The only long-term solution I can think of is to build a competing hardware company, and that’s really hard. But I’m willing to do it.

When suppliers do this, they put customers back into a buying position. Instead of defaulting to buying another iPhone, I’m back in a buying position. So let me ask: what is a good alternative to an iPhone Xs on the market? I was also super
