Now this has got my interest. I keep thinking I need a new iPad, I have the 9.7” Pro, but this is a very nice looking machine and a fair few quid less then the Pro. 64GB should be enough too for my use. It’s one of these things, if you want a laptop replacement then get the Pro but it’ll cost you, it you want a tablet media consumption device with a fresh design the new iPad Air is a winner, I think. Good job Apple.

So they don’t know enough about Apple’s environmental efforts but criticize it. Hahaha. So funny.
 I wouldn’t want to share anything with such kind of people. 

You don’t know about them either it seems.. 

Apple fully deserves its criticism in this! This was a select committee which is made up of cross party members, not all from the current executive, it is used regularly for companies to be scrutinised and has seen many a big name CEO, the fact Apple failed to send anybody will not go down well with them. More fool Apple.

Open bribery, guess that’s the nature of business over there, but it does prove Apple are worried about these investigations, must mean they don’t feel as confident of winning, probably because they are guilty.

Or most likely because they knew that without a bribe they had no chance of winning. 

Apple has simply adapted to the situation on the ground. They’re dealing with a country that has a built a revolving door to the prison housing Samsung executives. Their case was not going to be won on its merits, it was going to be won on bribes. Illegal in some countries, par for the course in others.  

Your additional ‘probably because they’re guilty’ is just you exposing your antipathy towards Apple, ‘probably’ because you’re upset by the ASi plan (see how easy that is?)

And your ignoring Apples history, they have a habit of taking everything to court no matter what! The only case I remember they backed out from was with its spat with Ericsson, because they damn well knew Ericsson would have ripped them to pieces in the court room.
So I don’t buy your sentiment here as Apples historical behaviour proves you wrong and indicates Apples guilty conscience.

Open bribery, guess that’s the nature of business over there, but it does prove Apple are worried about these investigations, must mean they don’t feel as confident of winning, probably because they are guilty.
