As a thought experiment: What would the repercussions be if Apple <i>did</i> pull iPhone sales out of the UK?<p>I&#x27;d guess that there would be huge complaints from the populace. I&#x27;d guess that Android providers would swoop in.<p>However, given Google&#x27;s support of Apple&#x27;s position here, would they too try to influence the hardware providers to pull out too (not bloody likely, I&#x27;d hazard.)?<p>Given that this election cycle seems to be leaning toward a &#x27;burn the place down&#x27; mentality, I wonder if now is not the perfect time to be drawing lines in the sand…
