People are becoming more aware that they don’t want a corporation in control over this essential near ubiquitous technology.
I see no good reason to follow a “it’s a corporation they can do whatever they want” mindset
Are other competitors banned where you live?
The guiding principle should continue to be that manufacturers and retailers don't get to control the second hand market or dictate what users do with the things they purchase. Digital controls used to thwart the owner's freedom should be outlawed.
Absolute, unmitigated bullshit. You are not forced to buy an iPhone by anyone, ever.
> “it’s a corporation they can do whatever they want”
Then perhaps you should make the absolutely tiny mental leap to "And I don't have to buy if it doesn't work the way I want it to."
Apple has 32% market share - pretending you don't have any other choice is utterly fallacious nonsense.
