#22I don’t know what I would be need to be paid (via ad income or whatever means) to be a life and times of Big Tech X chronicler.
Lick a butt that you like and you will not need to work a day in your life.

#23That is a generous assessment of Tim Cook’s reign at Apple and especially of his character. I found it a real pleasure to read.

#24I was thinking about the upcoming regulation about replaceable batteries in the EU, and couldn't help but think that if I were Apple's CEO this would be a great time to make an orderly exit. Make no mistake, I'm not a fan of i-Devices' non-replaceable batteries, but I can't remember a single device with a lid for batteries on the back that was aesthetically in the same league as an iPhone.
As far as I know it should be pretty easy for Apple to comply with the regulation. The battery needs to be replaceable with standard or freely available tools and without adhesives. Many of Apple’s devices already meet this standard. Edit: I'm not sure on the adhesives part. Apple uses an electrically-releasable adhesive in some of their newer products. The MacBook Neo doesn't use battery adhesive at all. There are c…
What? Which? Huh? Absolutely not. So many of them have adhesives I dont think almost any of them meet your criteria.

#25Until now Apple hasn't addressed the mass market in nearly two decades. That's one human generation, and it is also the span of time between when something first hits and when it sees its first retro revival. That isn't a coincidence. I'm starting to get a little excited! This is going to be quite a decade.

What a wild take. I guess that explains the massive and growing popularity of iOS over that same time period.

Didn't the Apple Faithful say the same for usb-c?
The Apple Faithful will always defend whatever Apple does, it's not terribly useful to listen to them.
It's the Apple Faithful who criticize Apple that are worth listening to.

#27> “When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI.” I just have to call out how much this impacted my mom’s life. She’s 100% blind and has access because of her iPhone and iPad. Yes she learned JAWSs and literally took classes to do it. Every single windows update has made it so she’d have to retake this class. The iOS updates a rocky but she isn’t literally hamstrung. My…
The first time I saw a blind person using an iPhone, I was blown away. I follow some Apple engineers who work on accessibility, and they all seem very passionate about their work. It’s an area where I truly believe Apple is doing it to help people, not just for profit.

The iPhone 4 was easily disassembled with screwdrivers...
