As a customer I would like to be able to make that decision. I don't need apple to hold my hand. They could inform me in the app store or when I install the app. Here apple is making that decision for me.
- Propelloni 2y agoApple is obviously the vendor for people who like to have their hands held. If you don't like that, make your decision earlier, just don't buy Apple. Worked for me the last decade.
- ch4s3 2y agoI'm happy for them to hold my hand on commodity electronics. I don't ever want to have to think about how my phone and headphones work. I like to fiddle with computers, but not the stuff I need to run my day to day life.

- op00to 2y agoApple has a monopoly on mobile devices?
- jobs_throwaway 2y agoThey have dominant market position on mobile phones in the US which allows them to act anti-competitively, yes
- jmb99 2y ago> As a customer I would like to be able to make that decision. You can. There are dozens (hundreds?) of phones you can buy that aren’t an iPhone. It’s been well known for nearly 20 years at this point that iPhones are more closed than the competition (of which, again, there is a lot). They are successful because of this, not in spite of it, contrary to internet belief.
