itshyolee Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Social media doesn't translate into real life, and I wish people would understand that. I'm sure thousands and thousands of people have already preordered the new model. 1 1

SoldierofLove Posted September 10 Posted September 10 15 minutes ago, lovecatt said: what the hell is congo Let's find out together. Congo 's government is questioning Apple about the tech company's knowledge of "blood minerals" from a conflict zone in the African country that could be smuggled into its supply chains and is demanding answers within three weeks. "The iPhones, Mac computers and accessories that Apple sells to its customers around the world rely on supply chains that are too opaque, and that are tainted by the blood of the Congolese people," the lawyers said. Apple, which has a market value of around $2.6 trillion, has denied using minerals from mines and regions where human rights violations take place, saying it conducts business ethically and "responsibly" sources minerals in Congo and neighboring countries. https://apnews.com/article/apple-iphones-congo-blood-minerals-b1f20aa7bd3a3f4f8cf7fcde19c6f053 Interesting.

Illuminati Posted September 10 Posted September 10 I can kinda see that pink one flying off the shelves already, don't think they've ever had a more girly pop iphone
Princess Aurora Posted September 10 Posted September 10 You know Twitter/X is dead when 100,000 likes is considered 'viral'
KFC Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Notwithstanding the human rights violations in Congo, people really don't need to buy a $1000 phone every year I blame Apple specifically for normalising overconsumption 2

abelfenty Posted September 10 Posted September 10 She's literally holding an iPhone in her pinned tweet 6
Sabrina Carpenter Posted September 10 Posted September 10 goodluck with that i'm never switching to Android 1
MistressKay Posted September 10 Posted September 10 And I'm sure they all liked the tweets from an iPhone. Performative. i feel for the people of Congo as well as other issues but the older I get the more I realize nothing really changes. Congo even if saved ,there will then be another country disenfranchised later for the next cause. Never ending cycle.
Space Cowboy Posted September 10 Posted September 10 8 minutes ago, Sabrina Carpenter said: goodluck with that i'm never switching to Android Apple keeps releasing the same phone every year with barely any new innovation and their brainwashed sheep-like fans eat it up every time. I've been using iphone for +10 years, but if they don't shake things up, I'm going to switch to the google pixel next time, which seems way superior than any iphone in the market tbh 1
CBC Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Let's hope she gets those signal virtue likes. I'm sure her clothes are also made locally and ethically, certainly she's vegan too right? I'm sure she also knows her chocolate and coffee come from... These people's personalities revolves around picking up a charity case and then pretending to care and do something about it but ultimately they don't have the will to actually do some change and influence others to do the same, because that is hard work 2

This is news to me. Honestly though, most large companies of any sector always have some cheap questionable sourcing for their products. The government's in these places will lap up the money and ignore the issues though, so maybe people should start off by blaming them. Most of Africa is corrupt as well and has been for a long time (look at the damn slave trade), so that tweet is just a bit basic twitter user seeking some self-gratification whilst riling people up over nothing.
WildAmerican Posted September 10 Posted September 10 this faux social media activism, i would love to ask her to explain the situation to me in detail and watch her freeze up 1
MattieB Posted September 10 Posted September 10 You think these privileged white people and POC from 1st world countries give a **** about anyone but themselves? Even the "ones that do" are all performative from Palestine to Congo to Senegal. They're very self-serving Heck, look at ATRL, these very comments
MattieB Posted September 10 Posted September 10 The funny thing is your countries have that status because of stolen resources from the very countries you're disparaging

This is news to me. That was April mama, did they meet the 3 week deadline? the last paragraph you quoted says Apple denied it. Case closed?
