Yes, but Apple's actual shitty behaviour or this hypothetical shitty behaviour might stop someone putting food on the table.
If someone loses their job over this, the fact it's just Apple being arseholes won't be of much comfort to the newly unemployed (unless it's a lucrative wrongful dismissal suit I guess.)
Does anyone have any confidence in Apple doing the right thing by its employees or indeed customers?
