As a thought experiment: What would the repercussions be if Apple did pull iPhone sales out of the UK?

I'd guess that there would be huge complaints from the populace. I'd guess that Android providers would swoop in.

However, given Google's support of Apple's position here, would they too try to influence the hardware providers to pull out too (not bloody likely, I'd hazard.)?

Given that this election cycle seems to be leaning toward a 'burn the place down' mentality, I wonder if now is not the perfect time to be drawing lines in the sand…
