I really hope so. I would love to see that showdown. Hopefully, "can't buy an iPhone in the UK and everyone knows why" makes the Snooper's Charter a radioactive mess that legislators fall all over themselves to repeal.
I don't see how closing Apple UK would mean "can't buy an iPhone in the UK". Importing is a thing.
In which case, Apple still wins by not having to put in a backdoor.
Exactly, imagine the legislatures facing their irate teen daughters for bricking Apple devices.
