Dear Mr Cook –
I am writing to you as a long time Apple consumer (Since the iPhone 3 came out) and as a concerned US Citizen.
I first got started with computers by purchasing a Timex Sinclair computer in the early 80s and taught myself the Basic Language.
Later in early 1987 I purchased an IBM XT clone computer and taught myself how to navigate DOS 3.1.
I stayed in the Microsoft camp for many years earning 3 Microsoft certifications along the way, but as time wore on, I was curious about the Apple Mac and its OS. When Apple switched to using Intel processors, I made the switch and bought an early iMac. I was hooked! To the point that I now have a late model iMac, a MacBook Pro and have continuously owned both models ever since.
When you came out with the iPhone 3, I stood in line for hours to buy one. I have owned the 4, the 4S, the 5, the 8 and have owned the iPhone X since it’s was introduced.
I also have owned several iPads and now own a two year old iPad Pro.
I tell you this to demonstrate that I am a loyal customer and I regularly evangelize Apple products on the Real Estate and Technology blog that I have written since January 2008. The address is below.
The purpose of me writing this to you is to implore you to stop manufacturing Apple products in the PRC. I am certain beyond any shred of doubt that the Chinese government maliciously developed and spread the COVID 19 virus on the world for its own economic gain.
I have decided, and am vigorously asking others, to STOP buying anything manufactured in that country.
That of course means that I’ll no longer buy Apple products.
I know that manufacturing costs will be higher to produce products elsewhere, but you would be doing a disservice to the thousands of COVID19 victims worldwide to continue to do business with the Chinese government. Make no mistake, I am not blaming the Chinese people or people of Chinese decent, just the gang of thugs who now run that country.
I am, however, resolute in my decision to not buy Chinese made goods and I implore others to do the same.
I’ll watch the news to learn of your decision. As I am sure that you won’t reply to this email.
Best Regards,
Jerry
