Apple won't let Facebook tell users about 30-percent Apple tax on events:
Facebook announced a new feature for paid online events earlier this month. It allows small businesses to host virtual cooking classes, workout sessions, happy hours, and other events and charge people to participate.
In its announcement, Facebook said it was not taking a cut of customers' payments. That means that on Android, "small businesses will keep 100% of the revenue they generate," Facebook says. But the story was different on iOS thanks to Apple's 30-percent cut of in-app purchases.
[...] the social media giant wanted to alert users to the 30-percent charge.
[...] But Facebook says Apple forced the company to delete the notice, dubbing it a violation of the App Store's policy against showing "irrelevant" information to users.
Apple's rules state that an app developer shouldn't "include irrelevant information, including but not limited to information about Apple or the development process."

People who buy Apple products are definitely not poor.

They aren't the really poor, but they're likely to be the poor. Too poor to invest in a house rather than renting, even though over the long term it would save money. Too poor for many other things that would cost more initially, but save money over the long term.
Consider Sam Vimes thoughts on boots. (paraphrased)"A rich man buys a pair of expensive boots, and they last for decades, needing to be resoled once in awhile. A poor man buys a cheap pair of boots that wear out after a year and need to be replaced, and his feet are wet whenever it rains the entire time."

Poor has multiple meanings.
Poor Trump, if he only had brains, or compassion.
Poor Apple users who have more dollars than sense.
As for the subject, doesn't the word "fang" have only one "A"?
