Apple won't ban Bloomberg from iOS devices based on inaccurate reporting about Apple, so I'm not sure what your point is.

I didn’t say they would so I’m not sure what your point is?

They did ban Alex Jones tho for his flavor of fake news. I guess some fake news is ok but not others huh?

Why do you take my criticism of apple and a ceo so personally? Why is that your first reaction? Am I going after a local mums and pops shop?

Liberals who defend trillion dollar valuation tech companies like they’re a precious startup, to no end disgust me. Even when they tow the line with China

“What’s wrong with China now?!?!” Baseless russiagate screechers now try to argue. Pathetic! Absolutely pathetic!
So you don't live in China, are not affected by this story, and have a political axe to grind. Got it.
 
We do business with China, look away from their very obvious dictatorial, KGB-ish antics because their stuff is cheap, and then complain when **** like this happens.

We need to choose whether we want to pay more for stuff made elsewhere. If we don't, then we must put up with this crap. You're flooding a dictatorship with technology and money for ****'s sake. What else do you expect?????

Russiagate screechers have no platform to stand on saying China isn’t a threat

Just like people saying the term fake news is fake news, are in a pickle as well


You don’t see the hypocrisy because liberals never acknowledge holes in their logic or a complete lack of logic all together. The echo chambers thicken and the introspection diminishes to none.

I’ll bet you attribute the 2018 booming economy to Obama t’ing it up for his beloved friend Trump, and any unsuccessful things as a result of trump too. Selectively pick and choose what’s good and what’s not on behalf of your party and previously failed podium politicians.

Keep up the good
Work!
 
Are they denying it because that is the PR response the government wants consumers to hear, meanwhile Apple, Amazon, Supermicro have a gag order to keep this top secret... I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA has an office at Apples headquarters... They did it at Strong Memorial hospital...
Time will tell...
But I don't see harm in admitting it and announcing we've fix the problem.
I believe we should have an open market, but I also think we should be careful with the products we take for granted overseas.

The first amendment prevents your scenario. You can be forced to say nothing for national security reasons. You cannot be forced to lie.

None of that, true or not, has any bearing on this discussion.
 
Have to say I do believe Apple in this instance. Seems as though Bloomberg was trying to write a very popular article and didn't want the facts to get in the way of that.

It totally does

Fake news is fake news. Except not here

Russia is a real threat. China isn’t. Not here. Because it’s apple yay.

You guys have no platform to stand on, after all your hysteria— but please, keep quoting me and keep screeching. That’ll surely work if you do it enough.

RESIST! RESIST logic too! Logic is fascist!

What does this story have to do with Russia?

If anything, this is about China spying on it's own citizens.
 
No, that’s now how the first amendment works. Do you even know what it says before spewing it out?

Lol nah he believes first amendment means Tim Cook keeps it real 24/7 bc constitution. First amendment protects his truth being truth. Hahaha!
 
Does it really come as a surprise either way? Even supposing it did happen, they’d obviously deny it.

I only believe Apple’s privacy nonsense to some extent. Sure, I trust them more than Google and the likes, but at the end of the day, they’re a company—one of the richest companies in the world, at that. Bottom line will always be making a profit.

I don’t trust any company in the world with my data, especially not one as big and monolithic as Apple.

Am I gonna just keep repeating myself?

You guys are adamant russiagate is real. Media doesn’t talk about it anymore because they’re out of steam making a story out of nothing. America rejected Hillary Clinton. Had nothing to do with Russia. But keep believing that if it helps you get over the 2016 election which it
Clearly Doesn’t

Fake news itself is fake news. But yet you say this article is fake news because your emotions and brand loyalty tell you it must be.

People that hold these clearly conflicting views have less than no credibility. So please keep going on about it or how the simple hypocrisy I’m pointing out is incomprehensible.
 
Ding ding... That's the problem right there... sheer greed.
That’s not the issue. The issue is Supply Chain and workforce. Being in China, Apple is able to quickly access a massive workforce quickly during ramp up dates.

Furthermore, the world’s supply chain for technology is main focused in China. Many (over 90%) of the components are made in China. Hence logistics wise it makes sense.

Apple already tried to make iPhones cheaper somewhere else and failed due to those restrictions. There is a reason why the Brazilian or Indian iPhone are the same or a bit more expensive than the Chinese made iPhone.
