  • USB-C on iPhone 15 might still require MFi certified cables

    Even on iPhone now. There is nothing forcing the use but encouraging it

    Jeff Williams has too much on his plate already.  So if indeed he does eventually replace Cook and take on more responsibilities, who will replace Williams in the position he has now?  This is an important consideration in light of Apple's amazing success under Cook.  Butterfly keyboards and bad mouse charging ports be darned, AAPL has done so well under Cook it lights one's pants on fire.  Naturally, we all hope their string of successes will continue into the foreseeable future.
    I don’t think this is a permanent move. I think the executive management team wants to be more hands on for now. It gives Williams time to get to really see how the team performs individually and to possibly train someone to take on the roll down the road

    It’s fake optics to make it look like the administration is addressing inflation. 
    You do know that inflation has decreased 4 months in a row. Ironically the gas prices here jumped  as much as 40 cents to the exact same price the night before the election, then suddenly fell back to the falling prices. Well, all of the stations run but big oil. Walmart and their partner stations did not go up. I think the hater companies have gotten in the ears of the right people and the administration doesn’t understand the whole picture. 

    Just like the chips and the supply chain issues, the eggs are a problem we are lucky to have Biden because he actually will work to find a solution. When half of the chickens are dead from avian flu, there is going to be an egg shortage. 

    Dude is far from perfect as shown here, but he is effective

    Now, if he could just “think different” about unions. 
    It’s a complicated subject. Unions don’t always benefit union members and are ripe for corruption. Having a union doesn’t guarantee better performance for the company or the employee. There are a ton of trade offs. I know plenty of folks that are in various unions and the results greatly vary. 

    One could argue that Apple employees benefit from the stability that Apple is providing with how leadership is running the company, especially in the current economic climate. That was also true during the recession. Apple did better than most. That being said, they have certain blind spots when it comes to remote employees, and a couple other areas. It isn’t black/white. There’s a lot of gray. We are dealing with human beings and human beings don’t always act altruistically. 
    I think if it wasn’t for their views on remote employees they would have hired far more people like their competitors and then dumped them when things got tight. Physical products designs and deep integration suffer with remote work. It shows over the last 3 years. Apple knows what they are doing.
