First of all, Apple shouldn’t have helped. In reality, however, Apple gave the IC back doors so they didn’t even need to do so to begin with. That whole thing was either a ploy to get a legal precedent set, or to make apple look good to the people who value privacy.
iphones: over-ratted; imacs: underpowered. I have a Samsung watch, phone, and tablet and an HP laptop replacing my iphone, ipad, and imac. Happier now! I went to the Apple Store this week - closed, empty. Used to be packed. Covid or just an epiphany? Wasn't Epiphany's a department store at one time?
What they did was fucked up. Consistent with some of their other decisions. But obviously politically motivated & total bullshit. Luckily this shit has been contrained to their app store decisions.
Are you the old guy from Pepridge farm? That's a valid point.
Big Tech, like congress and the alphabet agencies, is full of crypto-Muslims.
It's jihad, plain and simple.
For those of you who don't already know, look up what "taqiyya" and "kitman" are.
What search engine do you recommend?
Still trying to figure that one out myself. I had been using duckduckgo but apparently they take $oro$ money so I need a new one now.

Apple is a Chinese company.
It's <current year> after all.
I had forgotten about that, this is a great point!
China didn't need that phone unlocked.
We are in a post-capitalist world, Apple is not interested in making money anymore by undermining their products.
Yep
I wonder why they were so hesitant to work with the FBI in 2015?
Hmm...
Maybe they have better things to do like fuck hookers and spend their money.
Because we are a bigger threat
Yup. You've got that straight.
Fair point.
Parler is technically the worst of all alternative platforms. It only has one benefit that I see: It is owned by a Jew.
Better platforms include:
Stop The Steal infrastructure, wiki, chat.
Gotta love the hypocrisy.

Apple stole ideas from Xerox, Samsung and others...
How many people here defended apples "right" to it unlock that phone? Aka, protect terrorists.
