But the device consists of the hardware, the os and the app store. The is no "hardware" in the Apple universe. And that is good. If you don't like it that way, buy a Nokia.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoThat makes no sense. Device refers to the physical machine. The software running on it is a completely separate matter. Just look at Apple's M1 laptops and Asahi Linux. I don't want to buy a Nokia. Apple's hardware is really good and I want to buy their devices. I just don't want to become a serf in their digital fiefdom.
