The reduction in cash flow must hurt. 

Yep, this is just wrong by Apple.

They are using their power to bully supplier's.

Apple make more than enough money off their devices and by threatening suppliers to reduce costs with only one aim to make them even more money to feed the share price rise, it makes me sick. Hope Apple get shackled with huge fine on this one and it tarnishes their reputation too.

No need for me to do it...since your hoof is so far down your gullet, you can kick your own butt.

Along with the usual platitudes about environmentally sound design, the feature explored Apple's design genesis with architect Norman Foster, as well as intricate details like custom doorhandles and elevator buttons.

Well that's a bit harsh. With anybody else, I would have to agree, but Apple's investment in and commitment to - renewable energy, is hardly deserving of "platitudes'.

FTC leave this American company alone. Are you anti-american ? Qualcomm worked hard to create intellectual property and they can charge reasonably to whomever they want. No one asking to use their tech... Atleast Qualcomm is not like those patent trolls who did not create patients in first place and than don't use patents to create products. You need to go after them.

Seriously? You think obnoxious overcharging, double dipping, spiteful disregard for existing agreements, monopolistic practices and flagrantly trashing FRAND licensing agreements affecting the worldwide mobile industry...is OK because...American!

Interesting. I'm seeing a trend here. Trump gathers tech leaders together who jointly tell him that jobs are not coming 'back to America'...because 'infrastructure!' So Trump says "OK, but you gotta do something to merit a tax holiday for your offshore cash"
Apple: "Right, we'll invest in the future by supporting US companies and emerging technology"

Two words...Little Snitch
