Apple products belong in, oddly enough, I, Robot. A clean future where everything is sanitized, not something gritty and real like Blade Runner. Rewriting the vibe of their predecessors without acknowledging what made them popular is the reason why so many reboots have failed recently. (Do you get that Paul Feig?)
Thankfully, Blade Runner 2049 doesn't lay on its political lecturing heavy enough to tank an otherwise successful sequel.
A lesson to reflect upon--monetizing is ok when it doesn't kill your userbase. My ID is under 5000 (cue the older ID replies) and I refuse to give them pageviews now.

“We have never heard of PRISM. We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer data must get a court order,” stated Apple spokesperson Steve Dowling.

Every story about Apple and privacy chooses to omit thus huge piece of info.
Why should anybody trust them now? What has changed to make anybody believe they aren't still lying about privacy?
