Those aren't even fake. They don't list apple as the brand. They don't use the apple logo. The only "fake" thing is using "for airpods" in the product title.

The reverse is true. Shanghai to Chicago is cheaper than Chicago to Dallas. Trump said he was going to get rid of the subsidies but he never did.

Redirecting to a page full of ads is different from having a horrible javascript bloated page that takes 20 seconds to load on mobile.

The director of the NSA lied while under oath to congress, and nothing happened. As far as I'm concerned, what 3 letter agencies say publically is irrelevant.
