The feds have NO constitutional or legal say in where anybody buy or sells or makes anything.
Right 100%. But the Constitution allows the feds to tariff any and all imports into the USA. Fact jack.
So if the President wants to threaten Apple with a tariff THAT IS HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. And I am all for it!
“The feds have NO constitutional or legal say in where anybody buy or sells or makes anything.”
Consumers do... therein lies the problem.
I use what my son’s use. They are technically Savvy (I’m technically somewhat Savvy but most of my technical abilities have long past obsolescence), And they’re not using Apple, they tell me why they don’t use apple. People I know in the sound reproduction business don’t use apple anymore or are shifting away from Apple, and they tell me why.
There is a shift and it seems to have occurred after Jobs passed away. Some of my MBA buddies tell me that Apple almost went under back in the 90s and it was Pixar and the phenomenal success of Toy Story that basically saved the e-vile empire.
Things have changed a bit since then, but Microsoft compliant products seem to be holding their own share of the market, but I think even the market is evened out to the point where now it is really a selective choice.
I have used Microsoft since really the Inception of Microsoft on or in the workplace, which is the late 80s. I just use what I’m familiar with and it is not Apple.
I watch my friends with iPhones and they have even brought me their iPhones to do things like change the battery... that is ridiculous. Plus, earlier iPhones were limited in memory and frankly were not scalable as demands on devices increased! Android you just put in a bigger SDHD in the comfort of your own kitchen counter.
My next smart phone will be an Android again. Except I need a bigger screen and I want one it actually sounds okay without the headphones or the Bluetooth speaker. That’s all I need. I rarely even get on the laptop anymore unless I’m typing up something administrativly.
I am not a big fan of bundled apps though! And I don’t like getting hit up on maps and all that other junk for places I just happened to pass on the street, which iPhones don’t but that is not enough to bother me and drive me to the brink to purchase an iPhone.
I know people that use Apple products, buy new Apple products, and it takes them over a week to get their phones up and running properly, and that’s even after driving 90 miles to an Apple Store and having the person in the Apple Store work with them to get their phones operating correctly. That my friends is ridiculous.
