> Believing that publicly traded companies would not lie is rather naive.

You know that shareholders can sue the company if they lie publicly? That is the reason why they usually keep silent or use weasel words.



As mentioned, how are you going to prove who's lying?

Why would anyone sue Apple over this? If anything a lie would help the company as acknowledging a hack would hit the share price.

Nothing will happen, no-one is going to prove or disprove anything, and this will quietly be forgotten.


> As mentioned, how are you going to prove who's lying?

As I mentioned, the proof lies with the accuser. See

"Presenting such a case without hard, verifiable evidence is ludicrous and only works because many people are susceptible for a bad company/bad government conspiracy narrative."

If you think this is a he said/she said case, then you are deep into conspiracy territory.


That's not a reply...
