How Apple's use of eucalyptus in Apple 2030 is controversial
My sincerest apologies. I knew I was drinking more coffee recently, but I wasn’t aware that I caused a shortage. How embarrassing!mpantone said:Lol, maybe they can plant more coffee plants, there's a shortage of beans right now.
I promise I’ll cut back… after this next cup…

Uncertainty returns for Apple as Trump tariff pause halved for countries not making a deal...
How on earth can every country on earth possible manage to negotiate 194-ish separate deals with America in just 90-days? Even if every country wanted to make a deal immediately (right this very moment), does America have enough negotiators to manage 194-ish separate negotiations simultaneously?
More than 194-ish deals if the tariffed-penguins of the uninhabited islands near Antarctic also need to negotiate. Does America have any negotiators who speak Penguinese? Or did all the woke Penguinese speakers get DOGEed-out of the government because they were too DEI?
In an infinite multiverse of possible timelines, how did we manage the end up in the absolute stupidest one?

Tariffs not stopping Americans from wanting new iPhones with Apple Intelligence
Trump’s tariffs were announced well before “Liberation Day”. Trump’s tariffs were announced well before the election. I know many people don’t take Trump seriously when he says things, but he made it perfectly-clear in the run up to the election that tariffs were coming if he were elected. Tariffs were one of the few policy positions that he did make 100% perfectly-clear.AppleZulu said:
Without seeing the actual Morgan Stanley report, it's hard to know for sure what any of this actually means.retrogusto said:
The fact that they grouped foldables together with thinner phones could be muddying the waters. I have no interest in foldables, but the way the phones keep getting thicker and heavier is probably the biggest reason why I’ve been hesitant to buy a new phone in recent years—none of the new features matter to me as much as the compactness, so for my purposes the phones get a little worse with each new model, or at best a different set of compromises.DAalseth said:I don’t know what MS is smoking but those numbers make absolutely no sense to me. I’ve seen a lot of surveys and analyst’s reports in the last few months and consistently Foldable’s have been a tiny niche product, and AI is WAY down the list of important items.The responses for Apple Intelligence are more surprising to me, but I’m glad some users are finding value there.
Most importantly, the text of the article here does not support the headline at all. It's pretty unjustified to derive the headline "Tariffs not stopping Americans from wanting new iPhones with Apple Intelligence" from a survey that was likely conducted before the announcement of tariffs on China and that also doesn't appear to mention tariffs in the actual survey results. There is certainly no indication in the article here that Morgan Stanley's survey or investor note referenced tariffs. Also, the article does mention that the previous Morgan Stanley survey on this subject was over six months ago in September. At that interval it seems highly doubtful much or any of the data for the current survey was collected after Trump's "Liberation Day" announcement less than three weeks ago. Put all that together, and there's nothing at all to suggest that survey respondents were even thinking about tariffs when they answered some questions about iPhones.
I’m old enough to remember all the way back to… early-December 2024… when people were already pulling-forward certain big ticket purchases in anticipation of Trump’s tariffs.
Heck, arguably Trump’s tariffs were announced decades ago when Trump was talking about tariffs on Chinese goods back in the 1980s. -
Senator Warren asks if Apple CEO Tim Cook's Trump playbook is blatant corruption
Unless the definition of “career politician” has changed recently, that is false. She is not a career politician. She was first elected to political office at the age of 63. She spent the majority of her career in academia. Which… I know “academia” is also a word that will trigger some people’s feelings.zeus423 said:Warren is a career politician. I’m sure she’s very familiar with corruption.

No escape, no control: A 'Severance' keyboard is coming soon
The people that will buy this keyboard will want it to be as impractically-accurate to the TV series version as possible. This is exactly what they want. They want the lack of CTRL. They want no CTRL. Having CTRL would 100% defeat the purpose of this product.randominternetperson said:I don't understand this product.
Without Command/Ctrl/Windows/alt/option keys it's essentially useless. Also having the trackball buttons above the trackball? Who would actually (try to) use this keyboard?
