Apple is allowing Card holders to skip March payment w/out interest. Note the Fed could do a similar thing as the so-called 1.5 trillion “bailout,” i.e. give credit card companies a 1-2 month loan, this would be very low cost. https://9to5mac.com/...

they key takeaway from this is the CEO of @Apple is publicly recognising that #China has now dealt with the #covid19 challenge and come out the other side and life is getting back to normal.. so now the world needs to learn from #China's experience and just work through it.. http…

Might I humbly suggest that while this is a great gesture, Apple spent $81 billion on dividends and stock buybacks in 2019. You could suspend this program for a year make a massive contribution. https://twitter.com/...

An extremely Apple-y spin on WWDC in-person event cancellation. No mention of “coronavirus.” Online format is a “new experience” and “innovative.” (Apple's doing the same thing other tech companies are doing for canceled conferences.) https://www.cnbc.com/...

Bold move by Apple to close all of its retail stores outside of Greater China until March 27. Hard to argue against this approach but makes me fearful for other retailers who don't have the balance sheet to weather extended closures. I fear for the British high street especially.…

Why can't Apple speak like a normal company? I had to read this three times just to be clear that they mean “there is no WWDC in San Jose this year.” And I still don't know what it *will* be. Stop burying the lede. Compare: https://events.google.com/io/ https://www.apple.com/...

No date yet either for the conference. This gives Apple some fluidity too in case things are running a week or 2 behind. Obviously, in this case, no one wants Apple to have that benefit. I'd imagine they do the keynote at the Steve Jobs theater with a thin employee audience. http…

Apple's WWDC 2020 press release is pretty bare bones. An online format was the obvious path forward. The details (which likely are still being worked out) will be interesting. For example, how will this online keynote work? What about the developer / Apple engineer labs?
