The USA is likely the largest spy on the internet. US technology is likely laced with support for US spying, and tech companies are under orders to turn over pretty much anything deemed 'dangerous' to the state which of course is a constantly evening definition.  The funny thing is when it comes to Space X investors ETC - capitalism has no morals, no ethics. Making money is seen by many as defendable at any cost, and the US. Supreme Court gives almost mystical power to capitol - it is equaled to 'free speech'. So money talks and everyone has to listen. Greed wins. Than many act surprised when it happens.

I don't know. I see what people pay for cars and I can't believe it. Or what some people spend on a TV. There's cheaper options but those companies and products seem to do fine. Apple seems to put a couple hundred atop their products and get away with it. And quality wise, Apple has always had the most reliable hardware with the strictest sourcing. So I'm not sure a high price is a big worry. If it's too expensive you can buy a cheaper model. You don't even need to change brands from BMW to Honda.

without FACE ID? I don't think so.

Thanks Biden-Harris 

Exactly. Agreed to a year ago before the 'destroy the economy quickly' folks were elected.

Just another ridicule moment in months of sad failures. Rome fell too. And they always thought they were 'going back to a golden age'.
