What models? I have an i4 and I have never been hit with this or those subscription services everyone kept talking about. I wonder if it is happening only in certain models.
I cannot comment on that but anecdotally I can say that I normally do not see a lot hiring during the holidays and a lot of firings in March and Q2. I have no explanation for the March thing.
Do note that December is the tail of the budget year. First and second quarter is when many companies execute the year's strategy and burn budget. Third quarter is a bit late but still active.
For us, our clients came out hot and heavy the first two quarters, more than doubling the order totals for 2025. Hiring was hectic for most of Q1 and all of Q2. Q4 is pretty dead most of the time.
I used to not care about iPad kids until I had a long conversation with a school teacher friend who explained the drastic drop in reading, writing and comprehension in the latest batches of kids she teaches.

It's the author conflating "Linux" and "open source". In their statement, Proton states "Linux community" snd the author promptly writes "open source community". Knowing the difference between the two seems like a requirement to write for a tech publication, but maybe that's just my crazy opinion.
Only the middle class worries about lowering their utility bills. Up until recently, everything i listed had huge federal incentive programs. Trump got rid of it all.
