Yet more reasons why I won't give apple any of my money. I can only see one benefit of this to the consumer. If you maybe happen to be a target of some spy agency who manage to get your phone and need to drop some component into it to spy on you, that isnt going to be easy now. /s Genuinely no need for this other than making apple more money.

Would you rather give your money to Google, the company that is what it is today through turning their users' information into products to sell to the highest bidder? Apple gives a shit about your privacy. Why is that upsetting to you?

  I give my money to whatever company who provides devices I'm in control of. As it stands that is Google, like it or not. I take care of my own privacy, no for profit company cares about your privacy, you're kidding yourself if you think they are.

  You can be both against Apple's anti-repair practices and against Google.

  > Apple gives a shit about your privacy. Do they really give a shit about your privacy though? They mess with 3rd parties (eg: Facebook), but Apple itself seems to be happy to collect data about you and your devices, not use end-to-end encryption for many of their services, scan content on your device, etc. Maybe they're better than Google, but I wouldn't say that they give a shit about my privacy.

  Let's get real here. Apple (like Google) doesn't give a shit about your privacy - their only concern is profit.

That’s a sane answer. I don’t care about that stuff and value other stuff more, so I buy from Apple. You don’t, you don’t buy from Apple, but from another company. And unless Apple starts paying me money to be an Apple evangelist, I have no reason to try to convince you wrong.

  That is not sane. That is an irrational concern.
