 to pay 2.5 percent or less on billions in revenue

Hey AI, how many times do people have to tell you that companies pay corporation tax on profits not revenue, before you get it?

I’ve got my fingers crossed that Apple is working on a bit of a revamp, rather than they are just waiting to stick new processors in the same case. I’m hoping that they will carry over the display technology from the MacBook - the display on a 15” MBP is one of the most power-hungry components so implementing something more efficient would give the MBP even greater battery life. Or, they could put in a smaller battery to make the MBP even lighter whilst giving the same 9 hour battery life.

Well, fwiw, f.lux is for jailbroken devices only (iOS), so first of its kind for iOS approved color temp control.

F.lux were distributing their software as a side-load on to any iOS device, jailbroken or not, until Apple told them to stop it. 

The way the article is written suggests that Apple came up with the concept, but this is clearly not true.

Night Shift is a first-of-its-kind tool

What? You guys are drinking something funny over at AI HQ. First we have yesterday's dire Surface Pro bashing article, and now this?

f.lux. Heard of it?

changing the rules of the game after the fact

No, this is not about "changing the rules”. It is about applying the rules as they always have been. Ireland may have reached a deal with Apple that was in actual fact illegal, i.e. against the rules, as the rules always have been. No rules have changed. The EU is just trying to apply the existing rules.

Now, on a separate note - AI, will you please stop using “revenue” when you mean “profit”. These two things are not the same. Companies pay tax on profits, not revenue.
