I hate to say this, but I won't fault Apple's decision to do this. If you think they're abusing their market power, vote with your wallet: stop buying Apple.
If you still choose to buy their products despite this 'abuse' then you're indirectly saying that it's a net positive for you & that you don't mind.
- _piif 3y agoNot particularly easy when they're the only ones who have even the slightest bit of respect for the privacy of their users in the mobile market. The other choices that come to my mind are either: - Normal Google Android, which is just spyware - Android but without any GApps, which barely runs anything relevant - Android with either MicroG / sandboxed Play Services, which AFAIK breaks Google's ToS and is at the mercy of them not breaking those - GNU/Linux phones, which I can not in good conscience call primary daily-driver ready - Dumb phones I guess? Doesn't leave us with many options. At this point it's choosing the lesser of two evils.
