100%! I have been stating this for at least 5 years. It truly boggles my mind that people/investors think Apple is innovating. Great sales? Sure. But Apple has been coasting on iDevices for at least 5 years if not 10.
Got a tip for us?

Not innovating ?
This is the company that keeps on spending substantial parts of their keynotes on things like Memojis and Genmojis, seemingly in the belief that its customers are credulous idiots who buy into this stuff.
Now that’s innovation.
The Mac Pro IS still made in Texas. Or what's left of the Mac Pro, anyway. 3x the starting price of a studio just for on-board PCI slots.
But it wasn't "that other country" causing the problem and the tariffs have been applied to the whole world. Apple also manufacturers things in India, Taiwan, and elsewhere (including the United States). None of that makes sense.
And you've got a better system? It really worries me to see all these people today trashing capitalism, like that's the real problem here. What's going to work better, communism?
I mean truthfully iPhones aren’t the first thing for me so much as most of the things I own or wear
I don't intend to let this thread slide into a discussion about the pros and cons of different social models, but I actually think anarcho-communism is the least evil for most people.
I'm all for Texit.🤠 Secession is in our blood, y'all.🤠 We left Spain (1821), Mexico (1835), the US (1861), and technically, the Confederate State of America (1865). We left 'Merica once, we could do it again.😂 I'm all for another 4 year Texit from 'Merica, this time without the unethical slavery baggage.
Every smart phone maker is screwed, they all will have to come close to doubling their price. This isn't just an Apple problem.
This had to be in the works for some time you don't rekey a factory in a month.
Yes, what was the world thinking by depending on the US so much. 🙄
China assembled pretty much everything for Apple.
We're not your babysitters. Time to take care of yourself. The free handouts are gone. USAID, all of that BS. It isn't our job to take care of healthcare in Africa.
The share of hardware at MS is comparatively small, they earn from their services and these are not yet affected by this idiotic trade war.
But that may change as the EU is considering a digital tax because the US exports $100bn more digital services to Europe than vice versa.
If this is taken into account, the trade deficit between the US and the EU is almost balanced.
whoa!? Is that the new iPhone 18 Pro Max? How much did that cost you?
Only $20, a month….. but I’m on a 16 year contract. 🤪

The timing is perfect for the iPhone Foldable, which gives Apple even more reason to charge $3,000 instead of the estimated $2,299 that’s been going around. Lol.
That was one of the most surprising things I'd ever seen. Ever.I hope Tim is getting value from his $1 million donation.
Nah. The flop of the vision BS has shown them they can't overcharge for gimmicks.
