Seriously, folks, we shouldn't celebrate Apple's death grip over their platform. It's dangerous for all of us. The more of you that use it, the more it creates a sort of "anti-herd immunity" towards totalitarian control.
Apple talks "privacy", but jfc they're nothing of the sort. Apple gives zero shits about your privacy. They're staking more ground against Facebook and Google, trying to take their beachheads. You're just a pawn in the game for long term control.
Apple cares just as much for your privacy as they do your "freedom" to run your own (un-taxed) software or repair your devices (for cheaper).
And after Tim Cook is replaced with a new regime, you'll be powerless to stop the further erosion of your liberties. It'll be too late.
Stop. Using. Apple.
