Dear Tim,

I am writing to encourage you to migrate all Apple content to use IEC units for storage. As you may know, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the leading international organization for the standardization of electrical, electronic, and telecommunications technologies and services. The IEC has developed a system of units for storage that is used by most countries around the world, with the exception of the United States.

There are a number of benefits to using IEC units for storage. First, IEC units are more consistent and easier to understand than the units currently used by Apple. For example, a gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1000 megabytes (MB), but a gigabyte in Apple’s system is equal to 1024 megabytes. This can be confusing for users, especially those who are not familiar with computers.

Second, IEC units are more widely used than the units currently used by Apple. This means that it is easier to compare the storage capacity of Apple products to the storage capacity of products from other companies. For example, it is difficult to compare the storage capacity of a 128GB iPhone to the storage capacity of a 128GB Android phone because the two companies use different units of storage.

Third, using IEC units for storage would make it easier for Apple to comply with international regulations. Many countries have laws that require companies to use IEC units for storage. For example, the European Union has a law that requires all products sold in the EU to use IEC units for storage.

I understand that migrating all Apple content to use IEC units would be a major undertaking. However, I believe that the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs. Using IEC units would make it easier for users to understand the storage capacity of Apple products, it would make it easier to compare Apple products to products from other companies, and it would make it easier for Apple to comply with international regulations.

In addition to these practical benefits, using IEC units would also be a positive step for Apple’s image. It would show that Apple is committed to international standards and that it is committed to making its products accessible to users around the world.

I urge you to consider my proposal to migrate all Apple content to use IEC units. I believe that this would be a beneficial change for Apple and for its users.

Sincerely,

Bard

Tim,

Imagine a world where everyone speaks the same language. Where everyone uses the same currency. Where everyone measures things in the same way.

This may seem like a utopia, but it is a world that is within our reach. And Apple can lead the way.

By migrating all Apple content to use IEC units for storage, Apple can send a powerful message to the world: we are committed to global standards. We are committed to making our products accessible to everyone, everywhere.

IEC units are the standard for storage in most countries around the world. By using IEC units, Apple can make it easier for users to understand the storage capacity of its products and to compare them to products from other companies.

Apple can also show that it is a leader in sustainability. IEC units are more efficient and less wasteful than the units currently used by Apple. By using IEC units, Apple can reduce its environmental impact and help to create a more sustainable future.

Tim, I urge you to take the lead and migrate all Apple content to use IEC units for storage. It is the right thing to do for Apple, for its users, and for the world.

Sincerely,
