They cut the 30% tax down in some cases(I am still waiting for the fanboys to admit that this would never had happened if not for the large number of investigations running). Next will probably give to EU guys a convoluted way to unlock you phone but will shame you for it, probably put a watermark on a screen that you are a communist or pedo if you use the unlock device feature. Apple needs a Microsoft moment, a moment where they realize what are their strengths and focus on that and stop with the FUD and anticompetitive bullshit.

> Next will probably give to EU guys a convoluted way to unlock you phone This is the end game. Jailbreaking should be a supported feature. What they'll actually do is most likely expanding features for side-loading with enterprise certificates, improving solutions like Alt Store.

  I disagree with supported. I think jailbreaking is in good place right now. No company should be force to fix phones that we cause harm to due to breaking into, but companies should also not be allowed to claim that that alone is the reason a product is broken without evidence. I can’t imagine being forced to support a misuse of a product I develop outside of the scope Of it’s advertised intentions if it directly leads to the products deterioration.

    Mobile carriers were locking their devices and even if you owned the phone you had to pay some guy to unlock it for you to use it with other carriers(or buy a new phone). Unlocking the device was just a software thing, no risk to cause problems . Companies were forced to give you the code to unlock the device(if you own it) and now the devices are already unlocked(not sure if is a law or companies realized that it was a stupid idea to lock stuff by default if I buy it and then have to implement an unlock customer support line . And it makes sense, you just hate the company more if you feel they are malicious and lock you.
