I used to have an account on which I spent at least $400. After an attempt to change the email address associated to the account I got locked out. It seems the same email address was used to create a different account in the past and the move just destroyed my access and any possible recourse.
So I switched to Android and stayed on Android for the last 7 years. No more iPhones for me, just remembering how my content got stolen makes me turn away.
I used to be a big fan of iPhones when they came out, even had a first gen iPhone a couple of months after launch. But after losing access to my content it all turned into the feeling that I am being abused.
- hallway_monitor 6y agoNever had the feeling of being abused but I didn't like having to buy into their closed ecosystem so I've been an Android user and programmer ever since my iPhone 3G.

I would much rather pay for a service I can use on any platform so that I can switch out of Apple whenever I want to. Apple fanboys will grill me for this, but at least I will be saving my future self from headaches.
