MacPro

I see no reason for not having an Apple pro-level camera for stills on the iPhone. It's a no-brainer. I pick up my Sony A7IV and its various lenses less and less.

Oh it's pretty clear-- Korea is one of the biggest homers when it comes to business regulation.  Only China beats it.

Agreed.  Not to mention, "It's not clear why Apple got fined." I think that says it all. I stopped buying Korean junk a long time ago, and I wish others would, too, including cars, appliances, and especially electronics. 

I cloned one of my Macs' 1TB boot drive, an M2 Mac Studio Ultra, with Carbon Copy Cloner, and then upgraded it to Sequoia on June 10th. I've been using it ever since, and honestly, I'd forgotten I had. Everything just works. Initially, I looked for AI-type things but never came across any of the new things mentioned. I did see the new travel smart category in Photos, but that's about it. I assume there are AI features, but I have not found anything.  Adobe CC all works, as does everything else I've tried, including Parallels running Windows 11 ARM.

Can anyone explain the coffee mug reference? I'm a techie and I didn't get the joke.

I can't remember but did one of the original ads have him holding a mug with an Apple Logo on it?  As in; 'look, no Apple Logo now?'

I owned a software company at one time.  I'd have laughed if anyone had told me I could keep 70% of my sales revenue.  These companies bitching about the 30% have no clue about the overheads they'd face without the Apple Store.  Their solution is easy: leave the Apple Store and find out.
