communism no iPhone
The communism my mother warned me about!
I'm glad China tackling the American spyware problem. A democratic government can't allow its citizen to be victims of espionage by a racist imperialist state. We can't allow Sleepy Joe to have access to Chinese citizens' personal data.
Apple isn't innovative, anyways. They implement already-existing features onto their models for a slight upgrade, and sell it at monopoly prices.
Also, planned obsolescence...
slight upgrade
Or they remove practical features to make it more minimalist and Rube Goldbergian, such as wired charging and headphone jacks.
They have done it
Gobbyism no eyefon

Genuine tears of laughter.
We've not even really seen the start of the consequences of BRICS expansion yet. Do you think China is just doing some teasers so it's not so much of a shock to the west when the rug is swiped from beneath imperialism?
Oh yeah, I think this is just a preview of things to come.
BRICS expansion is when no iphone
Now I just hope Huawei gets to do business in the rest of the world. I don't want my huawei phone back on GMS, I want the world to also support HMS (huawei mobile services) on top of GMS if they want to.

Good
Communism no ifon
Were they really that prevalent in Chinese government anyway? I would assume they would be using China made phones already for the most part. If you look at the stock over the past 6 months look like it took a massive hit a little while back and my guess is things where already looks bad so they pumped it recently then the insiders dumped at the top and are blaming everything they can on the market failure. Sure, I mean, the ban from China isn't helping, but that recent pump up with this timing for the dump seems to coincidental to me.
Frankly, the only surprising thing to me is that China allowed government officials to use phones that aren't domestically produced.

Same question here, I'm flabbergasted they were not already forbidden for use for government officials
Itโs not just the gov, but this trend will flow down to the rest of the citizens as well.
I expect that's the actual reason for the stock drop. I recall reading an article a while back how Apple had trouble competing with Android in China because everybody uses WeChat for everything, and it's basically the main app people care about. Since you do practically everything through WeChat, it doesn't really matter what OS you use. It makes all the Apple apps and integrations irrelevant. People still got iPhones cause they've been a status symbol, but I think now we'll see more people getting Huawei because it feels good that your own country can produce a phone that's as good as what Americans make.
Oh boy they gonna unload their vault next stock buybacks.
Ah yes, perfectly functioning economy we've got over here. slaps hood
This baby will never break down. finger guns
I would imagine Cupertino is panicking ahead of their big iphone event
oh damn maybe we shouldnโt have done sanctions against our largest trade partner lol
