On this same note, I feel the org is also getting kickbacks from "recommending" Apple products to the congregations, and making them more of a necessity. The Apple watch seen on the wrist of a GB member in a video goes to confirm this thought.
Nope. Apple doesn't do this. They gave a handful of watches to AAA celebs and that's it. They do not do paid product placement in movies and TV shows either.
The place I work for spends over $1,000,000 a year on Apple products and we don't get shit.
