Funny, I've seen exactly ZERO politicians who understand this encryption/back door debate. What's worse was for Obama to goto SXSW and act all "in" with the tech crowd only to say something stupid like, you can't be "absolutists". Uh, that's the whole point of encryption and security... duh. To give credit to Trump, Cook has mentioned he would love to make more and more things in the US, maybe with Trump reversing corporate inversions once he's POTUS, more US companies will be incentivized to build at home. Hmm, maybe not such an outlandish idea (to build at home) after all.

Still blowing the horn of the Frenemies theme, eh?

I wish we could go back to the old days of Apple vs. Samsung.

You neglect the elephant in the room that's the real reason why profits are down at both companies, the Chinese phone makers who are willing to make zero to negative profit to take market share and shamelessly copy down to the last pixel, marketing material, and even the dress code of a certain famous founder of a fruit named company.
