iPhone 16 Launch Marred by Protests at Apple Stores in Multiple Cities
Protesters in multiple cities demonstrated at Apple Stores during the iPhone 16 launch, calling for a boycott of Apple products over accusations of complicity in humanitarian crises in Congo and Gaza. The protesters claim that Apple gets gold and minerals from conflict zones in the Democratic Republic of Congo and owns a large research center in Israel. They are urging consumers to stop buying Apple products and unsubscribe from their services.
