They build their stuff in China, if they want to keep their 35,000% markup they'll do whatever the ChiComs tell them to do plus they don't want any of their executives getting sbot.
It’s all Kabuki theater to give Apple cover when they surrender.
When you are a totalitarian regime you can bend those Apple Boys to your will. They will be very compliant in order to sell more Apple fones and iPads in China. Apple is running scared of Xiaomi and other tough Chinese competition...so will pull out out all stops to sell their devices in China.
Apple only defies the US government when it comes to security matters. China it will bend over for
Absolutely.
Apple gives the communist party full access to everything.
They all do.
Jail Cook as accessory after the fact.
I have posted the plausible and highly likely collusion of Apple with Beijing for over a year now.
In the 4th quarter of 2014, AAPL reported a quarterly profit of 16 billion, its highest in history due mainly to sales of its iPhone 6.
$16B at a price point of $1000 per phone would mean in 90 days a city the size of Shanghai would have had to purchase an iPhone 6 for every man, woman and child.
Further, most every Chinese person cannot afford an iPhone 6 at $1000 unless there are government subsidies.
The 16B profit also came at a time when Cook was under fire for bring politics and homosexuality into his business boardroom. So he needed a large show, an incredible result to boost his hold on the company.
So it’s not difficult to surmise that Cook cut a deal with Beijing to give them the spying capability that they have always wanted.
I look at Apple’s iPhone success as one largely made by China and by a side deal with the Beijing government to hand over the keys to the backdoors of the devices.
Seems very unlikely, that's Apple's keys to its kingdom.
I laugh at all these morons who have such phones...I just had to look at my flip phnoe to see who made it....I pay 13 dollars a month for the thing to text(which I rarely use besides typing “K” or I’ll be right there) OH by the way I only pay 34.99 for this 30 mbps connection....no cable and I own my own modem.....get the muzzies out and close all mosques in America...Islam IS NOT a religion . Nothing but a subhuman theocracy....I will state what I have always said: fk Islam and anyone who supports it. .....all comments welcome.
Isn’t Apple essentially a Chinese company that exports it’s products to the United States.
meh
The county changed the password when they confiscated the phone. The idiot cannot remember what he changed it to. This is an effort to get into everyone’s phone
They build their stuff in China, if they want to keep their 35,000% markup they'll do whatever the ChiComs tell them to do plus they don't want any of their executives getting sbot.
Checking for spyware just means that the Chinese were looking to see if the phones could be cracked, that would mean that the US could spy on them. The fact that they cannot be cracked, means just that. There cannot be any US govt spyware, if the phones cannot be cracked.
A corporation run by liberals has no allegiance to America. A trait identified with communists and muslims.
How long before we openly admit the left is not comprised of patriots?
It dawned on me that the security feud between Apple and FBI might be turning out differently if USA had a secure border.
Very interesting.
Now the FBI is admitting they asked the San Bernardino ITs to change the password on the terrorists I phone.
fyi
