Apple is working to fix what the company said was a bug that displayed the Palestinian flag emoji when some iPhone users typed in “Jerusalem” in text after it sparked controversy on social media amid the Israel-Hamas war. Some iPhone users in the U.K. noticed the device’s keyboard would display the Palestinian flag emoji among a list of prompts when a user typed the word “Jerusalem.”

Exactly. From the sodomite CEO to the rest of the staff, Apple is a left-leaning company. I remember Apple refusing to advertise on Rush's show despite a welcome from Rush. Yep, that emoji was no accident and another reason I will never buy an apple product.

The perpetrator of this foul deed would be easy to identify in any shop I’ve worked in.

Apple is a left-leaning company. All the American tech giants are. TI the closest to neutral.

I remember Apple refusing to advertise on Rush's show despite a welcome from Rush. Rush was a huge Apple fan, and praised their products frequently and effusively. I always wondered if there might be some backdoor deal for him to go on and on about their products. And he was always giving away Apple products to callers. I remember him asking people "What do you want? An iPhone? An iPad? A Macbook?" Back then, Apple products, especially Macs, were associated with liberals. Rush broke down some barriers for them into a market that would otherwise have looked past them.

Probably zero. Most likely a database item.

No, because he used Apple products even while he was a spokesman for Gateway. He also heavily promoted Snapple before they paid him. Why? He loved the product.

If you believe that is accidental, I wish to inform you that your parent’s birth control failed. You are not supposed to be here........for good reason.
