Apple Took Out a CES Ad To Troll Its Competitors Over Privacy (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader shared a report: Historically, Apple hasn't had an official presence at CES. It's not surprising given the company's success at hosting and hyping its own product launch events -- long before the iPod and iPhone brought Apple to the top of the technology mountain, Steve Jobs keynotes were can't miss events. The company is also very deliberate about its marketing campaigns; when I see Apple billboard ads, they focus on new product close-ups with minimal messaging. This is why the giant ad banner I saw when I arrived in Las Vegas yesterday for CES 2019 caught my eye. Positioned not far from the convention center where CES takes place, the sign is a cheeky riff on the old "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" slogan -- and with just a few words, it casts an Apple-shaped shadow over the convention.

I have exactly what I want... Moto G4 Play.

Removable battery? Check!
Ability to install custom bootloaders for cloudfree storage? Check!
Removable SD card? Check!
Price point ($100) low enough to make losing/breaking it not a big deal? Check!

Tim Cook can go fellate someone.

That's the slogan used, for those who don't want to have to actually click on the story and supply advertising revenue to a clickbait site.

It's almost like the apple-exclusive fappening never happened... You never really understand the term "Reality Distortion" until you see Apple's marketing literature (which sooner or later get regurgitated by iPhone users).
