China takes another swipe at Apple...

China has used state media to launch a stinging attack on Apple, in a further sign that Beijing is unhappy with the iPhone maker’s influence in the country’s smartphone market.

The China People’s Daily, controlled by the Communist Party, used a front-page article to criticise Apple’s customer-services.

The article went on to accuse Apple of an “empty and self-praising” response to an earlier critical report on the company by China’s state broadcaster.

The People’s Daily article was accompanied by a cartoon that showed a figure supposed to represent the US company saying: “Apple statement: empty.”

Earlier this month CCTV, Beijing’s state broadcaster, screened a consumer rights programme which accused Apple of not replacing broken iPhones, but instead only fixing specific parts, to avoid giving customers a new warranty period.

 In other parts of the world, the programme claimed, Apple would give customers a new phone. Full story...
