You avoided the question, if fines are a trade barrier, shouldn’t we count US fines on European manufacturers as well? Of course fines on tech companies disproportionately affect US companies. They’re the biggest tech companies! If you broa

I know this view is common in the US but the EU fines all kinds of companies - European and not - large amounts for various violations. Just 3 days ago it was almost $500 million to various car manufacturers, the biggest piece to Volkswagen

Even better, the iPhone 16e has DisplayPort support on the USB-C port. Even the necessary pins are blank. So we have at least three different USB-C capability levels on iPhones now.

In that - hopefully exceptionally rare case - the gate could just print you a boarding pass. It’s not a big deal.
