Apple Responds to US Antitrust Lawsuit
Political Stunt
During the dispute between Apple and the FBI over the locked iPhone of a San Bernardino terrorist shooter, Donald Trump publicly sided with the government. At the time, he was a presidential candidate.
Trump called for a boycott of Apple until the company complied with the court order to help the FBI access the phone's data. He argued that Apple should cooperate for national security, and he criticized Apple CEO Tim Cook, suggesting he was trying to "show how liberal he is."
The dispute was eventually resolved when the FBI, with the help of an outside party, was able to access the phone without Apple's assistance.
