a buyback program bumps up earnings per share, which increases the stock price but at the expense of total valuation (there are fewer shares), so in theory it is a zero sum operation. AAPL market cap has grown considerably, which would not be consistent with buyback-driven price increases

And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Buybacks aren't a zero-sum operation in many cases, especially not in today's weird markets. They're a buy signal to many speculators. Also, the buybacks aren't the only driver of the increase in the share price.

people sometimes forget that the macbook could charge or it could have an accessory, but not both, unless you bought a hub that supported charging

it had a headphone socket tho

I miss my macbook tiny, it was slow but otherwise needs suiting. I have a new air now and it just feels heavy and bulky by comparison, and is still slow

the one that came out in 2008? that's true, but apple of 12 years ago was pretty different, they still sort of cared about the mac then because the iphone had only been out for a year in 2008

as a former Apple employee that filed some bullshit patents, I can assure you that most patents are nonsense filed because you get a fat cash payout when patents are granted. the ones that are for real products are hidden until the product is released.

also lol at making the iMac screen even less height adjustable. the current method of putting a ream of printer paper under it doesn’t work if it lifts the keyboard with it

you plebian the webcam will automatically handle purchases for you via faceid why would someone bother using a physical card

actually this would require apple to upgrade the front facing camera they use in macs so that will never happen
