I read the posts of so many of you who are disheartened by AT&T not getting from Apple the stock it needs to fulfill our orders. We should get accustomed to the idea that the United States is not Apple's most important market --that we must stand in line and wait our turn in the global marketplace. Do you remember Tim Cook's recent statement about Apple's commitment to privacy? He explained that Apple made it technically unfeasible to respond to government warrants for the extraction of user data from iPhones and other iOS devices. Several U.S. government officials, including the Attorney General, protested. A few days later the news media reported that the Apple obtained the regulatory license that was necessary for the iPhone 6 to be sold in China. According to news reports, the approval hinged on the Chinese government being assured that Apple would not have backdoor access to user data. One can only surmise that Tim Cook's statement was made with the Chinese government in mind.
