> You gotta be kidding me. It is literally impossible for a user to run software on an iOS device without Apple digitally signing it. "Manage their Apple stuff"? What a bunch of BS. More like create their own digital fiefdom where they own users, determine what they can and can't do and sell access to them to third party developers like they were cattle. Then don't buy Apple products? I totally agree with you in spirit in a lot of your points and I want more freedoms on my hardware. I just understand why we are in this situation as users. We don't have the market power like businesses do when it comes to hardware and most consumers don't care or don't understand their loss of freedoms. > You said it yourself, it's about "controlling what software is run on company owned hardware". We don't own these devices, the companies do. There is no freedom to be had here, we're all playing on their playgrounds. Yep, 100% agree here. There are zero freedoms when you are using company owned devices. They have every right to lock them down to the playground they desire for their users. The hardware market is building what their end users want. It just so happens their biggest paying end users are businesses.
