I definitely wonder about all these other social media apps. I really don’t think most of them are being investigated thoroughly enough.

Yep, FB and Twitter has been brilliant 'coloured revolution' tools for the US intelligent service and related entities eg. NED. LOL!

Apple‘s entry to 5G is already late and it's hardly a prediction that Apple will need to release 5G compatible iPhones next year at the latest. Whilst some may claim Apple needed not release 5G phones, fact is, the world is far bigger than just the slow to move US 5G market unless that's how Apple sees its market. 5G has been aggressively rolled out in the largest mobile market on the planet and absence of Apple is more of a worry for Apple than anyone else.

Guys, it's only beta 1! Go and report the bugs and wait for Apple to fix it.

Hypocrites! Let's call the Russians to come in and meddle in US politics too.

Valuing how people are treated isn’t “politics”; it’s baseline humanity…

When workers died at the factories making Apple products everyone was outraged, saying that Apple couldn’t be all about profit.

Now people are dying, and severely mistreated, for other reasons; and Apple is once again playing a part.

I expect people to once again value more than just profits. 

Unfortunately, certain sectors in the West have enjoyed the holier than thou mentality for too long. If one reads the media reports from both sides on numerous worldly events, including US-China events, it's amazing how different and how biased those US centric media have reported. Media in the West have now become the tool in the geopolitical tussle, evidence of such was clear even back in the GW Bush days with the reporting of non-existent WMD by the NYT. The bias is incredible but most in the West have accepted them as gospel, a condition that can be described as brainwashing. As for mistreating, well, industrialisation actually have to take steps. If all workers need to be paid at US, oops, US screws workers too, better to talk about European factory workers' rate, then no third world country will be able to industrialise as no businesses would go there without the financial incentive in this capitalistic world. But with investment to lower cost countries, it gives the people and workers there an opportunity to elevate themselves out of poverty. Of course, it also requires sound management by the government as what has happened in China. By next year, China will completely eradicate poverty in the country ie. 700+ million. That's real human rights! Here, Apple's engagement is the correct course both for its business as well as to recognise the strengths of China. People vs Profit, well, the wise will choose the best jurisdiction to have a balance of both. At present, China is the premium pick on this planet.
