"The account cited a dozen former Apple employees, all speaking anonymously as to avoid breaching confidentiality agreements."

To avoid breaching the agreement? Actually it's  to avoid getting caught breaching the agreement, since they all breached the agreement.

This argument is little different than the argument that the rich in general don't pay enough taxes, when in reality the richest 10% pay the majority of federal income tax...in fact the bottom 50% of earners pay almost no federal tax at all.

Given that Apple is Communist China's henchman in helping enforce the great firewall and blocking any news critical of the communist party, their claims here about defending balanced news are hilarious.

So the multinational corporation is worried about elected officials accountable to the people meddling with the constitution. I guess Apple prefers to do the meddling themselves. Certainly they have welcomed their communist Chinese overlords with open arms, censorship and all, without a complaint.

Apple outsources 98% of it's manufacturing. This is the equivalent of GM saying the're energy neutral because their corporate office has solar panels, meanwhile their factories in China are burning coal.

The hypocrisy is striking. Apple happily does business in countries where homosexuality is punishable by execution and says nothing about it because they know it would cost them money.

India's economy is highly unregulated. There is little to no enforcement of trademarks or copyrights. You can buy bootleg movies and software on the street, openly, with no fear of prosecution. So why this focus on used iphones?Focusing on enforcing a law in this one particular instance illustrates lack of the rule of law which is the biggest hinderance to investment in third world countries.

 If India wants to join the first world they have to avoid protectionist reactionism and consistently enforce impartial laws that do not favor local industry over international companies. Why do you think India has such a huge brain drain the the US? Because there are far greater opportunities here--companies can invest without the fear that the government with come after them with a grudge.

Amazing. Now I can text in a much less efficient and slower way than I can with the phone that is in my pocket a few inches from my apple watch.
