This is scandalous! We were supposed to get a different kind of fraud!

They even probably worked better than real AI, the shame!

Wow. Aren’t we Mexicans inventive?

Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it. The tariffs might give it the pretext it needed to go ahead with the idea, because the alternative would be sacrificing some of its abundant profit margins.

You joke, but Russia is a better replacement for China than Ukraine. The territory is bigger, which means more resources, and instead of giving them aid USA can buy raw material cheap because they need money.

At least that’s the strategy I’d expect from your current administration, since everything is laser-focused on very short term profit.

I would never had imagined that in my lifetime I’d see gringos reverse-smuggling game consoles from Mexico. I guess you could smuggle them from Canada too, but Mexico has always smuggled merch from USA. We even have a term for it: “fayuca”.

The lucky ones that live near the border can cross, shop switches 2 at non-orange prices, open them and smuggle the back as personal devices.

Guess they will start teaching vtubing in high school then.

TBH Apple is closed mainly because it makes them boatloads of money, not because of security. It could still be open and responsible.
