BYD makes nicer cars at a cheaper price. The only advantage Tesla has is protectionism in the US market.
Because it's the benchmark that other photo app alternatives strive to be. It's a nightmare privacy wise, but Google built the best solution and a lot of iPhone users just assume Apple was the leader without trying anything else.
Thankfully there is immich which is working hard to duplicate the feature set without the privacy invasion.
Google Photos strips the metadata from your photos in unpredictable ways. It is a UX nightmare and an awful backup solution.

Not a great fitness tracker because it has no GPS
Poor notification integration because of the restrictions on iOS explained in their blog post.
If you want long battery life, I’d go for a Garmin. But the Apple Watch is really the best option for 90% of people.

Apple can release a half-baked version of this before it’s ready, but then pundits will say “oh. Steve Jobs would have never allowed such unpolished garbage to ship.”
Sometimes it’s better to wait 6 months for something to be mature and stable. Apple has a long history of being conservative in this regard, and they often aren’t the first entrant into a market, but they still dominate because of very good integration with their ecosystem and a high quality bar. Apple Intelligence will probably be the same (bookmark this post for 3 years from now, when Gemini is being split into three businesses and rebranded / killed).

He wrote a Twitter post praising Trump's administration and criticizing Democrats[0], then doubled down on the official Proton account[1]. Then he backpedaled, saying the official account statements were an accident[2].

It’s crazy this caused such a stir. Everything Andy said was not wrong.

The entire notion that there's a free speech angle here is a disingenuous red herring by Tik Tok to muddy the waters.
Speech is in no way being limited or compelled - you can say the exact same thing on dozens of other platforms without consequence. You can even say it on tik tok without consequence. You can even publish videos from tik tok in the US just fine.
This law is about what types of foreign corporation can do business in the US, and what sorts of corporate governance structures are allowed.
This is false. There is absolutely content on TikTok critical of the US, Israel, western businesses, etc that is boosted by TikTok’s algorithm and effectively censored or hidden on many American-owned social networks,

And BYD had a leg up...
Anyway, didn’t Tesla give away these patents?
