Haha yeah too right. UK government isn't authoritarian enough for apple to listen to

it has more to do with where their factories are located. Hard to negotiate with the people who control the very land and people you utilize to build your hardware

Not saying that justifies it, just think we should be accurate with our outrage

I think it's more that they know they don't have any negotiating power in China. China doesn't care if they have iMessage, but the UK and the british people do.
