>>Apple being motivated by improving security are BS Their motivation is most definitely money now. Maybe not in the start though. Whatever their motives are though I’m super satisfied as a customer that they haven’t went down the android path of version calamity, an app store that I have zero trust in as an app buyer. Also tell me an android flavor the supports devices purchased 6 years ago? It’s a package deal. Having the wealth that is generated by the things that the EU has mandated will cause cuts in other areas of device support and/r&d. The option is making less profit or bumping prices to offset. In time we will see. I think it would be great of Apple to just stop selling devices in the EU as a thanks to politicians who voted for this ill advised rule. I’d like to see how long it would take for them to roll it back because you know they would eventually buckle to the people. To you and those of like thinking just assert your freedom of choice and go buy an android device along with the shit show it is and leave us to our relatively safe walled garden.

>definitely money now wait, so it wasn't money before? when they ran all those ads and did all of that 'we're the only privacy company' marketing? i guess it worked really well. when some of it was kinda just, reframing of lacking features and capabilities, and their 'closed ecosystem/walled garden' structure, as 'more secure'.

  I think is was more about the customer in the Steve Jobs era. And honestly I’m glad money is a component of it now. A financially healthy Apple is a sign they are meeting the customer’s needs. I bought into the ecosystem coming from Android for all the reasons stated. I honestly miss the ability to sideload apps and firmware but am willing to pay the walled garden price. If you don’t like IOS in it’s current form don’t buy it but don’t knowingly buy it knowing it’s not what you want. Don’t be the noisy spoiled 1% of our society and try and make the rest conform to your ideals. Go choose something else to ruin. If enough consumers vote with their wallet Apple will take notice. In this case that is the correct way to pursue change.
