Nearly everything you list involves Apple blocking features and material which individual Governments consider illegal or objectionable. Apple is merely complying with the laws of each country it trades within, just as you would expect Xiaomi to comply with US laws when they sell their electronics in America.
If you don't like the laws of other countries, you should be angry with the Government which enacted them—not its citizens or corporate residents for complying with them.
- dustyharddrive 5y agoThe issue here is that Apple makes phones (the iOS App Store is the subject of much if these articles) where they are the gatekeepers to the only method of software installation, making this compliance more problematic.
- simondotau 5y agoI’d rather Apple be the ultimate technical gatekeeper than to have a device which, for all I know, comes pre-rooted by my dystopian government. Or where apps are distributed openly and are thus potentially loaded with spyware.
