    To add some facts to the general slamming of the so called extortion racket. Don't get me wrong - I love Apple products but they have been skirting their responsibilities for a long time like many other multi nationals. I don't like taxes either (I live in France....) but at a certain point we have to say its enough when corporations pay next to nothing for Billions in profits. Have a look at what happend in Ireland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Irish_arrangement
    Yes you are 100% right, big thumbs up!

    I live in a country that is a member of EU. We love Apple but I think Apple/Ireland should pay what they owe. EU laws for member countries are quite clear and I don't see why Ireland and Apple should be pardoned for that. Apple paid only 0.5 - 1% of taxes while other companies in EU need to pay WWAAAAAAY lot more... Laws in the EU are clear and valid for all EU member countries. In this case EU member countries are not allowed and cannot give any unfair tax conditions to selected companies.

    I think Apple/Ireland made lots of profit based on braking that law. Apple is rich as f**ck and I am getting sick when big corporations want more and more while the world goes to hell, rich become richer and middle class is disappearing. We are lucky for strong middle class and all the working-benefits in EU and most of that we have to thank to EU and I would like to keep that... So yes Apple you need to pay what you owe and please keep doing great products.

  • Inside iOS 10: Apple Maps will remember where you parked your car

    Tim, I love all things Apple, but, MAPS, sucks. It just can't get it done. Go for the good stuff, drop this and partner with, Ugh, Google, who can get you there, and on time. Some things are just not worth the effort.. This is one, Tim
    Exactly! Pretty much useless for driving direction because SIRI can't spell most of the streets and places in different Europe countries, finding businesses location is virtually impossible as it's not there inside the Maps. Not sure how it works in USA but in Europe it's useless. Google's Maps is miles ahead over here.

  • KGI says 'iPhone 7' won't have 'many attractive selling points,' predicts competitors to outperform

    I am an iPhone guy from the first iPhone forward. I think I had about 4 or 5 different models so far, currently with iPhone 6s. If Apple is just going to update CPU and Camera again and add some new OS X features/apps that nobody uses then I am going to seriously thing about going for Samsung. I have looked at Samsung Galaxy phones at my friends for years and they were far behind iPhone. But now have seen the latest Galaxy I must admit it's not crap and it's even better then iPhone. Here's where I think it tops iPhone 6s:

    - It's waterproof!! This is about the best thing you can have with the phone. I had to throw away two iPhones because sweat and snow destroyed them!
    - Display. Not looking at any specs, just seems much nicer when looking at it.
    - Camera is better
    - Charging is much faster, nice feature to have...

    Apple should step up with this.
