No because our system isn’t as corrupt it seems.
Hmmm. Okay. European businesses seem to think it is.
From the European Union‘s own website.
- Corruption is estimated to cost the European Union between EUR 179 billion and EUR 990 billion per year, amounting to up to 6% of its GDP.
- 70% of Europeans believe that corruption is widespread in their countries - an increase of 2 points compared to 2022 (2023 Corruption Eurobarometer Survey).
- 35% of EU businesses consider corruption to be a problem in doing business, (2023 Eurobarometer survey: Business’ attitudes towards corruption).
- 59% of EU business agree with the statement that bribery and the use of connections is often the easiest way to obtain certain public services, (2023 Eurobarometer survey: Business’ attitudes towards corruption).
Maybe then Spotify can consider paying their musicians more and stop trying to stiff them of a couple of cents of streaming revenue here and there.
Spotify made £56m profit, but has decided not to pay smaller artists like me. We need you to make some noise | Damon Krukowski
What its Wrapped campaign doesn’t say is that indie musicians and labels are treated terribly, and deserve a better deal, says Damon Krukowski
Apple hating is a term used to criticize anything that apple does and use it to show how the company and/or CEO is incompetent in an excessively hyperbolic way.
Not sure either.
Sure.
And that was due to the US government imposing a 100% tariff (up from the then current 25% tariff) back in early 2024 on imported EVs manufactured in China.
There was no way Apple could make a reasonable business case with that in effect. Apple pulled out shortly afterwards.
Exactly this. When you’re not agreeing or being critical at a company that’s showing very little progress, is charging you more and more and you see their software falling behind on all fronts, you must be a hater. A normal person would ask why you think so and ask about arguments to support those. He/she would also do some research on is own by trying to compare and trying to be objective.
Criticizing Apple is like throwing garlic to a vampire for some. You get a whole mantra about how satisfied they’re while totally ignoring why you’re not, you must be wrong 😅.
It’s creepy.
It's actually obscene and I'm no socialist.
Apple CEO Tim Cook earned $74.6 million in 2024, up from $63.2 million in 2023, Apple said in its annual proxy filing.
Cook's earnings included a $3 million base salary, $58 million in stock awards, $12 million in performance-based awards, and $1.5 million in other compensation, such as 401(k) contributions, life insurance premiums, vacation cash-out, security expenses, and personal air travel expenses. Cook is required by Apple to use private aircraft for both business and personal travel.
Apple set a target compensation of $59 million for Cook, but Cook earned more through the cash incentive payout that executives receive when Apple performs well.
Though Cook's 2024 compensation exceeded what he earned in 2023, it was still down from the $99 million that he was awarded in 2022. Cook and the Board of Directors opted to decrease Cook's total compensation after his 2022 earnings reached almost $100 million.
Other Apple executives, including Luca Maestri, Kate Adams, Deirdre O'Brien, and Jeff Williams, earned $27.2 million.

I think however much Tim gets paid (too much or not enough) will forever be clouded for folks by "how much money they have made on the stock"
It's a valid way to look at it, no question about that
I think for many of us who care primarily about the products and experience for customers, it's mostly secondary at best and there are lots of concerns about the actual future for Apple products and where they are/aren't investing time, money and attention.
Lots of valid concerns there given the track record of the last few years
Thank goodness ASi continues to be great

Oh please… Apple titan was a very costly mistake and too much to ask for a company that’s not able to get a working personal assistant in 13+ years.
If the brains of a car won’t work… the rest is useless.
In the meantime many competitors introduced a very smart well built EV. Xiaomi for example introduced their avatar. So did Huawei.
If those cars weren’t banned from the US market to protect GM, Ford the car market would look totally different in the USA today. Same for BYD, Zeekr, etc.
Apple wouldn’t stand a chance and that’s why they killed Titan.
Macpro, iMac 27”, Siri, AI, Final Cut Pro, motion, logic, iPhone SE, AVP you can also add to the list. There will be more …
CarPlay
The AVP one is particularly egregious given the reports of the major internal disagreements about releasing it at all
I can't even believe how much the narrative has shifted on that one.
From this below (Vanity Fair special coverage) to "no longer being manufactured in under one year of being released"
Tim really wanted this to be his iPhone moment
The man is super image conscious ... so agreeing to be photographed like this really tells the story of what he was hoping it would be.
First generation HomePod was a failure too.
Then a few messages later..
Fact free, no backing yourself up in sight.
You talk the talk yet do not walk the walk.
Given this push people should be thankful competition exists. In fact according to some, apple is in last place already so according to them your concern is justified.
Me? I’m not worried.
After a year or so they stopped producing them. Seems like a failure to me if that product was in a high demand 🤔
And to confirm it failed:
5 reasons the original Apple HomePod failed
Apple’s first smart speaker just met a sudden, surprising end, but it was one we could see coming.

Well… the USA ranks higher than most European countries on the corruption list.
U.S. fails to improve its standing in fight against corruption
