As an "old" Apple customer, I'm going to say it's well deserved it's not like they didn't work hard for that to happen. Apple's behavior since a few years after Job's passing (around 2015) has been appalling on many fronts. They take their customers for fools and try very hard to trap them into their prison with very little recourse (and no you don't just get rid of very expensive devices for an alternative, especially if many of your purchases are dependent on the use of one of those devices). As I get older, I care less and less especially since I am unlikely to purchase another iPhone (at the current price point with the current limitations) or any other Apple devices for that matters. In fact, the moment I decide to replace my Apple watch all the rest will follow in short order. While the platforms are still nice in some ways, they just don't provide enough lasting value with the current pricing and forced obsolescence (both hardware and software). Anyway that's good news for everyone because in the futur Apple and their friends will maybe think twice before fucking over their customers with absurdly anti-competitive rules.
