They need to ban this shit. I need to be able to pickup a $30 flip phone and get it working with my sim. Honestly, Apple has added a lot if features I dislike and since I pretty much gave up on mobile privacy/security I have been preferring them because of nice ux/hardware but this is too much for me.
5G and wifi can track my movements through walls, "find my device" will use a satellite to pin me down if my account is pwned, businesses and employers are requiring these tracking devices. This shit is too messed up.
I am gonna be moving to laptops and flip phones completely (except now esim threatens them as well). Please let me know if there are non-profits that lobby and promote liberty and privacy preserving tech. That aside I will write lawmakers I guess what other way is there to enact laws that tell apple and pals to fuck off with that shit?
- cowtools 4y agoSure, phones have been moving in a terrible direction in terms of privacy, but I don't really see what the difference here is with eSim. Your modem can communicate with cell towers regardless of whether it has a SIM connected.
- _8j50 4y agoIt means i can't switch to a more private phone easily. For example I sometimes move my sim to a flip phone with only 4g now I won't be able to do that without contacting the carrier and jumping through hoops. They are enforcing sims as a permanent thing so it is more inconvenient for consumers and more costly for smaller device makers.
