Anybody actually buying some corporate PR? People call bullshit from other corporations from light years but when it comes to Apple folks here act like half of forum works for them...

Just look at their actions, ignore words from marketing teams (ie everything that goes officially outside to us). FU to freedom, openness, and laser focus on what generates revenues, we know whats better for you and your rightfully bought devices. If you disagree you will lose warranty, we kick you out of our platforms or worse, much worse.

Self-repairs and everything proprietary were pain point for all Apple devices for decade and a half. All efforts in privacy I saw were carefully crafted PR with some tiny logical loophole that for sure won't be misused by some 3-letter agencies, we pinky promise wink wink.

Really, why the surprise?
