Popcorn ready! It is about time the US stepped up and filed this case. Concerned about safety? Only download from the official Apple Store. Your iPhone should be like your Mac - download what you want from where you want and accept that there are risks to doing so if you go outside the Mac App Store. 

Or maybe switch to Android where you can put whatever you want on the device. I mean, that's a viable alternative, no? And isn't that the whole point? There are alternatives to using Apple products. Choosing to use Apple products means you choose to work within the constraints of the ecosystem, constraints Apple put in place to protect the security of the devices, which is a big reason why people choose Apple over Android.

I realize the DOJ is an independent entity from the political parties,

I hope this was sarcasm. Nothing could be less true in reality. 

While that may be true, is it more influenced by congress or the senate? Because I'm pretty sure the POTUS doesn't actually snap his fingers and tells the DOJ to take action.  I'm actually asking.

Not voting for either idiot for president this year!!!

Amazon is more of a Monopoly threat, then Apple or Google.  How many mom and Pop shops have been closed because of Walmart and Amazon and other big box stores. buying products from Apple or Google or 7-Eleven is a consumers choice.

Hmmm. Not an expert on the way this works but I'm pretty sure the POTUS and his party doesn't just tell the DOJ who and what they should go after.

Also, I'd be concerned that you don't see any difference between a party lead by a man who is trying to destroy American democracy and a man who is considered just too old (and yet somehow also a conniving genius).

The VIDEO dude. As it was announced. They clearly tried to minimize cable visibility. The hippie with long hair, the Asian girl wearing curtains, etc. it was glaring. Don’t pretend. 

LOL! You are literally pointing out all the incidents in which you noticed the cable to make the argument that they tried to hide the cable.

You’re contradicting your own point. 

The new store is over 4x the size of the original. Just the sales area is double what the entire old store used to be.
