By what measure?
- andrecarini 5y agoBrand value, probably.
- adoxyz 5y agomoney?
- smoldesu 5y agoLiquid cash and total valuation. Before the government asked them to start divesting, they had something like 200 billion dollars in liquid cash, sitting around doing nothing.
- skuthus 5y agoyou know that's bad, right?
- smoldesu 5y agoOh, for sure. The fact that a company with billions of dollars couldn't research a way to fit a 1080p webcam into their bezel is utterly hysterical, and it's pretty endemic of the pearls-before-swine attitude that the Apple Treasury takes.
- nouveaux 5y agoThis attitude is what caused Jony Ive's Apple in 2016. Thinner, lighter and less bezels is what made laptops worse. No thank you. I'd rather have a thicker laptop with ports and longer battery life. I would rather have a higher quality camera than having a smaller bezel.
- smoldesu 5y agoI'd rather not have to pick and choose between a congruous display and a webcam that is worse than the 2012 Macbook Air.
- reaperducer 5y agoBad for whom? It allowed Apple to continue to pay its retail employees when the stores were closed for the pandemic. Seems like the opposite of "bad."
