They didn't come out and admit anything in 2016. They issued a cleverly worded non-denial which fools people even to this day. They could have done the same thing this time until the story blew over.
Apple heavily invested with IBM and their backbone of data cluster servers as their Enterprise Partnership went public and continues to evolve.
I did go back and re read an article and after an internal audit Apple said the faulty machine was done “unintentionally”.
Yet they still chose to cancel an order of close to 7000 machines ?
I dunno the whole story just doesn’t sound right.
The cancelled the order after the audit. Said after investigation the tampered computed was deemed “unintentional”.
This was the first article I read from MR..

Then when I googled the story it said the Siri servers may have been compromised. All this back in 2016. Then they cut ties.
Just gets weirder and weirder. Someone is lying and whoever that is needs be be held accountable for it.
Well, they couldn't make them a few years ago because the technology didn't exist yet.
That remains a question for anyone who has been living under a rock.

Using that lovely argument then we can suspect billions of crazy things for which we have zero evidence and we can not see. Yep, just because there is no proof and we can not see them it doesn't mean they don't exist. The limit is your imagination.
If yes, if they found them.... sooner or later the truth would come out and Apple would have no legs to stand because something like that it would be hard to hide. Just like with the Blomberg who seemed to have shot themselves in a foot thinking they can just get away with any BS story they publish. Apparently not this time.

You confidently said Apple cancelled the order AFTER determining the infection was accidental. This article says nothing like that anywhere.
Remember you started out by talking about what Apple 'admitted' as it it were proof of what they're now denying. But that admission didn't say what you thought it said. So then you pivoted to saying the admission was suspect and probably a lie. But now the facts you based your suspicion on are eluding you too, so now you're talking about Siri compromises which Apple firmly denied. That's a complete 180.
As much as you want to deny it, this slippery evasion of logic is exactly how conspiracy theorists work, although they probably don't realise they're doing it.
Your first two posts on the topic, for reference to what your point started out as...
But that’s what the article says. So your post confuses me. Or maybe you’re the one who’s confused.
I just posted what the article I read said, I didn’t say it was fact/
Did they or did they not cancel an order for computers after they found a bad one? YES/
As for Siri I never said the severs were hacked, I said a quick google search came up with it might have been, same with the article.
I don’t even care what happened, didn’t start any conspiracy...just reading an article is all... so stop twisting words.
I’m done goodbye
BAHAHAHAHAHAH....Your kidding right? Apple openly did this by not telling customers Apple was intentionally slowing down the iphone 6. Apple is above the law.
not saying something and telling a lie are two completely different things. i'm glad you're not a lawyer.
Um, yeah they would lie if directed to do so by a federal government agency. We already know that federal security agencies have forced large telcos to lie about their complicity in the federal monitoring program, so it's not like this would be a new thing.

That couldn't be further from the truth. There are ample reasons for Apple and the government to deny that this happened.
You honestly don't understand why anyone would be reluctant to be named as a source for this?
Traffic will be monitored by Apple, and no doubt it it will be the best that money can buy, but it would be foolish of us to think there isn't an organisation out there that has access to data and passwords for every sites we visit.
It's inevitable.
