Like so much we see today, those reports were based on incorrect assumptions bolstered by facts accumulated to support the false assumption.

In this case, the false assumption was:  "Because iPhones are assembled in China and Chinese society and manufacturing were destroyed, the iPhones cannot be produced".

The fact is:  China took drastic but effective action and they are back up and running.  Currently their main limitation seems to be that they are blocking any foreigners from entering their country in order to block the resurgence of infections they are now seeing from foreigners.

What a bs! China made so many mistakes!!! Most of my friends and many business partners are still in lockdown in China! How do you do business with a country where you can't travel to? You DON'T. China will hit a major recession and a lot o people here are very angry because the outbreak could have been prevented.

I can't think of anything better than its citizens to rise up once and for all and topple that government

I bet most of the Chinese citizens would beg to differ. Their government isn't as bad as our media depicts it to be, and many are just perfectly fine with it.  

Unless you are on the wrong side. They don't have a choice btw.  Just looking at the point system, no travel, no tickets, they fine your kids for what you did. I have zero tolerance for a Communist regime telling Apple or anyone in the USA what to do. 

Foxconn is such a smart company! Who said again it can't be done? Next thing I know my new phone is assembled in Wisconsin lol

The issue is Apple should’ve been for forthcoming on decisions like this. But it wouldn’t stop the conspiracy theories. 

We all know Apple is doing this to make people upgrade to either an iPhone 8 or iPhone X. /s

I bet there will soon be a lawsuit over this with some dipshit and some scumbag lawyer claiming this is what Apple is doing with no real proof what so ever. 

Apple is damned if they do and damned if they don't. 

They could at least let us know what they are doing. It's no secret for years that IOS updates slow down older device! There are plenty of Apple Fan boy who didn't want to here that, until now they get it from Apple LOL

Call me very skeptical.  What was the actual wording of the rejection?  Without a direct quote, I'm let to believe that the "reason" is speculation rather than Apple's justification.

Seeing the actual wording of the rejection would be nice. As is it sounds like secondhand info -- that you're reporting on what your dev told you. But did you see the rejection personally? What did it say?

Why would we lie about this? What a weird reaction to have.

LOL...you did write about jailbreaking! Here comes big brother watching you ;-)
