You hate EU decisions because they cracked down on clown monopoly?


How is the iPhone a monopoly? You don’t want an iPhone you don’t buy an iPhone, there’s literally thousands of alternatives…


When it occupies half the market and life is increasingly dependent on your phone it’s no longer “don’t like - don’t buy”. How about “don’t like the changes - stop using Apple”? Huh? What’s stopping you from finding another Apple if there are thousands of alternatives?


There are no closed-ecosystem alternatives!! However there are thousands of alternatives to Apple. It is don’t like don’t buy, as literally NO ONE NOR ANY SITUATION FORCES YOU TO BUY AN iPhone. You need a PHONE, not an iPhone.

Also in what world does Apple have half the market?


> There are no closed-ecosystem alternatives!!

Any Android phone is closed-ecosystem if you don’t enable sideloading.

> However there are thousands of alternatives to Apple.

Nice! So you have plenty of choice if you don’t like where it goes with Apple.

> It is don’t like don’t buy, as literally NO ONE NOR ANY SITUATION FORCES YOU TO BUY AN iPhone. You need a PHONE, not an iPhone.

That’s correct, so there’s no issue with someone enforcing Apple to make changes, because you can always switch to something else?

> Also in what world does Apple have half the market?

In a world called US, Canada and good chunk of Europe.

My point exactly. I don’t want side loading to be possible. Now I do not have that option anymore.


Then you need to cure your OCD and don’t ruin experience for normal people.


yeah. resorting to insults is the sign you should have stayed silent.
