Pretty much every successful corporation deals with internal and external theft... and the larger they are, the more they have to deal with. Walmart loses billions every year in thefts by employees walking out the door with merchandise. Many people want an unearned slice of any bigger pie. Why do you presume that Apple would be any different, and that thefts from them are worthy of quotation marks?
Teacher I agree with you completely. And any company with over a quarter of a trillion dollars... 94% of that held in offshore accounts according to Apple CFO Luca Maestri. Apple is a huge target. But Apple has been pretending to be the world's biggest victim almost since its founding. Before the iPhone it was Microsoft who was the boogieman. After the iPhone it was Samsung. Apple has a long history of portraying its biggest competitors as the embodiment of evil.
For good examples of an Apple mouthpiece spreading this type of guano take a look at Swormaker’s posting history. But you do not really need to expose yourself to that level of nonsense. The stories have actually become ingrained in our culture so I probably do not need to give you any examples...
