Being associated with the disgraced Volkswagen Group is not something to brag about.

I'm amazed at the mental gymnastics used to move the goal posts and in general hate on Apple. Amazing.  

To clarify it was not my intent at all. Apple being perhaps the most reputable and ethical company on the planet associated with a company that engaged in one of the most devious and unethical plots does not sit well with me. I'd sell them all the iPhones they wanted but I would not mention it publicly.

 That is a fair point, but Volkswagen is just a bunch of people. The people associated with the scandal have likely been purged.

An organization buying over a half million phones is a good story for Apple.

I get that Apple worries how permanent security would look around the store, but one of these  thieving morons is going to hurt somebody. 

Yeah and Apple's brand will take a hammering especially considering that this has been going on for some time and Apple the richest company in the world has done zilch, it's kinda eresponsible of Apple

Apple pays the mall. It is supposed to provide security.

This is Awesome. The Guardian is my most hated fake news outlet. 

This is just silly commentary. I accept that you don't like the Guardian, but to call it a fake news outlet is symptomatic of the Trumpian self righteous bullshit that seems to be everywhere these days. 

Yes we we are living in times when if a fact isn't liked and reported all the sudden it is labeled fake news. We are all doomed when we can't even agree on basic facts.

Its McCarthism all over again. You don't like something somebody said, label them a communist.

Todays its label the person a leftist, right winged, etc. It is simply a way of avoiding addressing the merits of an issue.

Apple has flat-out given up on their software on the Macintosh platform. It used to be the iWorks and iLife packages were a "must have", now it's just given away as an afterthought... It's so frustrating.

You read the article right? Apple charges for Final Cut Pro. Like always iMovie is free with a new Mac purchase.

Friken finally.

I got a 4k tv last year and are dying to run 4k media on it. 

It really was unacceptable that ATV4 did not have 4k.

Engineering is about balance.  At the time 4G didn't make sense from Apples perspective for variety reasons.  I bought one and found  it perfectly acceptable.
