Abuses in China? So what are you planning to purchase instead? Because Apple is doing better with worker rights in China than any competitor is.

But the issue wasn't about manufacturing to begin with. The trouble is that Apple have significant operations in China, which makes them subject to influence by China, while at the same time maintaining control over what their users see and what they see about their users.
A less vertically integrated company wouldn't have that problem.

As an Apple user I'd like to believe this but it would be good to get some citation on that.

So are you not going to buy any electronic items?
Now as to Apple, I don't have to buy their products and if I do I know what to expect. If it really mattered or should I say bothered me enough I certainly would buy a different product.
Right now my Apple purchases are on hold for their virtue signaling and effective turning their backs on abuses in China and Hong Kong.
