you mean sales tax? that's the way it works now. you want to implement a nation wide VAT?

sales tax isn't paid by a company. it's paid by the consumers. the company collects and holds the sales tax in a trust to pay to the state on whatever schedule, but it isn't their money ever.

yeah but I don't think many places (if any) in the usa use vat. plenty of states have sales tax though to gently caress the poor.

all tax is paid by the consumer, some of it is just indirect by being built into the price of the product

they should put a lightning port on the Macbook Pro for my lightning headphones.

also ship the next iPhone with aLightning-to-USB-C instead of USB. that or AirPods as standard.

i will literally not care about the port situation at all if this is the case.

I think it was really a port for that 2% of users who are doing high-end pro video stuff and dropping 5k on a fully-upgraded model.

pretty disappointing from a consumer standpoint of people hoping for low-price, super past drives and... 4k Cinema Displays. rip.

Is apple going to release a newer iPad pro XL or whatever they are calling it? Honestly the naming thing is confusing because I thought iPad Pro=hueg but there is an iPad Pro Normal it seems.

Anyway I am one of the new people who thinks the large iPad is awesome and I was just wondering if they are done with that line. Did it sell well at all?

it outsold the surface. it's not even a year old, so i doubt it will get an update next week if that's what you're wanting, but maybe next year.

Everyone constantly wants new updates to everything all the time. Why do you want to spend your money unnecessarily? Just use the thing and then upgrade it when it's no longer sufficient.

Cool, thanks. I don't have one but I wanted to get one; I figured I'd wait for the newer one if it were just around the corner but I guess there is no need to wait. 🍻

if i had bought a macintosh laptop instead, it probably would be suiting them better

if you had a macintosh from 2006 you couldn't update mac os to a still supported version and would no longer be receiving security updates, so count your blessings

no. i mean, it's probably limited by shipping limits, but those are going to give you a massively bigger battery than you'd ever shove in a phone

incidentally, i spent yesterday watching lithium batteries blow up and :stare:

Uninstalled lithium batteries were limited to 1100mAh when I last was told about it, but that was 2011
