Currently Apple is getting all the ire, we'll move on to hating another in due time, while never solving the isssue.



Apple is getting the hate right now because it cultivates a certain image. Everyone knows M$ is a douchebag monopolist corporation and it wouldn't surprise anyone if they use slave labor.

Apple pretends to be some nice wholesome company for cool hipsters who want to do good and save the world. When it turns out Apple uses terrible companies to manufacture its products it hurts Apple worse. Especially when Apple has massive profit margins anyhow so it has absolutely no NEED to cut corners to save costs.



And they're sitting on a ton of cash that should be dividends to stockholders.
