LETTER : The future through Apple's eyes is rosy, not rotten
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.YOUR article on Apple computers, "The rot sets in" (Business, 12 November), rehashed our past mistakes without saying how we are addressing the future. We would like to point out that:
1 Apple has gained market share since Windows '95.
2 Macintosh is gaining developers; 3,500 attended Apple's developer conference this year.
3 Worldwide, Apple is number one supplier in education, two in home and three in business.
4 Apple has superior multimedia, plug and play to other platforms and is ahead of the game by integrating virtual reality and 3D technology into PCs.
5 Apple is world leader in video on demand, interactive music and has become the number two Internet provider in less than three months.
6 Apple is a $11bn, not a $9.2bn company.
Your assertion that Apple, IBM and Motorola will not introduce Common Hardware Reference Platform machines was undermined on 13 November when the availability of the "PowerPC Platform" was announced.
