These comments are what I expected from Reddit. 1 million dollars cap sucks but it’s still 1 million dollars lol. I wish it was more but it’s still nice, and not something Apple had to do. And no this isn’t “the same as me donating 2 dollars”, because 1 million dollars is gonna help out a lot more than 2 dollars will.
Quick google search showed that Apple has giving to over 39,000 charities since 2011. Never seen the draw of complaining about the good deeds of others.
it just doesn't need an individual praise post for doing so little even though it's better than doing nothing.
Why not, just smile and move on. Why would it do anything negative to you to see it?
Maybe we don't want companies burying the lede and using their charitable donations as a sales tactic? I don't believe for a second that they aren't counting on people not knowing that there's a cap and then just making bank on top of what is effectively a lie after probably just a few hours.
It's an advertising stunt, with the budget of a relatively small ad campaign given their market cap. A $1M donation is good but we don't have to just eat the scummy way they're going about pretending to obtain the money. We are allowed to expect less marketing scumminess and better humanity.
