This is awful. I don’t think China would have kicked out Apple. Right now the default is iCloud is on.

Even if they hadn't kicked out Apple, there would have been an unending stream of coverage like this, accusing Apple of being "a spoiled little princess that thinks it doesn't have to play by the rules" after Batterygate. http://www.xinhuanet.com/tech/2018-01/05/c_1122216610.htm …

I also wonder what kind of leverage contract manufacturing represents. Foxconn etc. aren't state-owned, of course, but they damn sure are state-supported.

Maybe. They should have taken the chance. This crosses such a major line. The downstream of this... They are wildly profitable. Why undo so much good? smh

This isn’t going to matter in terms of profit. This deal allows them to sell $1000 phones at crazy margin in China. The shareholders would support this decision and the readers of Twitter are not the customers here.

In the end it’s about power and States are supreme - doubly so for super powers.
