I think that technology is in Cisco routers, and I know from following this Apple Endeavor servers are rife with the technology

This is huge

Then you would also know that
a) such a chip cannot be placed on any Apple board and,
b) that Apple has investigated and denied the entirety of the Rat (Bloomberg) claim,
——1) you are entirely mistaken and have fallen for a disinformation campaign which benefits options and short sellers.

Actually you know no such thing. The articles that come from one single source, Bloomberg, stated that Apple FOUND the malicious chips and cancelled their order for 30,000 servers. If that were the case, then Apple would not have been effected.

However, the entire series of facts as laid out by Bloomberg is BOGUS, coming from anonymous sources with no proffer of evidence to back it up except FAKED photographs of chips that are NOT what they claim them to be, but rather other types of electronic parts well recognized by experts in the field. In fact some of the people they quote have come out to say they have been quoted by Bloomberg's reporters OUT OF CONTEXT and with important parts of what they said omitted, such as "This makes no sense." and "There are much easier ways to do this."

Both Amazon and Apple have OFFICIALLY denied they ever found any such thing as Bloomberg claims they found and the history of the two companies' involvement with Supermicro also proves that Bloomberg's claims are complete lies as well. In fact, while Apple did sever its relationship with Supermicro, it did so in the summer of 2016, ONE YEAR after the time that Bloomberg claimed they found bogus chips on the Server motherboards in summer of 2015. Amazon, went ahead and BOUGHT the company that was using Supermicro to make their servers, and it CONTINUED to use Supermicro to make the servers for Amazon. . . for both Amazon Web Serverices and Amazon Prime Video serverces. . . AFTER the 2015 claimed date when Amazon engineers were supposed to have found bogus IC chips on the servers they WERE going to buy from the company and per Bloomberg cancelled the contract. No, Amazon BOUGHT the company three months later, hook line, and Supermicro contract. That is NOT the act of a due diligent company who found major security flaw. For Apple's part, Apple bought almost 7,000 Supermicro servers until Supermicro could not meet the demand due to supplying Amazon's needs because of their expansion. Apple went elsewhere and severed their relationship due to lack of Supermicro's inability to supply the numbers Apple needed for their streaming video service, not because of security concerns. Nothing in this history of the three companies matches Bloomberg's Tall Tale at all.
