Actually, protesting against their own (French) government would also be the wrong entity. The right entity is the US government, because almost all of the profit on iPhones sold in France is created in the US. For the same reason that Foxconn makes only $8 profit on each iPhone [1], the sales operations of Apple in France would generate very low profit per phone if it was an independent company. This is because almost all the value-added activity (eg. hardware design, writing software, designing ads, designing Apple stores, WWDC) is done in California, not France.
