At what point does Apple tell countries like Japan NO!  We are not giving away our technologies for free.  At some point Apple will have to make a decision to pull out of a market like Japan and let their citizens voice their opinion at the voting booth.  

I'm the S5 coupe owner you helped with my ordered S5 showed up with multiple dents in my Audi.  We plan to replace my wife's A4 with the new SQ9 which I have been following for at least the last couple of years.  One of our requirements is our new car had to have the new Apple CarPlay Ultra, I've read this morning that Audi has backed out of their original commitment to the enhanced CarPlay.  If that decision is true Audi will not be included in our search after owning (5) Audis we're moving on  Not a big fan of Kia but Kia has now been added to our list.  I thought you should know our feelings.  Thank you Russell.  PS, I still love my red S5 coupe which might be my last race car!  Sent to an Audi VP I know.

Thank you, very good article explaining these new features.

Late breaking news… all seven are attorneys specializing in class action lawsuits!  Just kidding, I think.

Apple could also just pull out of the UK entirely, fire all their UK employees, and stop buying UK goods and services.  I know they won't, but feck all fascist governments.

Even though I am a shareholder of Apple stock I would agree, let Apple pull out of the UK market 100%.  Let those British iPhone users go out and have to buy new non iPhone phones.  Let's see how that goes over.  It's time for Apple to put their foot down.  If they do it for UK, the rest of the world will soon follow.  Apple, grow a pair!
