> their own devices

Sure! Apple can do whatever they want with their devices. But when they sell them to people, it’s no longer theirs.

People are (IMHO rightfully) not happy with a general computing device not being open.

Societies are pushing back against this practice through legal means, which is good!

The best part is if people want to stay inside whatever ecosystem, they can! It can be opt-in to enable developer mode to do what you can already do on any desktop PC.

If you want to lock down gran and gramps iphone (or PC for that matter), you can! Make an admin account and have them use an account with less privileges.

We can have the best of all worlds. An integrated ecosystem. Security. User computing rights.

The best thing you can do is vote with your wallet, and buy a phone that is more open.
