tyler@programming.dev 5 days agoplease do explain how Apple is doing anything here. If Israel wants to provide their military with iPhones they’re going to no matter what Apple does.

They don’t have to do business with/in Israel.

This is an American company. They will do what their leaders from Israel want because no company seems to have the stones to tell them to pound sand.

That still will not stop a nation state (especially Israel) from getting their hands on Apple devices.

Physically obtaining the devices is insufficient; they need ongoing software updates and other network services too.
The IDF could/would absolutely not be doing this if they did not trust that Apple is a very committed partner.
You can also observe from Apple’s job listings that they are.

Go ahead and post the same link for Google job listings. I’ll wait.
Having jobs in the country has nothing to do with being a “committed partner”. You’re making up connections that are most likely not there. Same for anyone claiming the same about Google. Microsoft on the other hand is directly selling and assisting the IDF, they are a committed partner.
