So because Apple has to implement it in order to sell to Verizon, it’s their fault? That’s basically victim blaming. Yes, Apple could not sell phones locked to Verizon, but then they wouldn’t be able to sell phones to Verizon.
- amluto 7y agoDo you actually believe that Verizon would stop carrying iPhones if they couldn’t lock them? I don’t believe this for a second. It’s kind of like arguing that that Verizon would only sell phones preloaded with Verizon crapware. This was partially true, but Apple stood up to them and everyone else quite successfully.
- colejohnson66 7y agoYou’re also ignoring that the FCC requires Verizon phones to come locked for 60 days. Ostensibly to cut down on theft
- amluto 7y agoCitation needed. I can find plenty of evidence that the FCC permits a 60 day lock. I see no evidence whatsoever that the FCC requires it.
