  • Apple boycott by Chinese firms supporting Huawei is escalating

    OMG, is Foxconn telling its employees not to buy Apple products?  Don't their jobs depend on it?

    The Chinese  are hurting themselves.

    Apple should just make a hostile takeover of Qualcomm, fire the entire management without golden parachutes, sell off the assets, hire key personnel, and liquidate the rest.

    That would give the kind of signal that would stop this sort of nonsense.
    Nope. I say let them die, while Apple builds its own 5G chips. 
    Qualcomm is losing its mind.   XR and XS use Intel chips. 
    They can’t even get the old iPhones with Qualcomm chips banned with iOS 12.

    With each passing vile move Qualcomm makes, the more I say, let them burn in hell and go bankrupt from legal fines... I hate this company.

    Any iPhone running iOS 12 can be sold. Qualcomm is toast and they know it. 
    That Qualcomm has to resort to buying iPhones with Intel chips in them is pitiful. 
    Let them burn in hell.

    This will be widely misreported because the “news” organizations are a complete joke, contributing to another big slide on AAPL stock. Guaranteed.
    Oh well. Bottom line, Apple ships all these iPhones with iOS 12 now. Although I don’t think they ship the 6 anymore.  So it makes sense that all the phones are available in China. The ban has no effect.

    First CVS and now Target. The big prize is Walmart of course and I wonder how long till they give in.
    Probably a while - the average WalMart customer doesn’t have an iPhone...
    They do have iPhones and credit/debit cards.  Some may need to be shown how to set it up and use it.
    These stores are learning that customers don't want to use a different payment system for every store.

    Apple Pay is driving mobile payments globally.  Any vendor that does not support it will eventually lose some sales and have more credit/debit fraud cases to deal with.  That leads to higher fraud insurance premiums for them.

    Not to mention that Apple Pay speeds up payment processing lines.   Walgreens cashiers love ApplePay as it supports both Walgreens Rewards in addition to payments.  No code or phone number to enter and no change to give back.  Just beep and go. Face ID makes it even easier.
