    LIke I had mentioned in earlier comment here. This whole apology thingy is going to help Apple down the line and not other wise as all the Wall Street folks kept saying. I see China Mobile deal happening soon. Instead of that $18 Billion loss it would be $36 Billion of increase.

    The Chinese government and media accused Apple refusing to replace the iPhone back when replacing a new iPhone.  The  IMEI is inscribed in the back of iPhone.  So it seems Apple China already knew this crime and implemented such policy.
