Still, they are spending Billions of dollars to cover up mesh they created all over the world. You think, rest of world is spreading fake news.

    It was not that Apple could not. They refused to and that is what matters.

Buying off judges, high profile lawyers do a good job, PR and media companies do the rest of shutting down any negative information that might affect the company's image.

But several phd students from a specific country attending US universities got caught while stealing and passing data.

          In the end, trust/security is a feeling.

            IMO, privacy is not just important, its very important. The earlier people understand, the better for everyone. And I don't think American companies are saints too.

                Samsung ships with more blpsywsre and hidden spying than any other Chinese company. On par with Vivo. Here take a look:

                Don't even get me started on the overpriced iPhone which only gives an illusion of privacy. If you are connecting to the Internet, you are giving away your data irrespective of the phone manufacturer.

I said India because I think, people here don't take these privacy issues seriously. I understand those people who don't have money goes with these kind of mobile. But I have seen those people also who have money to buy a decent phone around INR 50k ($650-700) and they go for PRC because of higher specs only. And reason being the same like everyone is doing it bla bla..
                  They don't have slightest idea of traps they are going in. 😒

                    Muzik, 01 Aug 2021To be very true and telling you by my experience: In India,... moreI think not just india, its true for all the third world markets. Majority of them doesn't have extra money to spend. So its completely natural, i guess.

They always had confusions around if and but.
                      For eg: He asked: Should I buy PRC phone?
                      I said you are not secure with PRC phone.
                      He said: Everyone knows everything why to blame PRC only. I am not a celebrity or politician. Let them take what they wanted.

                      I was like, come on! buy whatever you want and dont ask for me next time.
                      They have no idea about the internal security and privacy. They just want higher specs, higher specs and only higher specs at lower price. :D

                              Do you think this is a good strategy for Apple in the long run??
                              Apple just milking their brand. They put an old tech and people buy their narrative of "we'll wait until the tech mature".
                              But, slowly, Apple were loosing the enthusiast market, which is not good.
                              Because if Apple is not "in" or "cool", the brand value will be deteriorated.

                              Anyway,
                              Apple have been loosing the market.
                              From 20%, and now about 11%.
                              The only reason Apple stay is because the market is growing rapidly.
                              But if the market stagnant, Apple will lost sale.
                              That's how the market work
