Shares dropped 2% on the news that China is hyper nationalist.

In other news, water is wet and you might get soaked in 1mm of rain around midnight tonight. Take an umbrella folks!

To be fair (and let’s be clear, I hate Apple), they have a pretty good reputation for privacy pro-consumer. I’m sure that’s a business decision, but still.

Didn’t that start as an attempt at damage control because they forked over user data, just like Google?

China has so many phone brands they don’t even have to use a US brand. It was surprising it took this long after Huawei and ZTE was banned by Trump back in 2017.

They were using iPhones before? NSA must have had a very easy time lately.
