A part of me feels the next Apple ad is going to be “Your phone is your castle”. I do like their pro privacy stance against the big dogs. I just really hope the phone was more akin to the bicycle of the mind that Steve Jobs promised us.

- Valkhyr 6y ago> I do like their pro privacy stance against the big dogs I do like their pro-privacy stance as well, but I take issue with that sentence in that it makes it sound like Apple is not a "big dog" and taking a stance for you, the little guy. Yes, their policies with regards to your data are easier to stomach than, say, Google's, but they are not on your side against the world, they are on their own side, and have plenty of questionable policies and decisions to show for that. Foremost of all being that they refuse you the ability to install a different OS on the hardware you own, or even install any application you would like on it. This is not merely an abstract philosophical matter either (though I'd argue it would matter even then): in China, you used to be able to install VPN apps to evade state surveillance, until China made Apple boot them from the App Store. I cannot see any argument that makes this into a win for customers.
