Tucker Carlson slammed Apple on his 11-29-22 nightly broadcast for restricting the use of the Airdrop feature on its iPhone — in China only.

Esa frase es una cruda verdad de la Revolución americana y, sin embargo, la mayoría de la gente no sabe decir quién la dijo ni dónde. No es que no mereciera algo mejor.
