Jobs Mob denies Android swap rumour

The Apple Press office works in the same way as the British Royal Family’s. Its official line on most things is “no comment.” But this week it took the rare position of denying a rumour.

The rumour was that Apple was being forced to see off an anti-trust action by the EU, or wanted to butter up the telcos, by offering a package to upgrade its users from i0S to Android.

The rumour was so stupid we did not bother with looking at the story. Apple would rather pull out of the European market than contaminate its iPhone with Android. Besides there would be no way to tell an iPhone from any other smartphone in the market. Apple would never butter up its telco partners as it sees them as lucky that they are allowed to sell its products for them.
