Tim Cook recently visited China for the second time this year amid reports of sluggish iPhone 15 sales and a probe into big tech supplier Foxconn.

‘Steve Jobs’ biographer Walter Isaacson says Apple will be the company ‘most hurt’ if economic tensions between US and China escalate::Tim Cook recently visited China for the second time this year amid reports of sluggish iPhone 15 sales and a probe into big tech supplier Foxconn.

Isaacson’s shotty work on The Elon Musk book really exposed how lacking his research is.

Where before, I’d go, “Isaacson probably did his homework. He’d know for sure with his probably well research deep dive.” Today, I’m probably assuming he just emailed their PR person and took what were they said and sprouted that.

Shame too.

you sure about that? Apple’s market cap is like 18x that of Disney, and they import a ton of physical good from China. Meanwhile Disney mainly only exports to China. Their imports are minimal, so I’m pretty sure any trade war would affect them much much less than Apple.

South Park demonstrated this quite nicely. Don’t fuck with the Mouse

I’m pretty sure Tim Apple has thought a bit about this problem and has some contingencies if the shit hits the fan.
