If people want Apple to continue to put out different models of products that do the same thing as the previous models then they can’t expect Apple to float the cost of rising chip prices. Same with phone company who offer all those discounted and ‘free’ phone promos. They need to up the cost of their plans now to compensate for the more expensive phones. Why should they have to eat the cost increases? If you don’t like it then switch to the one or two other phone companies on the market but they are doing the same thing.
Right now might be a good time for Apple to inject advertisements into their iOS. That would give Apple a buffer if chip prices continue to go up. It would also be a good idea for Apple to increase the cost of cloud storage.
I’m tired of everyone complaining they have no money because they have been getting hit with constant price increases nonstop for the last 6 years while wages have remained the same. Like, oh sorry inflation reportedly went up about 30% in the last 6 years and your wages haven’t gone up anywhere near that…
Now all of a sudden it’s the government and corporations fault you can’t go on vacation, buy a house, have kids, buy Starbucks, buy groceries, afford healthcare, pay rent. America is the land of hard work. If you want these things then maybe you should get a second job instead of working your 8:30-5pm job Monday through Friday. Oh let me guess you lazy people are made your company won’t pay you to eat lunch now. Like you have a whole 30 minutes to do almost anything you want. Why would the company pay you if you’re not working? Just so you feel appreciated? Go have your mommy coddle you.
Nobody ever said people shouldn’t struggle to exist. If you’re that burnt out and mad then go get on antidepressants like every other American. Maybe you should have reduced your stress, slept more and been more active just like your doctor told you. The less disposable income people have, the more money we can give to those in power.
The gold decorations and new ballroom at the White House isn’t going to pay for itself. The $630 billion Iran war isn’t going to pay for itself. There are people that those in power believe need to die and they can’t go kill them if their citizens want to be able to buy a house, have a family and go on vacation every year.
If the US was smart they would get rid of social security and Medicare. Let’s face it, senior citizens are a burden to corporate America. There is no need to have people not working and living off their savings or retirement accounts. Send them to the other side early, increase taxes on inheritances and gut more government regulation companies to save money. Just for the record, I’m bored and trying to avoid working today. My comment is for entertainment purposes only.
Clear Channel aka Iheartradio (the media conglomerate) went a whole decade consistently losing money before they finally made a profit. If we follow that timeline then OpenAI has 9 more years to hemorrhage money before they start to see a return of investment.
