Check this out. Have you heard? Apple new $1 billion investment in the Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing is as much about currying favor with regulators as directly expanding its own business, analysts said. Apple might need the help; it faces slowing iPhone sales and tougher restrictions on its services in the country. Source - user link on phys.org Um... so, yeah.

Apple makes good products but when the factories that supply their products have to put up suicide nets at their factories, something's wrong. Very wrong. |

Apple definitely has some human rights problems plaguing its image, as do a lot of technology firms that use overseas labor. |
