I'm a big Apple fan, but the News app in general is quite a bit of a mess. Too many stories require jumping into a News web browser sub-interface, which have hosts of pop-ups, fly-overs,  repeated cookie confirmation windows. In-line News stories are frequently interspersed with the same ad placeholders; way too many repeated news stories from different sources; an article about fisting (yes fisting) appeared in the News feed, a few weeks after an article about women's vibrators. I'm not s prude, but really makes me wonder how this aggregation services is working.

Apple recently began iPhone 14 manufacturing in India - articles never really reference this… I have no idea as to capacity and while I’m sure it’s not close the China, I do wonder how much ramp up capability they have there to offset some of the slowdown in China…

Strange. Apple stores don't normally sell to resellers. Usually resellers have to go through Apple's business channel to make large purchases.

Apple has authorized resellers (cellular stores, big box, etc), though I suspect their purchasing process is NOT three big bags filled up at a retail location, purchased OTC.

I thought Apple didn't have many phones anyway with the meltdown happening in CHHHIIIINNNA....

what an annoying song...

Amazing they are still hiring, if even at a reduced level, given other tech layoffs. Continues to show that Apple maintains such a different value proposition to its customers, and seem to be far better planning resource requirements and assessing market conditions than many others.
