Apple to build two new Chinese R&D centers, spend $507M on research
Your last sentence answer your first sentence's question.macxpress said:I don't know why Apple keeps spending all of this money in China. China is not Apple's friend and continuing to spend Billions there isn't going to change that. China would go against Apple today if it were any benefit to them.
Apple's reason: strengthening ties with Chinese universities and businesses will help China see that its own success is tightly aligned with Apple's success. China won't hurt Apple if that means hurting itself.

Google's second-gen Pixel due in 2017, will tackle Apple iPhone in 'premium' segment
A friend had to replace a Samsung Note 7 and considered Pixel Phone since it came out around the time of the Note 7 recall.
He did not buy the Pixel Phone: "No waterproofing, whereas I can get that with other phones."
I don't see Pixel Phone surviving any more than the recently cancelled Chromebook Pixel.
