Steve was never tested like this was he? Everyone’s about values until they are put into a fucked up situation like Tim Cook. The man had to literally deliver a Roman tribute to this president personally.


He could have refused. Few things would sway public opinion on tariffs like more expensive i devices.


I think Steve would’ve packed it in and retired if he was still around today.


And that shouldn't have happened either. Apple doesn't need the US government, and Tim is himself a billionaire— he sure as hell doesn't personally need them either.
