logins would be great on iPad. If we could get just one macOS-like features on the iPad, that’s the one that I really want/need.

Why would you want to share your phone like that? In an era where your cell phone has your whole life on it that gives whoever you are sharing with access to a lot of personal data if they know your account info.

Would the parents of very young children like to answer mccargos’ question? lol 

Scenario: Doctor’s office. Parent is waiting for an appointment. 4 year old child is bored out of their mind, running around and won’t be quiet.

Parent: “Stop that. Here. Take this.” *hands kid the iPhone*

Child: *quietly plays a game on parent’s iPhone*

Other patients waiting: *sighs of relief* 

Not wanting to share access to everything on your device is the exact reason why people want multiple user logins.

Darn, that looks cool.

I say “Darn” because I have an iPhone and iPad to use as controllers, but not a Windows PC or the supported consoles to actually play it, lol.

I guess using GeForce NOW is an option. But… I don’t need any additional subscriptions in my life.
