Again, I simple stated what the OPs argument was. If you are downvoting me because you disagree with the original post, you aren’t clear on how to use HN. As to your other questions, if I use the phone more I’m more likely to buy a new phone, buy more cloud storage, download and buy more apps, generate referral sales by other people seeing me use the product, drop the phone requiring Apple repairs, the list goes on. Apple wants to develop a deep relationship with their users, so in Nearly every case using the products more is to their benefit. The more you rely on the products the more free attention you spend in their eco-system, and the more likely you will spend money that they will get a % of. I think some others have laid out the argument for how the Apple solution is less effective than others, so I’ll let that stand and not rehash it here. Whether or not this is the actual motivation for Apple is unclear, but the incentives are clear that they’d want you to use your phone vs not using it.
