Default Re: Apple addressing security concerns.
Actually, it depends upon if Ford builds a hidden compartment in their Escorts that is designed to secret cargo from detection. Ford might insist it was intended to allow the driver to smuggle a six-pack into the Super Bowl, but does that mean they are not responsible if it is used instead to hide a few bricks of C4? That is a question for a legal expert, not for a poet.

Yes, this statement is ridiculous. So is Apple's position. And FYI, Apple will admit the Chinese market is their most vital one now, not the US one. Plus, Apple has its headquarters in the US, but most of its manufacturing is done in China, and most of its money it stuck away in foreign banks to avoid their corporate tax responsibilities. Finally, the Apple core labor under the fantasy that Apple dominates the smartphone market. In fact, they only have about 18% of the market. Samsung alone has a 27% share, while the others in the market own the rest. This has nothing to do with the security issue here, yet is germane for those who feel what Apple says should be gospel.
