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?

So Apple just made a materially false statement. With no wiggle room. Risking a billion dollar sec fine. Sure.
So you don't live in China, are not affected by this story, and have a political axe to grind. Got it.
Does anyone know whose finger that is on the Bloomberg cover? And which finger are they using?
Apple also told a vice reporter they aren’t politically biased when she didn’t ask if they were?
You mean Tim didn’t lie there? Apple isn’t a liberal dominant and biased organization?
Huh that’s interesting
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!
The first amendment prevents your scenario. You can be forced to say nothing for national security reasons. You cannot be forced to lie.
The ceo of apple is a pussyhat wearing resistance fighter in bed with China
Gotta love when the press goes after him
It’s very sweet and poetic

Conspiracy theories were fun when I was young too
Bloomberg is the same as Forbes now, just a bunch of clickbait titles for garbage stories.
I didn’t know there was a conspiracy theory in my description. I’m not even really sure you even know what that means, conspiracy theory.
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!
No, that’s not how the first amendment works. Do you even know what it says before spewing it out?
What does this story have to do with Russia?
If anything, this is about China spying on it's own citizens.
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.
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.
