I was hoping that it was a golden statue of Donald Trump, that would have been much cooler and much more appropriate for kissing the feet of the King.

WTF Apple
Apple isn't known for doing particularly good things, but this is just egregiously bad.
FabianIf I just saw this headline without a source I would 100% have thought it was satire. How do we live in a world where this is real
There needs to be a new super libre license that excludes use by specific companies.
ZachariahWhen Apple asks if they can use it, tell them it’s nacho libre.
greenfireIt would be funny if it's not gold at all
FirstCircleDon'tcha know, if you buy Apple products and support Apple with your money, that means that you "Think Different". Yeah, you're brilliant, a creator, you don't run with the crowd, and you're a traitor.
I've never understood the Apple Cult, and I understand it even less as its members choose to look the other way when the company does this kind of thing.

If you buy Apple products for some reason I can't fathom, remember this: some of your money will have paid for a golden statue for Donald Trump.
I wouldn't feel good holding that iPhone in my hand knowing that...
Could you direct us to some ethically sourced smartphones?
Think this might be what you're looking for

Oh, wow thank you this looks rad actually. Notable for US users: it appears to only work with T-mobile
Fairphone
Fairphone is most well known ethical manufacturer, then there's also Shiftphone.
Only work on T-Mobile and they aren't an ethical company.

And pretty much everything else you buy benefits slave labor in china or elsewhere. You literally can’t escape it. Apple is not the sole problem here.
There's no sole company to blame for global issues, but you can sure as hell stop consuming products from companies who so openly and shamelessly bend the knee to the fascist Trump.
That's a constant across all of digital technology. So the only way to avoid it is to not use the technology.
But if you do, buying Apple means you are supporting the base level slave labour in China + support for Trump + a locked in ecosystem + a cycle of planned obsolescence. There are other products you can buy that subtract from this equation and may add in some benefits.
We have such limited agency, and nothing will change instantly, so we have to make the best choices we can to push people to do better.
Still better than dealing with Androids UX.
They are so similar now.
Similar, and that's the problem. Google half assed copied Apples swipes, but had to maintain the same functionality as the 3 buttons so it's jank as hell. Every time they copy Apple they do it in a worse way, instead of trying to do their own (good) thing.
I've never been more glad to have never given Apple a penny.
A seditious pedophile gets a trophy while the rest of us can’t afford housing.
Cook is Trump's token gay friend.
what a cuck
everyone should call Tim Cook a real Ernst Röhm. hopefully ends with a similar fate.
What a nice gesture of Tim Apple for his friend who couldn't even remember his name right.
Really stretching the definition of statue with that.

This was a thank you for not being federally charged while they were fucking their customers phone batteries up from afar, so they could sell more phones. Fuck apple!
On a non related note does anyone know if anyone manufactures trump shaped anal dildos?
Probably, but they're likely to be unironic pro-trump.
I did the search. Etsy has a selection.
We can all hear the dik sucking from apples offices
Assuming that gold bar that's used as the base is actually 24k gold and it isn't just gold plated, how much would it be worth?
If it's 1lb of solid gold, then about $28,200
