I'm not denigrating any country - I'm just the messenger shining the spotlight on how every profit seeking large business operates. So I'm glad your mind was blown - this was educational! Secondly, your outrage is meaningless and you are an elite - very few people in the world have the privilege to travel with a working mobile phone across continents burning huge amounts of fossil fuels and you are one of them. Lastly it hypocritical for non-elites to complain about a not released elite phone they don't intend to buy, especially when there is the option to buy another phone or an older cheaper iPhone with a sim slot. All this said, I do find Apple's stance on removing every last vestige of a physical connector inconvenient (headphone jack being one). Sadly, I just accept these inconveniences and move on with the rest of my life.
