    we can be sure a megacorp like apple is pulling every lever at their disposal

    Sure. But as far as I can tell the only lever at their disposal is to drag their feet and try to delay compliance as long as possible.

    It’s an effective strategy, but it’s stupid. They’re making a lot of people angry and that is never a good long term strategy.
