Both Amazon and Apple are denying these claims.

Possibly some inside job with purpose of crashing down that company.

This is definitely scary. It's making the buzz now.

Stocks value for the circuitboard producer for amazon lowered down right away.

News coming from big companies are going out confirming that this is a real thing.

Waiting for some tech guys to do their own digging and verifiy if the chip is present with other devices and units. As what I read, it's inserted in the phone to disguise like a signal coupler or something.

The news saying about "around 30" companies affected is a very small amount compared to the actual number impacted with those chips. Maybe those chips are even inserted to our phones now.

I don't think it is anything new. There have been rumours and speculation that this has been happening for years.

True. And did you know Cisco routers where altered by US to have backdoors? Found this when I had searching some configuration info for one of my routers.

If this is true, then it is a very sad news. Amazon and Apple are the biggest companies in the world. When people buy things from them, it shows the trust they have in them. This trust is broken when such incidents take place. The cyber security needs to be revised and improved.

I don't know..

I doubt we'll see any fewer of those "Apple logo people" taking up space inside coffee shops and folks will continue to shop on Amazon.
