    I read the first little bit, just to make sure my suspicions were correct. But you're right I didn't bother with the rest.
    Like I said right at the start, you're just trying to troll and argue against things I never even mentioned. Bringing in totally irrelevant things and purposefully misunderstanding what I said even when I used baby words for you.

    Ain't no one got time for that.

    I showed you three clear examples of Apple not paying tax. I explained how if they did pay that tax, the place they paid it to could have bought particle colliders.
    Your willful ignorance was too strong for my clear facts to break.

    I even showed you three other places you can go to, to get the argument you seem so desperate to have.

    So you've proven yourself willfully ignorant, with a very strong bubble.

    Are you at least a semi-intelligent person, living in a bubble of willful ignorance? Or did you just not have the understanding to comprehend what I wrote?
    Purposefully implying I said Apple paid no taxes at all, just so you could argue, I would tend to think the former.
    Lets see how well your bubble stands up to some information you don't wish to learn. POP

    Apple Operations International (AOI) is the company's primary offshore holding company.
    Apple owns 100% of AOI either directly or through controlled foreign corporations.
    AOI's income made up 30% of Apple's total world profits from 2009- 2011.
    Shockingly, AOI doesn't pay taxes. Anywhere. The holding company had a net income of $30 billion from 2009 to 2012, but has not declared tax residency in any jurisdiction.

    Apple has held billions of dollars in profits in Irish subsidiaries to pay little or no taxes to any government. The main subsidiary, a holding company that includes Apple's retail stores throughout Europe, has not paid any corporate income tax in the last five years.
    Apple had a tax holiday for the first 10 years in Ireland. They paid no taxes to the Irish government.

    Let me say it again for you. Just in case you really did have trouble understanding what I had written.

    If Apple had paid their taxes. Whatever lucky country they chose to pay could build a matching set of these things.

    If Apple had chosen a country to pay taxes in, which they didn't. That lucky country would have lots of money. Money the country could use to build particle colliders. (simplified version for simple people to understand)

    Now, should anyone even bother reading your second paragraph? Clearly not, as you're still just trolling. If you want to discuss it, Here is one prepared earlier or here or here , knock yourself out.
    One wonders how you managed to miss them, well... not really...

    Yes, and keeping the battery in the phone and the phone inside a case will allow it to heat up much more, and catch on fire more easily.
    People aren't going to put their battery under their pillows to charge, or similar stupid places that they do with phones.

    Anyway, it's either a big fire and everything is destroyed like you said. No difference.
    Or a small fire where not everything is destroyed, and your data and phone is safe. Removable battery is clearly better in this case.
    You can continue to nitpick the details if you like, but better is still better.
