Apple is a super aggressive greedy bully, will do whatever it takes to keep generating its billions. Remember they were going super nuclear on android, well that worked out well for them, they lost that war. Apple now trying to screw over Qualcomm, because all they are thinking about is their share price and retaining their ridiculous profit margins.

What have you been using??? Apple going nuclear on Android is simply a quote from Steve Jobs biography that never materialized. Android collapsed under its own "diversity", with no incentive for developers in delivering real (paid) apps to that platform. Apple did go after Samsung for ripping off its designs, and that got quite well. But Apple did eat Samsung lunch when it launched the bigger iPhones, so many years ago. Samsung mobile division isn't a whisper of what it was before iPhone 6.
As a consumer, I'd sure like to have cheaper Apple products, in part because there's just so many of them that I desire to buy, but all this desirability comes from the investment they make on those billions of profit. There is no such thing as a free lunch...
As for Qualcomm, CDMA (which Qualcomm owns virtually all IP) never flourished in most of the world because most people didn't want to become Qualcomm's bitch. Now, well into 4G and coming 5G, that's not so relevant anymore, and Qualcomm is trying to stay afloat through litigation, which is a sound strategy only in the US.

the mask being at 100%, (highly doubtful, would kill you)

I'd assume that a person, on an oxygen tank, is having trouble breathing, like pulmonary insufficiency. If that's the case (most likely) then a 100 % O2 may be needed to keep you alive. Also, if I remember correctly, while prolonged exposure to high concentrations of O2 are indeed toxic, they only make you pass out, not kill you outright.

A 100 % oxygen environment is a fire hazard of the utmost potential danger. Of the three people that the victim could sue: her parents, for raising her stupid; the medical equipment company, for not dumbproofing their equipment to a ridiculous extent; Apple for not antecipating the most egregious use cases of their devices. Apple has the biggest pockets, so I blame her parents, that raised her that stupid and that greedy!

I'm sure that Chinese Companies and individuals will see their social scores increase by participating in these boycotts.

The Five Eyes are aligned against Chinese Telecom equipment, and as they should be. There's no odds in a telecom infrastructure from an authoritarian government known for IP theft.

If Apple gets beaten up in China, then I'm  guessing that China will no longer be the supply chain for Apple Products.

The Five Eyes already has a lot Huawei gear. Nothing surprising in that. What is new is the US desperately trying to stop Huawei progress for technological and political reasons under the guise of security and doing so, so late in the day that the UK roll out of 5G could be put back by a year and cost a lot more. All without a shred of evidence.

I'm not seeing the need for proof, no more than China would  by banning / eliminating U.S.telecom equipment. Were you aware that Huawei is providing AI hardware to the Chinese Government for upgrading its already intrusive network spying on its own citizens? 

China has an authoritarian government, President for Life, and China is adamant about seizing the South China Sea per it's claims, which bodes ill for international trade. Given the rampant IP theft, and Chinese Hacking, I'm not seeing why democracies would risk using Huawei infrastructure.

Great Britain is in the process of reevaluating Huawei equipment; the rest, including the U.S., have little in the way of Huawei equipment in place, and most of that will be removed or replaced.

"In Australia, experts are also concerned about cyber-security attacks against our institutions and businesses emanating from China.

For example, consider recent reports in this newspaper that China’s peak security agency directed a surge in cyber attacks on Australian companies over the past year; and that internet traffic heading for Australia was diverted to China for a six-day period.

There's no suggestion Huawei is in anyway involved in these attacks. But the government's decision to ban it from Australia's 5G networks was certainly based on concerns about China.

"A long history of cyber incidents shows cyber actors target Australia and Australians," Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Mitch Fifield said in their joint statement back in August without directly mentioning China.

"The government considers that the involvement of vendors who are likely to be subject to
extrajudicial directions from a foreign government that conflict with Australian law, may risk
failure by the carrier to adequately protect a 5G network from unauthorised access or
interference."

In other words, the government was concerned that even if Huawei wasn't directly controlled by the Chinese government (the vendor has always denied that it is), under the country's laws it wouldn't be able to resist any demands made on it by Beijing."

Huawei is not China. 

For that matter, Apple is not the US either...

Well, this is one article that people who claim AI readers are Apple fanboys and/or apologists will be sure to avoid!
