Apple's profitability and their ability to sell devices is Apple's problem, not Spotify's.
Apple is not entitled to a cut of every transaction that happens on my device, despite however much their claim otherwise.
- Andrew_nenakhov 3y agoApple's stance is that your iPhone is not your, but still Apple's, and you're only renting it under strict conditions.
- _aavaa_ 3y agoAnd my stance is that if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a duck. Purchasing something already has an established definition and strong implicit contracts associated with that. Sooner or later this BS shall pass and I will be able to buy a phone without agreeing to a EULA and own the phone in the same way that I buy a banana and own it without having to agree to a EULA.
- ildjarn 3y agoAre Apple obligated to update your device too?
- amf12 3y agoIf they promised updates for x years, then yes.
- _aavaa_ 3y agoTotally irrelevant to whether I own what I bought at the time of sale. If they want to release free updates (which I own a copy of) that's fine. If they make me pay for updates (which I will also then own a copy of) that's also fine. If they want to make me sign a Eula to get updates from them, fine I won't sign it but you better have not locked me out of my own device by preventing me from installing other operating systems.
