The New York Times uncovered that Apple is involved in large-scale surveillance and censorship at the behest of China. It is sad, but not surprising: big tech companies often choose profits over freedoms.
Apple is very efficient at pursuing their business model, which is based on selling overpriced, obsolete hardware to customers locked in their ecosystem.
Every time I have to use an iPhone to test our iOS app I feel like I’m thrown back into the Middle Ages. The iPhone’s 60Hz displays can’t compete with the 120Hz displays of modern Android phones that support much smoother animations.
The worst part of Apple’s tech though is not clunkier devices or outdated hardware. Owning an iPhone makes you a digital slave of Apple – you are only allowed to use apps that Apple lets you install via their App Store, and you can only use Apple’s iCloud to natively back up your data.
It’s no wonder that Apple’s totalitarian approach is so appreciated by the Communist Party of China, which – thanks to Apple – now has complete control over the apps and data of all its citizens who rely on iPhones.

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America.
See, 35 wayward Republicans—they just can’t help themselves. We have much better policy and are much better for the Country, but the Democrats stick together, the Republicans don’t. They don’t have the Romney’s, Little Ben Sasse’s, and Cheney’s of the world. Unfortunately, we do. Sometimes there are consequences to being ineffective and weak. The voters understand!

Re: China Joe's wife/Fauci at Children's National Hospital.
QUOTE.
"The First Lady, who wax wearing a white face mask with a flower on it, walked around the room and spoke to adolescents who were about to receive their vaccines.
“Ready to get yours? I’ve already gotten mine,” the First Lady said, noting that the vaccine shot goes by very fast.
She asked one of the participants, a girl whose name tag appeared to read Skylah, if she took the day off from school to do this and the girl replied that she hadn’t. The First Lady also referenced her own work as a teacher.
After the girl received her shot, the First Lady shook her hands and clapped.
The First Lady then met another person staffing the vaccine clinic before talking to another girl who was there to receive a vaccine. She told her to have a “great summer.”
Then the First Lady and Dr. Fauci spoke to reporters briefly.
One reporter asked the First Lady what she said on the phone with supporters after Vice President Harris attacked President Biden at a primary debate before he won the primary.
“That was two years ago we’ve moved on from that,” Jill Biden said. “We are here to do vaccinations.”
“Who doesn’t love dr. Fauci,” she said. Fauci then said it was a pleasure and honor to be at the hospital and called it a “phenomenal institution.”
Fauci was asked about whose fault he thought it was that people are misinterpreting the mask guidance as he said in a recent interview.
Fauci said it was no one fault.
“Unfortunately some people interpreted that as everyone can get rid of their mask, which is not the case.”
“We’re clarifying that now and I think we’re getting on the right track.”
In response to a question about when she would feel safe to go out to a restaurant, the First Lady said she would feel safe enough to go out to a restaurant but said President Biden is very busy."
