>The 30% app store fee is a problem for the developers, not the consumers. Like Epic? No Fortnite on iOS. Tell me how all of that is not bad for consumers. >The removal of the headphone socket, from their perspective, was to move people to wireless headphones. Which only serves Apple's interests. There is zero reason they couldn't have a headphone socket in addition to wireless. If their wireless was so compelling people would happily switch without these artificial self-serving incentives. Samsung S10 5G has headphone socket, is waterproof and is 7.9mm thick vs iPhone 13 which is 7.7mm. That was just the first phone I could find, there's probably thinner ones with headphone sockets. So the thickness argument is ridiculous. >Unrepairable devices where you can't even replace a battery (I assume you mean iPhones) is to reduce their manufacturing cost and to make the device more reliable. 5c for a connector on such an expensive phone? And no, it's their laptops as well, because Apple. Only serves Apple's interests, of course. > Same nonsense about the displays. The displays include the facetime cameras and infrastructure, which is intimately tied to the security enclave. Having those two bound together makes the device more secure. Untrue and only serves Apple's interests. Security theater and, you guessed it, only serves Apple's interests. >Calling disallowing WebGPU as somehow creating "victims" is nonsense. Untrue and only serves Apple's interests. Apple products are crippled and have so many arbitrary limitations that always conveniently serve Apple's interests. You have drunk gallons of the kool aid.
