Not yet, we’ll see how things go if manufacturing is ever really brought to MURICA… 😉
How come yall complain every year “the same thing the same thing” but when there are ‘rumors’ about new redesign yall sway around again… lmao yall don’t even know what yourself want
You have to “dial” the number first 😂As soon as we stop saying we’re “hanging up” the call
China will strike a deal in our favor and Trump proven right by then. Not to worry. Unlike many here, I’d take liberty over safety or economic freedom over a new phone any day!
That’s probably a good disclaimer with all the craziness going on today. It’s like when I was young you could make jokes about certain things on a plane but now it’s taken seriously.
It’s an unpredictable world right now. Apple need to reduce their reliance on China.
We've had liberty, safety and economic freedom, as well as global cooperation..
Before it was blown up on purpose by an ignoramus.
if German is saying it’s going to be built in China that means it will definitely be built in India.
don’t talk about Biden so harshly, he was a victim of elder abuse
What does this even mean?
Apple in their entire history has released one anniversary product, the 20th anniversary Macintosh in 1997.
And that was the mid 90s Apple, before Jobs and Cook.
Yes, there was an iPhone X… but if you go back and watch that original introduction, they never say once that it’s an anniversary edition. It was just, that year‘s iPhone. And it’s remained at that same price ever since.
Yes, well it wasn't a death threat it was more of an observation that i'm not sure he'll live another 2 years in the condition he appears to be in.
It's not like there are a stack of people to follow up with the same ideas anyway. I don't think his voting base really needs him in-particular to lead the movement as such.
Wait, what? Is there really more to it than that after all? Who knew? Certainly not Trump.
"China's army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little, little screws to make iPhones"

It doesn’t bother me on the face of it that iPhones are made in China. The part that sucks is the condition in which the people work in. And us (immunity as guilty) seem to look the other way when it comes to getting an iPhone annually or semi-annually.

Biden made it 4 years with the cognition of a rug, and the physical strength of a fly. But alas, we dare question his ability to lead from 2020 to July 2024, when the media had an epiphany that he really was cognitively gone.
Well if it's not stupidly expensive might upgrade the following year to let them work out the kinks in this potential redesign.
questionable complexity to further the upgrade treadmill and the ongoing services revenue agenda?
Well, "communicator" has a Star Trek appeal, but it's five syllables instead of one
The "extraordinarily complex" aspect seems to only be a description of the manufacturing processes required, not that the new phone will necessarily be extraordinarily delicate as a result, unless the design will have the four edges of its display glass curve downward further, increasing the risk of damage to the glass if the phone is dropped and lands on one of those edges.
Iphone X was an amazing phone - FaceID was a gamechanger. Here's hoping Apple manages something as spectacular again.
I disagree... he could ride a bike at least which I can't imagine the fat orange one even trying. But even a rug is better than a self-dealing batshirt crazy lunatic and convicted felon.
Indeed... manufacturing takes focus, attention to detail.... and long boring work days. Today's younger workers here, who would fill these entry level jobs, have the attention span of a flea and can hardly sit through a tik tok video.

Patriotic MAGA will be happy to pay that for the base model. Inflation is suddenly good for the country.
