They know the jobs aren't coming here. We know it. So why do they try and distract us with this fluffy propaganda? Apple thinks we're all stupid. As long as their share price keeps climbing they'll keep doing shit like this, and PROVE that

It's not about blame, it's about being honest about why you're doing something. Apple is not being honest, they never have. Secrecy and spin rule the world at Apple. I don't care if you hire child robots to work in your factories, just don'
