What Apple will do is file a claim with the insurance and forget about it. There will be no lobbying of the government to arm security guards or build to build impenetrable facades to protect a pile of electronics. I am sure the security guards are not paid enough to risk there lives in attempting to protect electronic hardware.

Everyone needs to stop using the term “fake news”. The use of the term normalizies it. This was a rumor. There is a important difference between fake news and a rumor.

When Jony says “And or there's just a flippancy and just this general sense of, "Well, we just have to get it done," and this, sort of, sense of inevitability.”. That statement to me confirms what the loss of Steve Jobs means. Apple cannot be the same without Steve Jobs and has to become something else. No one, no matter how much they want or try to, will  be able to keep Apple being the Apple we knew. Not anyone there now or that may join the company regardless of their age. Steve Jobs did’nt make Apple what it was because he was young, but because he was who he was. There will forever only be one Steve Jobs. We can all see the things that Apple is doing that we can be pretty sure Steve would never have done or allowed. The best example of this is the plethoria of different iPhones you can buy today. Eight, count them. When Steve died you could only buy one the 4S announced the day before he died. When Steve came back to Apple one of the first things he did was eliminate the complex product line. Today I have the same problem as people did then. I want a certain feature in my phone but it only comes in the “plus version” but I don’t want a phone that big. So I go without. So the iPhone has become like BBQ sauce where there are too many choices on the shelf in front of you to make the choice obvious or without sacrifice. So I guess this says that Jony is back to doing what he did before Steve came back. Being “ineffective”.

Does not speak to high confidence if you discount the product with a promo upon your release announcement.

Welcome to the fascist state

LOL. Lest ye forget, 'twas the previous administration that was revealed as having massive illegal wiretapping and data collection operations in place.

That's right! I do remember hearing that on Fox News. Thank you for reminding us of this. Now we can all question and doubt anything that is said thanks to the con man in the WH. There is no truth to anything because we call what is unquestionably the truth a lie. Anything goes. The truth is a thing of the past. Welcome to the Trump Amerika.

You didn't hear it from Fox News, you heard it from Ed Snowden and Wikileaks, buddy.

No I heard it on Fox News. The WikiLeaks thing is just an alternative fact that you are giving. Or maybe Fox news is an alternative fact. Maybe there never was any wiretapping. Now that I think of it I heard there was no wire tapping. Wait, no I am wrong it was George W. that ordered the wiretapping. Yes he had a meeting with the Russians and then ordered the wire tapping. I also heard it was the Chinese. Actually it was Dick Cheney who did it. He still has a secret office in the WH where he reviews all the data that comes in. By they way this is the best forum comment you will ever see. It's yuge!
