I understand the philosophy of "I bought it, I own, I should be able to do what I want with what I own". However, you're fighting against a big, fat corporation for a situation you pur yourself into. Why not buy an alternative that actually does what you want? Sure, e-waste is bad, but that's the only strong argument here IMO. Apple should be severely punished for helping create pollution. The rest is up to interpretation.
