Protesters Take to Apple Stores Worldwide on iPhone 16 Launch Day
Calling for Apple to break its silence on the ongoing war in Gaza and to rid so-called blood minerals from its supply chain, protesters stood outside over a dozen Apple Stores around the world Friday.
Posts on social media show protesters holding banners outside Apple stores in Bristol, Reading, London, Tokyo, Brussels, Cape Town, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Montreal, and Cardiff. They say that they were fired for a “technicality” that they believe “should have been a misconduct warning.” They believe that their dismissal was likely retaliatory for challenging the company publicly on “anti-Palestinian bias and racism.” Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the protest or Ra’Ouf’s allegation. “We want [them] to assess how much money they make on launch day, and how many phones they're able to sell, and really show them visibly that there's a lot of support for these communities that they're just ignoring.”
