🕯 Note from Keeper Alaris
We think giants like Apple are unshakable.
But this week reminded us:
Even titans can tremble.
Storms can appear without warning.
And sometimes, how fast you move matters more than how big you are.
This week, Apple moved.
And we watched.
But the story isn’t over.
Next week… what winds will blow?
📜 Alaris leaves you with this thought:
“Companies compete with products — but it’s trust that reshapes the future.”
