Do you have a source for that claim, or are you just making stuff up?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3456654/Apple-refusing-unlock-San-Bernardino-terrorist-s-phone-ask-did-seemingly-let-China-secret-data-security-checks-year.html I think if you do a Google Search plenty more articles can be found.

DailyBollocks is your source ???  Aaaahahahahahahahahahhahahaha...

It's quite scary to read lame brain comments and opinions all around from supposedly educated people and see how they are turning into mob with torches. They don't think even for a second how easy it would be for FBI to 'shop' with Apple on any other 'national interest' occasion.. So, when another Hoover declares another Luther King a public enemy No.1, Apple will just have to serve them with all what they need, right? I bet he won't make it even to Alabama border... As always, Tim doesn't say a lot, but he talk wise and sees the future. And as always, people hearing without listening and ignore the possible reality. As much as I wouldn't want Tim to be so much more political than Steve was, I have to admit that being political on his position is probably unavoidable and I have to say that today my heart is full of admiration for this man. Never ever in a history of human kind before has one man on such responsible and high place stood up against most powerful government backed by corporations and their henchmen of dubious reputation. He wouldn't have to. He's sitting on a pile of gold. He did it for you, too. As far as FBI: promote and change working practices, improve and not trying to change encryption and privacy rules. There's a lot of other means to get to terrorist's ecosystem.

Bill's been a statist for quite some time, and he's nowhere near the 'nice guy' he's portrayed to be. 

Right...so if Bill disagrees with Apple, he's obviously a "statist" and not "nice guy he's portrayed to be". Thoughtful comment. Got any more gems.

Unfortunately, Bill is not a statist. This is also a clue, why he is not 'nice guy'. It's hardly a surprise he stood up for government. He was told to do so. He's 'government man' for at least 30 year, brut forcing public finances all over the world with his bulk licensing model and undermine every attempt of every federal and local government to turn to any other solution. But this is goes only by quid pro quo. By being 'government man' he's also a 'corporation's man' for for some 2 decades and if you believe he's just fighting malaria, go and educate yourself what are large 'charity' foundations really used for. Find out a bit about Monstanto, perhaps also about Blackwater, find out how GMO crops follows the trail of 'charity' foundations around poor and war battled (God know where the war came from, a? countries and you will understand, why he is not a good guy and why does this have nothing to do with his relation to Apple. Go and educate yourself, it's easy, if you try.

In UK almost all was done at launch. Major banks and this was it. Withe exception of Barclays morons that hoped they will kill Apple Pay with their wrist bands Problem is getting aboard all the retailers and the biggest problem is limiting payment to 30£. Same rule for contactless credit card without pin and Apple Pay with fingerprint authentication... Stupid...
