Dassault Group is one of the leading arms manufacturers in Europe. Currently working on the fighter generation after F-35 (without US). Seems AVP is going dual-purpose.

You honestly believe Apple products are not used by military or other secret service agencies!? Dream on. 

Looks like Leon Murks is better at making deals ... he bought a whole government including freedom from legal controls and investigation and lots of taxpayer money for his shitty cars/rockets/satellites at the prise of $18+ billion for just $300 mil instead of almost nothing for $500 billion.

Leaving MagSafe out is inherently logical from a manufacturing point of view.
Since the materials needed  for MagSafe (rare earth) are exceedingly rare outside of China, which puts high tariffs on exports or doesn't even allow export unless it's in a manufactured product (thanks to the tariff war that one orange idiot started a couple of years ago) ... and I bet one main design goal was to produce the cheap-o version outside of China (mainly in India) to avoid US import tarriffs (that a certain orange felon recently introduced). Since this is the low-cost model, there is no room for 'expensive' features in that setting.

Seriously!? They trust a promise from any thug of the tRump regime. So Apple can be totally stupid indeed.

So the Apple enshittification continues. Soon the whole Apple Privacy schtick will become as ridiculous as Google's 'Don't be Evil' lie.
