    I hope they didn't ship that logic board in the photo to a customer considering the ISO ESD protocols you are required to follow in a production environment.

  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    If he meets shareholders future expectations he will stay, if he doesn’t he will go. It is as simple as that.

    0 percent for US companies into Vietnam is incredible

    The fact Vietnam is wiling to agree to this show the ominous power of America 
    It shows that the demand for US imports is so negligible that it doesn't matter.

  • Apple rumored to be in talks with Anthropic and OpenAI about powering new Siri

    Crazy that the stock is up on this news, because it officially confirms that Apple ideas way behind. 

    Is it (as the article says) true, that ChatGPT or Anthropic will run on device, so that they don’t get API data from Apple? 

    Otherwise, it is no good news for Apple for long term. 
    First point: no, this confirms nothing about Apple being "way behind"

    Second: ChatGPT already runs via Siri without getting data from Apple or the user. Private Cloud Compute is server side, but independently verified to not be storing user data.

    Third: How is giving users access to more private and secure models using Apple technology a bad thing for Apple?
    OpenAI is an artificial intelligence company. If they want to figure out the identity of a user without an email address or IP address I'm willing to bet they can.
    Well, the biggest problem with this statement is that they've got a deal saying that they won't access or use any data submitted by users via Apple. Second, I really don't understand what your statement is trying to convey... that OpenAI has some kind of magical superpowers thanks to its AI? That's not really what AI is or does.
    All the way back in the mid90s they were able to write code that used stylometric analysis to identify the anonymous author of the book Primary Colors. That was with the technology of 30 years ago.

    Apple Silicon M5 coming out in the fall or Siri being 20% smarter which would you choose and which one do you think the public would care more about right now? AI which is currently half hype, half fad and is unprofitable currently for everyone other than Nvidia, or Apple Silicon and the five operating/ecosystems being better than they were last year without AI is probably more important long-term than Siri being like Robbie the robot in Forbidden Planet. 

    Apples path is going to be longer because they are carrying the load of software and hardware in house that’s just the way it is and there is no shortcut.

    The general public doesn't care about either.

    Nothing magical about it. Also you aren’t given a guarantee of privacy. Apple doesn’t purchase a surety bond on their customer’s behalf that indemnifies them if their privacy is breached.
