Tim Cook calls for Bloomberg to retract Chinese spy chip claims

Tim Cook has hit back at Bloomberg for a story claiming the servers of tech giants including Apple contained spy chips. Apple, Amazon and Super Micro, the Chinese motherboard manufacturer Bloomberg claimed introduced the chips, all deny claims the chips, which were'not much bigger than a grain of rice,' would have given China unprecedented backdoor access to computers and data. There is no truth in their story about Apple,' Cook told BuzzFeed News in a phone interview. 'They need to do that right thing and retract it.'
