Calls for boycott of Apple over San Bernardino iPhone encryption refusal

At a campaign rally in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, Trump called for a boycott of Apple products until the company agreed to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters for the FBI. He declared, "Boycott Apple until such time as they give that security number." The demand illustrated his willingness to use his political platform to attack private companies and disregard privacy/security debates in favor of authoritarian demands for compliance.
