>There has to be a way for the physical owner to have full control over the device. It's not even a matter of inmediate benefit, but rather good consumer/human rights policy. Really? Do you have "full control" over your TV? Your dishwasher? Your microwave? Your car? I hear this argument on HN, but I've never met an iPhone customer who complained about not being able to side-load apps. Anecdata to be sure, but Apple's goal is to satisfy customers and therefore sell lots and lots of phones. If there were significant customer demand, Apple would work to satisfy that demand.

> Really? Do you have "full control" over your TV? Your dishwasher? Your microwave? Your car? You should. I would 100% support a law that forces companies to not implement digital locks that only they can open, even when the device is no longer owned by them.
