I think Apple owes us an answer about the phone call.

I think Apple owes us an answer about the phone call and I wrote to Apple to say so.

Because if it did happen, we should know. And if it didn't happen, we should know.

I'd say that whether the claim came from Vice President Harris or former President Trump,

if you haven't heard what I'm talking about,

one of the US presidential candidates as Apple CEO Tim Cook called them

complaining about fines levied against Apple by the European Union.

I'll read you the quote and you can probably guess who made the claim.

Reuters quotes the presidential candidate saying on a podcast,

two hours ago, three hours ago, he, meaning Cook,

he called me, he said the European Union has just fined us $15 billion.

Then on top of that they got fined by the European Union another 2 billion.

Tim, I got to get elected first, the candidate quoted themselves as saying, but I'm not going to let them take advantage of our companies.

That won't be happening.

Apple did not respond to a request seeking confirmation of the authenticity of the phone call,

according to Reuters, and I think Apple owes us an answer about the phone call.

I wouldn't hold my breath, but I got a show to do. This is Mac OSKIN.
