Moving on ... "If Apple had to deprecate one of the two languages today, which would they deprecate?" Why is that even a question? I don't understand the motivation here.

- simonh 10y agoWell exactly. Apple is opening a lot of stores in China with employees all speaking Chinese. Were all told 'China is the future'.

Er, who cares?
