I hope Rapidus is successful. We need more suppliers in this market. There's way too much dependence on TSMC.

Sounds like a great time for Apple to do a massive stock buyback.

Mods... get rid of these political BS comments.  If I want that, I'll go to CNN or Fox News.  

Oddly enough we haven't had to delete that much. As if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

I appreciate the greater tolerance for comments being shown at this site relative to the past. Or at least it seems more tolerant to me, anyway -- maybe I'm wrong. 

These are unprecedented times and the idea that we should all restrict ourselves to commenting on technology, even though I obviously understand this is a technology-oriented site and the site owners can clearly moderate as they see fit, just seems tone deaf to me.

People in foreign countries stop buying US products because of Trump, this alone will hurt Apple.

Yeah, clearly the brand hurt most is Tesla, but the USA brand is also severely damaged, which affects all companies associated with the US.

Of course things are rough the day after. But let’s give it time to do what it’s going to do. There’s no arguing the USA has been unfairly treated in the world trading stage. Giving them some of their own medicine is necessary to level tje playing field. It’s not okay for us to pay sn ram dnd a leg to sell iverseas while they have it easy here. Or to be barred from selling there while they take over here. 

We can hold off our addiction to foreign goods for a short while so they can feel the squeeze and give ourselves strong legs to stsnd in moving forward. Short term pain got long term gain. 

With ford offering killer deals for the next 3 months the snd apple poised to sail through, I think we will be ok. Kinda me me wonder if anticipation of this isn’t why we have an m3 ultra instead of an m4 ultra. 

I can’t imagine there not being some communication about how to navigate this behind the scenes. The president and Apple’s CEO are brilliant people. 

Interesting to know that the kool-aid is still tasting good. I look forward to future updates.
