Matt Gemmell: ‘The Fallen Apple’

Apple removes apps at the request of repressive governments, busts unions, fights tooth and nail against consumer-protection laws, has to be strong-armed into allowing repairability, and so on. Just as the US flag has internationally began to take on the whiff of fascism, so too is the Apple logo now tinged with something else.

We nerds have been saying it for years, and I’m hearing that that everyday folks are starting to get the whiff, too. Apple may have missed its opportunity to “save” its brand — if it even wants to.
