Classic stuff, Apple. While I can wrap my head around them sucking off China since that is where all their child labor factories are, playing ball with Russia shows who they are. Glad I switched to an open source OS for my phone.
- shows who they are.
  A corporation. And when corporations have to make a choice, profit will always come first.
  
  Yeah but sometimes it also feels like they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire either tho lol just because
  
  Oh no... They WOULD piss on you. Just not to help put out the fire.
- There's no child labour factories in China, this is just racism. The child labour is in the USA.
