Phil Schiller recounts concerns over App Store fees for external purchases in hearing
Steve Jobs had claimed that Apple would run the App Store at break-even. I don't know if he would have maintained that position over time, given the amount of money that would have left on the table.
Another Steve Jobs position was that Apple would not do a dividend or share buy backs. He liked maintaining a cash cushion for security and investing in the business.
Maybe both positions were unsustainable, but it would have been interesting to see how SJ would have handled these things, had he lived. -
Apple to build AI servers in Houston, invest $500B in U.S. economy
rob53 said:Why in Texas? People thought Apple's products were getting too expensive, just wait for products coming out of Texas. They will break everyone's budget. Who in Texas will actually work at this manufacturing facility? Will everything be automated? Where will the people for these 20K come from, India? Who's going to build the facility? Not the hardest workers from south of the border. trump made sure of that.
