That’s fair. Apple bickers in the EU and U.S. It doesn’t in China. I have a clear preference for one set of political systems.

- square_usual 5mo agoThey aren't releasing it in China either.
- t-sauer 5mo agoAnd they are framing the completely different in that case.
- seanmcdirmid 5mo agoYet. But they are probably working with Chinese partners (including the government) on releasing something (maybe with Alibaba models instead of Google models, on a Chinese-local cloud rather than google cloud).
- robocat 5mo agoA quick check showed it is estimated that Apple gets about 18% of it's profits from China but only maybe 7% from EU countries (ignore Apple's definition of Europe!). Maybe China is easier to work with - perhaps their rules are made clearer?
- seanmcdirmid 5mo agoChina has 1.4 billion people and they are rapidly increasing their wealth. The only surprising factor is that Chinese cell phone producers haven't eaten up apple's marketshare yet.
