Taking the question literally, don’t buy Apple products in the future (or do, assuming regulations effect change in Apple’s APIs). Not to argue in support of Apple here -- I disagree with many decisions which limit what I can do with hardware I purchase, including their “webkit only” policy. But there’s still a certain understanding about the current state of Apple products such that I find it a bit hard to sympathize with someone who bought an iphone expecting this sort of custom interoperability. (A non-technical user is far less likely to want this level of customization and a technical one really ought to know better.) To your point, however, I do certainly hope that changes. It’d be really nice to be able to reasonably consider general purpose hardware to be practically useful for... ahem general purposes.
