You think Apple cares about locking down a device just for the sake of taking advantage of the ignorant masses?
The truth is a lot simpler than that. They aren't trying to enslave humanity. They are just control freaks with a culture of creating art. It's ingrained in their corporate culture that people shouldn't decide how to use Apple's products. They believe that they should control that.
Whether you agree with that or not is your own choice. But it's just plain stupid to say that there is some kind of plot against "freedom" here.
- smallblacksun 15y agoI agree that they aren't plotting against freedom, but not for the same reason as you. I think that they want to make money, and think that controlling content is best the way to do that.
- k33n 15y agoOf course they want to make money though. They are a business. However, they've forgone more profitable business models in the past in favor of tighter control and they'll likely continue to do that.
- troyastorino 15y agoIt's hard to argue that they've forgone more profitable business models, as they are in the top 10 most profitable companies in the US, and are the most valuable company.
