Apple mixes retro and modern in WWDC swag bag
Isn’t swag bad for the environment or is it all carbon neutral?

Trump trade war delays Apple Intelligence's debut in China
I just use the free version of ChatGPT for engineering analysis and it does really well. It is like having an interactive textbook.blastdoor said:
Srsly. I use the enterprise version of ChatGPT almost every day for real work. All I’ve used apple intelligence for is Genmoji.9secondkox2 said:China gonna China. But it's not like everyone is clamoring for th current version of Apple's AI.Anybody arguing Apple isn’t behind is either a hopelessly delusional fan or just knows nothing about what others in this field are doing.

Apple appeals against EU mandate that it freely share its technology
I don’t know about the history of the EU’s antitrust but in the US we have had antitrust laws for about 130 years and reviewing the famous cases of IBM and AT&T you will see that all those hypotheticals you listed were basically done to those two companies.darelrex said:
Is there anything the EU could possibly demand of Apple that you would not call "leveling the playing field"? Should Apple's chip team be required to provide chips to Apple's competitors? Should Apple be required to license iOS to its competitors? Should it be required to allow installation of alternate OSes on iPhone and iPad? Do you have any sane legal theory of which features of its products a company should be allowed to control, and which it should be forced to turn into third-party flea markets — or do you say "leveling the playing field" when you really mean leveling Apple with any frightfully damaging fairness fantasy that comes down the regulatory pike, simply so that Apple won't be so successful any more, and the playing field therefore will be more "level"?avon b7 said:
The EU has every right to level playing fields and counter consumer harm and the stifling of innovation.

Whirlpool and Maytag are the same company.9secondkox2 said:
And yet whirlpool isn’t forced to share its tech with Maytag or vice versa.chelin said:
Tell that to car or appliance makers.. all industries are regulated wherever they arerob53 said:Apple owns its products not the EU. The EU has no right to dictate to Apple how its products operate. As I’ve said before, the EU has every right to build their own platforms but it’s obvious they don’t have the ability or talent to design and manufacture anything people, including those in EU countries, want. It’s time to boycott everything made in the EU but I’m not so sure there’s actually anything they make I really want.
