What Bloomberg is reporting about Apple is inaccurate

What Businessweek got wrong about Apple by Apple (Apple Newsroom)

On this we can be very clear: Apple has never found malicious chips, “hardware manipulations” or vulnerabilities purposely planted in any server. Apple never had any contact with the FBI or any other agency about such an incident. We are not aware of any investigation by the FBI, nor are our contacts in law enforcement.

I don't think Apple needed to release a statement but I think Apple's message about the Bloomberg article is a clear, "They're wrong!".
