You can take pride in most of the products the company makes and in their stance on customer privacy.
Terrible engineering process Total lack of transparency Zero sense that you are a valuable human being Low trust environment Makes you want to quit and become a farmer The worst tools for doing your job in the industry
Hi Folks, I came across the news about the usage of lidar in the new apple products. I saw the ipad pro tear down but didn’t find more information on this product. I know the usage of lidar in automotive but this is something new and interesting (I’m sure it must be the early trials on the AR). I’m...Read more
How much is the business travel in google consumer hardware? I know Apple can be up to 20% to Asia, like crazy.
Poll Edit: sorry about the typo
LOL What do you think of this?
I feel that Apple practices are anti competitive and harm consumers. Even companies which try to explain to users exactly where their money is going are being blocked by Apple. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/28/21405140/apple-rejects-facebook-update-30-percent-cut I am going to take what little p...Read more
https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple-shareholders-reject-ai-disclosure-proposal-2024-02-28/ Should we expect anything exciting? Or more BS claim like “Macbook Air M3 is the world’s best consumer laptop for AI”?

Looks like non tech consumers think Apple is the best, and Netflix is like Roku, Airbnb is like Expedia, etc. So different from how Blind sees
This is a different side of the apple I wasn't aware of. Tech companies copy successful products on the market but Apple seems to go way beyond. We need startups and Google thriving on consumer front. https://archive.is/oypLr When Apple Comes Calling, ‘It’s the Kiss of Death’ https://www.wsj.com/a...Read more

In an 88-page lawsuit, the government argued that Apple had violated antitrust laws with practices that were intended to keep customers reliant on their iPhones and less likely to switch to a competing device. The tech giant prevented other companies from offering applications that compete with App...Read more
I moved from Apple to Meta RL a year ago. Now my job is at risk. Who else is hiring? Consumer hardware design space.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/goldman-is-looking-for-a-way-out-of-its-partnership-with-apple-79849a91 "In January, Goldman disclosed that it had lost about $3 billion on the consumer-lending push since 2020."
Apple is the king of consumer products, Meta is the king of social medias, Google is the king of search and ads, Amazon is the king of e commerce, tesla is the king of EV, OpenAI is the king of AI, US is the king of the earth, just like msft is the king of tech companies, period !
giphy just sold to Facebook for $400M. it is time to build. please hit me up if you're building any consumer focusing app that can directly or indirectly compete with Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. Thank you.
I can't figure out what's the issue of putting more storage into a laptop, phone or tablet. For example a 2TB ipad costs $1100 more than a 128GB ipad, while 2TB memory for an end consumer costs around $100. Does Apple want to force subscribe everybody to monthly cloud storage or there actually end c...Read more

"Facebook is calling Apple out for refusing to reduce its 30% App Store fee for a new Facebook feature that could help small-business owners during the pandemic" Sure, FB is a non-profit. It will not make any money from adding more active users and increasing existing user engagement on the platfor...Read more
I have 2 offers in hand. 1) Systems Software Developer at Apple Cupertino - (Software Power Team) 2) Software Engineer 2 at Intuit San Diego (Consumer Group). The pay at Apple is much much better than Intuit. But from JD, it feels that the work at Intuit would be better than Apple. In the past I ha...Read more
