Independent UK-based analyst and publisher of tommo.fyi — where critical thinking meets geopolitically relevant dry wit. Writing on Apple, AI, and the future of agentic computing. Sharp, irreverent, and right more often than he’d like to admit.

LinkedIn’s AI “thought leaders” are multiplying like MLM recruits - all hype, zero insight frantic self-promotion. While they chase dopamine metrics, Apple sits silent, plotting 2026. This is what happens when the loudest voices in AI sell fiction instead of understanding.

Trump’s 100% tariff tantrum meets Wall Street’s AI hopium loop. CNBC cheers, capex cash spins in circles, everyone pretends the music won’t stop. But when money just promises to spend itself, bubbles don’t burst, they implode. Hedge, don’t edge. Halloween came early for the markets. Trick, or Treat?
Feature
Trump yanks the “Tariff Lever 100%” as crypto pumpkins plunge off a cliff and yuan-shaped firestorms swirl overhead. Wall Street reels, AAPL ticks red, and China’s dragons rise from smoke. Halloween came early for the markets; and for anyone still pretending this is just theatre.
Feature
AAPL has climbed back to the top of the Plateau, peeking over $258 today. But what happens when the air gets this thin? The view’s great unless the bridge turns out to be hot air created by a Vapour Chamber generated mirage.

Apple once conquered ecosystems. Now it risks becoming conquered. As OpenAI’s Model Context Protocol and Perplexity’s Comet turn AI into a universal interface, the App Store and “Apple Intelligence” look suddenly antique: elegant, but static. Has the “enshittification of Apple’s innovation” begun?
News
BREAKING: The future just landed. Perplexity’s Comet browser is live, now free, agentic, LLM-agnostic challenger to Safari that runs on Apple’s turf. Apple, meanwhile, has boxed Siri, delayed Apple Intelligence, and left Safari static. If Jobs used iTunes to Trojan-horse Windows, this is déjà vu.

iPhone 17 hysteria is here - but are lead time charts and orange phones really enough to push AAPL over $260? With AVP seemingly shelved and AI stalled in 2024, Apple’s silence is golden… for analysts. But beneath the rally lies a void of vision. What if this is success by absence, not by design?
TOMMO.FYI
Apple’s $4,500 Vision Pro was hailed as the “next iPhone.” I said it would flop. Two years later it’s shelved, with Apple pivoting belatedly to AR glasses, if rumours are believed. From hype to headstone, the lesson is simple: don’t buy into fetish, buy fundamentals. And yes: I did tell you so.
News
From a 5G-fuelled iPhone 12 boom to the tariff-juiced, AI-starved 16, the last six years reveal Apple’s true playbook: plateaus dressed as super-cycles and super-clever launch optics. Part One dissects subsidies, supply shocks, and pricing sleights that set the stage for as iPhone 17 super-frenzy.
News
TEASER ALERT: $245 stock highs, queues, hype, orange phones: Apple’s iPhone 17 is already being called a super-cycle after one day! Or is it just… super-choreographed? TOMMO.FYI has crunched six years of iPhone data and what it means for AAPL in 2026. Part one and Part two to follow, next week.
TOMMO.FYI
Trump dines with King Charles. Tim Cook joins the table. A thousand years of monarchy meets Apple’s 49-year-old empire, and Wall Street laps up the symbolism. Heritage rubs off, the stock soars, and Apple plays cultural institution as much as company - polish, protocol, and profit all on one plate.
