Apple disses Trump, because of course they should
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 21, 2016 | Mark Morford

Posted on 06/22/2016 6:12:16 AM PDT by artichokegrower

Will hardcore Trump supporters – like this sweet, all-American Arizona voter – stop buying iPhones? Will iPhone fans who also love Trump now hurl their devices into the sewer and switch to Samsung, a vaguely creepy foreign company that doesn’t give a damn about US politics, and will therefore happily support a hunk of rotting asparagus if it will sell them more Galaxy S’?

Sure, they sometimes band together, like Apple did with a wide range of companies against North Carolina’s viciously homophobic “bathroom use” legislation


iPhones are made in basically slave labor camps located in China where gay marriage is illegal. Trump wants to control Muslim immigration. Muslims are killing gays in America. Must be something in that San Francisco water.

Morford has been clearly mentally ill since well before the Bush presidency, in case you are encountering his adolescent drooling for the first time. He’s not even worth making fun of.

Miss Morford is back, still more concerned about what is in his backside.

We , sane , sensible people , christians and civilized , have no need of all those trendy stuffs from “Apple” and so on ...

The big global business needs BRAINWASHED PEOPLE who can buy everything they don’t need , who follow advertisings and politically driven media propaganda

Yep! I’ve noticed ever since Jobs died Apple is rudderless.

BTW, the new CEO is gay but his policies are pro LGBT unless of course it affects his profits.

Apple claims billions in profits, hundreds of billions in cash, but then proclaims they couldn’t possibly manufacture their products in the countries they sell those products such as the USA.

Lying liberals, but I repeat myself.

If Apple wants to sell products in the USA then they should build in the USA. If they want to sell in India or Europe or anywhere else, they should build in those nations.

Trump is right: America First! Not Apple’s China.

Daughter, long time iphone user/lover (for years), just dumped it for a Galaxy.

I still have a 7 y/o LG phone that works fine. On my third battery.

Try changing your battery you iphone users!

My payday is July 1, and I am going to get a new phone...not an I phone, apple or anything connected to them...

If these phones are made in China, we have children making them, we have cheap parts, and anything else you can think of, and then to come over here and associate with one the biggest traitors to our Country, Paul Ryan, that is a blatant slap in our faces...so Apple, I phone, whatever doesn’t need OUR American Business!!!

If Trump is elected, I look forward to the utter lack of influence Apple will have with his administration.

I have a Droid Turbo. Works fine. Won’t be “upgrading”. Had an iPhone 4, it sucked.

Me: “Call Home”
iPhone: “Calling 911”

Me: “Call Wife Work”
iPhone: “Calling Stephanie”

Me: “Call Todd”
iPhone: “Playing Music by {random group}”

That got real old, real fast. That, and the Bluetooth never worked. Always disconnected. The wife’s work phone is an iPhone 6. It is no better.

Conservatives are not petulant. They will look at the market place and make decisions.

We are also principled. I do not shop at Target. I do not purchase General Mills Foods.

For the next few days, even though it is my primary choice, I won’t be paying any expendable bills with my American Express Card.

This is how things operate.

Apple is making a calculation that they will do better without helping the Republicans than by doing business with them. Let’s see how that works out.

Apparently Apple feels the need to get out of the computer business and tackle liberal activism.

I guess since Apple is now ‘Widows and Orphans’ investment instead of a ‘Technology Innovator’ retail sales aren’t too important.

All Samsung all the way, never Apple computers or smartphones. My computer is a gateway, probably about 5 years old now.
