Apple has been celebrating Pride throughout the month of June, introducing a new Pride-themed Apple Watch band and watch face at WWDC. The company routinely supports laws that protect LGBTQ rights, and opposes laws that discriminate.

(View all)Seems like a liberal’s dream. Little work, lots of pride, and a bunch of pissed off customers in its wake.
Is any of this stuff even having an effect on our society?
LGBT rights around the world in the last 10 years....big difference.I keep wondering what Apple is actually doing these days.
- Designing mobile chips that is arguable the most efficient one to date.Seems like a liberal’s dream. Little work, lots of pride, and a bunch of pissed off customers in its wake.
- Designing a family of mobile chips to complement the bet in mobile (Sx, Wx, etc).
- Designing biometric security rivaling Hollywood motion capture in a size of your pocket (FaceID)
- Designing AR ecosystem, complete with mobile APIs and software+hardware integration
Just to name a few.
Steve Jobs removed "computer" from the company's name long time ago. Apple is a technology company, not a PC company.

Cook would be a better activist than CEO of a multi billion dollar company. Try making a good computer Tim, you guys have made total garbage for the last 5 years. How's that Mac Pro coming along?
Apple is a publicly traded company. If Tim Cook wasn't a good CEO, the board of directors would've voted him out. No secrets here, it's the same as any publicly traded companies.
