The stakes are too high for Apple to spin the iPhone exploits

Today, Apple responded to Google's discovery of a major iPhone security flaw with a bristling statement that accused its rival of creating "false impressions." But Apple did very little to clear up those false impressions, and seems to have created some of its own, as we'll see by taking a close read. A good point-by-point breakdown of just how awful Apple's statement really was. Everything about the statement exudes that Apple cares more about the perception of the iPhone's security among customers than for the lives of the Uighurs in China, who are being systematically eradicated from the country in a state-organised technocratic genocide of which these iPhone hacks were a part. On top of that, Apple is attacking Google, while making no mention of the actual perpetrator of this attack - the Chinese government. Apple is so dependent on China that it can't condemn anything this totalitarian regime does, including hacking its own primary product as part of a genocide. Only a company as so far up its own ass as Apple could write a statement like this.
