The accusations against Apple come amid ongoing violence and conflict in the DRC’s mineral-rich Great Lakes region, with accusations against Rwanda of supporting rebel groups to control the region’s resources.

I suggested this in another thread on this subject- There are plenty of reasons to criticize Apple specifically already, but I would be very surprised if any of the companies that make hardware, be it Apple, Google or Motorola, that isn’t using those conflict minerals. I just doubt that anything Apple manufactures is so unique that it requires them and Google doesn’t.
Again, there are plenty of other reasons to criticize Apple already, so “they all do it in this case” doesn’t make much of a difference in the big picture when it comes to them.
