Have you considered the alternative, namely that people really don’t care about owning (as you define it) their phone?

- cryptoz 15y agoTo me, it doesn't really matter whether or not most people care about that in their phone. The definition stands. Nobody but Apple owns iPhones. Maybe no iPhone users care about that, and that's fine. But that doesn't change the fact that they own a license to use it and not the product itself.
- xsmasher 15y agoWould you say the same about your TV, your wristwatch, or your car? If not, why not? They all run software that you don't have the source to, and in some cases can't modify at all (burned into ROMs.)
- jhuni 15y agoPeople do care which is why there is an entire free software movement that shares my concerns.
- ugh 15y agoYeah, some people do care but they don’t buy an iPhone. I’m talking about those people who actually do buy one.
