How about watch faces for heterosexuals? Or is that too politically incorrect? Not very inclusive is it if you single out a community to say, 'Here's something for you', but in effect you're actually forgetting or discounting others.
Where are the religious watch faces? Oh wait... Apple would never allow having something for everyone. How inclusive of them.
Hahaha, Christians—who make up the overwhelming majority of American adults at about 75% of the population—being afraid to discuss who they are is just precious, especially given that the religious right has gladly used that status to persecute the LGBTQ community and others throughout much of this country's history.
Spare me.
Saying my statement that I, as a gay man, am not interested in hearing Christians gripe about so-called persecution, counts as persecution proves mine.You just proved my point
I was only joking with the guy. Sheesh. You folks sure are delicate around here.This is indicative of the attitude of the American liberal. Tolerant of anything that is in line with the liberal ideology and socio-political philosophy but heaven forbid you have your own opinions and beliefs. That’s when the real “tolerance” is made clear. The most belligerent and intolerant people I’ve been around have been post-GWB liberals.

Tim Crook seems to have forgot Apple is a technology company.

I genuinely don’t understand why or how sex has become a thing that so many people feel the need to tout so publicly. What a strange reality we live in.
To be clear, this is just an observation. Not a political comment.
That gay people are human beings? Which is going too far for some conservatives.
Yes, how dare Apple "take sides" in the conversation over whether gay people are worthy of the same rights and dignity as everyone else.
This mentality is ... bizarre.
Supporting a cause of an underrepresented, and historically abused and persecuted class is not some slight or attack against people who they don't have watch faces for. Flipping around support of Pride as some form of divisiveness against you is just not cool and ony further evidences WHY more messaging for pride is still relevant in 2019
Having a separate flag makes you a human being? Glad you cleared that up.
You have not demonstrated that they're apples and oranges. Why is it okay for Chick-fil-a to donate to an anti-gay organization but not okay for Apple to offer a ****ing watch face?
No it makes you a country!

Do you really think this isn’t just another apple money grab?
Do you really not understand that the point is apple is adding it to the product they sell and the other companies are not? You seriously cannot see that makes it apples to roanges?
Liberal diversity: We should treat gay and straight people with equal respect.
But many of these people do not want to be treated equally. They seem to want preferential treatment. In my honest opinion, we should treat everyone with the same degree of kindness.
WAS... it was when Steve Jobs ran it. Tim’s biggest agenda is adding gay watch faces instead of more useful things like multitasking, more customization options for their phones, and open source on watch faces.

That’s the beauty of all this, you have your freedom to be gay and speak your mind, and others have the freedom to not be gay, and speak their minds.. it’s a win-win, right? Lol
Offering the flag shows their support for the recognition of the dignity of LGBT people. I think you know what I meant. If you are going to be deliberately obtuse, I will not respond to you.

So being political only matters when it's "adding to the product"? Where does this distinction come from?
Both are examples of a company's political views. That is all that is relevant.
YOU Also made the claim I stated.
It’s very naive to think cook wouldn’t drop them like a hot potato if they do not sell. If it was about political views they would give them away or at least sell them at cost. It’s the money.
I like that the argument has suddenly changed to cynicism, i.e. "it's about money!" when you realize the argument that this is somehow egregious or radically different from what other companies have done has fallen flat on its face.
Try paying attention if possible. My position had been that it’s about the money from the beginning. Otherwise it would not have happened.
If that's true then everything Apple does is for money and one political action on their part is no different from any other.
This should be no more controversial than any other watch face, really.
Well, the infograph watch face does suck for a variety of reasons.This should be no more controversial than any other watch face, really.
Where did I say it was controversial????? I don’t give a damn, I just said it’s about the money.
