Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.

What a stupid fucking dildo. Sucking pp like that.
I guess Trump didn’t like the rimjob from Tim the first time.
Just suck him off already, you fucks. Come on commit!
I hate how this community has become mostly politics lately. Its understandable since technology and politics are connected but still.
I feel “tech” communities have always been more about smartphones and startups rather than actual tech.
Contacts are about control. When fascists are in charge. Everything is politics
Agree. With the extent of polarization we have there is very little that isn’t political and it’s depressing.
I already hate Apple products, so I can’t not buy them to make a statement about not supporting fascist loving corpo scum.
“Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
Will you stop using Google products, including Android and YouTube or are you just a hypocrite?
Oh yes, let me protest this thing that just happened by throwing my Android-OS phone that I bought years ago away. That’ll show 'em.
You’re just as disingenuous and stupid as the morons on the right who smashed their Keurigs.
FYI, my next phone will probably be a Linux phone anyway and I hardly use YouTube at all these days, and when I do it’s with AdBlockers on, and I never gave a cent to them for premium, so I cost them money to use their platform if anything. If PeerTube or some other non-Google video hosting service could go mainstream, I’d use that in a heartbeat. I’ve de-Googled my life as much as I could reasonably be expected to, and this was before their CEO kissed the ring. So fuck off with your judgemental attitude.
And I can’t even accept a gift voucher due to anti-bribery rules? Fuck off.
you can’t even accept a bottle of water while waiting to vote! the rules are different for us and them.
Now that’s pathetic. Whatever happened to apple? What was even the latest cool thing they did? Seems almost irrelevant now
There’s nothing cool about Apple and never was. They’re just really good at advertising to people who don’t understand technology. You have always been able to get the same grade of technology for way cheaper by purchasing from elsewhere.
I’ve been an IT professional (as a job) for over 2 decades. I have had numerous jobs and worked with a lot of tech people. I have had exactly one fellow employee that liked Apple and that dude was straight out of high school and we hired him on as an intern at first and he knew basically nothing.
Apple is good at advertising and robbing people blind. That’s it.
Funny, I’ve been an IT professional for over 2 decades and most of my coworkers have used Macs for development and system administration.
The latest cool things they have done: they’ve stopped being whiny little bitches & made their iPhones USB-C, with pressure from the EU. They’ve finally adopted Google’s RCS messaging protocol, which should allow Apples & Androids to play nicely together in texting.
Both of these things were massively overdue; they were being arrogant & childish for years…
Last but certainly not least: iPhones 15 & up (I think) have FREE “satellite messaging”. If you’re out in bufu & you’ve got no signal, simply put your iPhone out with a clear view of the sky…and your text messages will be relayed, received via satellite. This is a safety feature, not everyone knows it’s a thing, and personally I think it’s very, very cool.
T-Mobile should also team up with Starlink so all T-Mo customers should get free satellite text messaging. Should. But modern iPhones have free emergency text messaging here & now; that’s worth more than any “Trust me, bro, it’s totally coming”.
Didn’t you watch the video? They turned a gold bar into a “stand.” Truly revolutionary, Tim apple.
Wait for the price tag on the upcoming golden monitor stand.
I have always hated Apple, this is just further proof that they are greedy fucks with no morals.

Cost of doing business
You know how those Trump supporters thought we were supposed to be really offended at “Fuck Biden” but no one gave a shit because even most Democrats were never really cheerleaders for Biden?
Even people who hate Apple know that Google is a piece of shit too. We aren’t (generally) Google cheerleaders. You don’t need to whatabout all the anti-Apple comments.
Dude. We know.
Back door to Apple customer data maybe?
They already get that from the PRISM act.
So now that apple bent the knee can people finally stop buying apple shit?
Google hasn’t “bent the knee”? 😏
How about we make all tech ceos work in the cobalt mines instead of children
Let’s go. Start from the richest one down.
Tim Apple has turned into such a disappointing bootlicker.
it’s fascism, all CEOs bend down.
no person with principles against fascism would never become a CEO, basic human decency is bad for the investors
There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your “leadership” education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.
It’s sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it’s only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.
ish. but if there are shareholders, the CEO is replaceable. and principles aren’t good for immediate profits.
Gift? You mean bribe.
It is a gift. The same gift that the Noble gave to their King, so they would not get replaced or lose power. It is a Hail to the King move.
Yes this is a bribe. Period.
Is it a bribe or ransom? Trump is extracting favors by threat.
Cost of doing business in a country ruled by a dictator who LOVES shiny shit
OK let me play devil’s advocate for a moment: it’s the only language he speaks. You must stroke his ego, and give him an opportunity to look down on you.
Of course it’s still corporate cronyism.
Yeah the real story here should be hey everyone, look how transparently easy it is to manipulate the President of the United States
Cook speaks Trump. Fluently.
I bet Apple has a Trump Mitigation Team
This is a bit like mark rutte calling Trump “daddy”. It’s completely inconsequential in actual reality but still feels so entirely wrong. And I don’t even know who should be most embarrassed, the bootlickers or Trump for being transparently narcissistic that everyone realizes bootlicking works
Is the 24 karat on Aluminum?
More likely zinc or brass.
What a fucking tool.
Yes he is, but that’s who you voted to lead 🤷🏻♂️
‘you’
