Awww... I was so much hoping for an iPhone that will fit into my pocket. The 1st iPhone SE was the perfect form factor. But no, Apple's phones just had to grow and grow and grow like cancer ... In my opinion, the fact that Apple is now selling a bag to carry your oversized phone around in, is an admission that they failed to make phones that are convenient to carry.

Your comment is the actual prowar propaganda though in my europeean eyes. The US is worse than China in many aspects, from forever wars to climate over colonialism to fascism and support for an ongoing extremely violent genocide on over a hundred thousand civilians, - where is China geonociding hundreds a week right now? Yeah nowhere, but the US is doing that every decade. Incredible to see this angle that 'the good…
I feel like in geo-politics. No country can be good. Personally, I feel like america still has (had) hope with zohran mamdani but after the recent american shutdown, I would consider democratic party to be an extension of republican party or not doing anything radical except bernie,aoc, zohran and some other people. I feel like America could have a hope to swing whereas china doesn't imo. although, I feel like what i…

Not engaging in political fights outside your circle of influence is actually good for business and responsible leadership.
"Good for business" is not the highest goal a human can achieve. Not even close. Start with "do the right thing" and progress from there.
Because if you really want to stick with it, most companies should do business in a handful of countries in the world.
I think businesses should mind their own businesses and comply with local laws, end of story.
I ain't got no patience for companies quitting country X, but not Y.

> they failed to make phones that are convenient to carry. I loved the iPhone SE and small phones generally, but at the same time I realize Apple's not failing at anything. They're giving the market the size people actually want. The smaller phones don't sell nearly as well. Most people prefer a bigger phone even if carrying it is less convenient. I've just accepted my phone will be bulky now, so I double down and at…
Maybe there's room in the world for a device people want, even if it's not the device the majority want? I mean I know Apple is just a small startup company with only a $4 trillion valuation, but maybe they could just do one thing that isn't maximally profitable once in a while.

Suspiciously missing if the color shown in the press release, the one closely resembling the one Borat is using.
If you change the "Size" on the store page from "Long" to "Short", the yellow is there. https://www.apple.com/shop/product/hs8r2zm/a/iphone-pocket-b...

of the 193 members of the UN, only 12 (6%) recognize Taiwan as a country. the Kuomintang lost the war. its effectively the same as if the confederacy retreated to the Florida keys and China maintained a policy of deliberate ambiguity.

It isn’t unlike Benelux, or Scandinavia, or Iberian, or Balkan, or Gulf countries.
