It is against Apple policies to tell the truth.. How is this not market manipulation? They are purposefully misleading the market on a grand scale.

The whole "you are free not to buy from someone else " doesn't work if you are being lied to. I believe that my rights as a consumer are being violated by this practice.

It is manipulation - Facebook were not allowed to disclose transparently the 30% Apple tax.

There's now enough antitrust cases against Apple that I'm hopeful they're going to lose in a few serious jurisdictions and be forced to change their ways.

The risk of this is already in their SEC filings, so they know it might happen. Funny they disclose the whole truth when it's legally required, but don't let others tell the truth when it's inconvenient.
