Consumers bought the phone which can be be considered a general computing device.. so we should be free to run whatever software we want on it. That's the real argument.
- fooey 6y agoThis situation is a very large part of the reason I would never buy an iPhone. The walled garden isn't a surprise, it's a feature.
- Keyframe 6y agoI agree with that, but it’s then also a broader question that covers all computing devices. Should I be able to run free whatever software I want in my car, in any of its systems? How about medical devices or any of the gaming consoles? It’ll probably end up being an argument on what a general computing device is.
- chillacy 6y agoI mean... yes? I think we should have the right to modify / tinker with things we buy, with the understanding that doing so voids any warranties or manufacturer liability.
- m-p-3 6y agoI wish I could say yes to all of those, as long as the risks of unintended behavior and damage are clearly explained.
