It’s not about what apple wants. It’s about consumers having the freedom to do whatever the fuck they want with their device. If i buy a chair and want to add a 5th leg Ikea has no say in the matter so why should apple have a say in my app choices?
Have you tried to have a smart phone outside of Apple or Android? They are clearly operating as a duopoly at this stage, they need tackled
no, we don't. Android is becoming the same thing. So intervention is needed
Regulations like these exist to protect people who can't protect themselves.
The average apple-user is too stupid to understand or appreciate the value of an open ecosystem, so it's up to those who know better to fight on their behalf.
It's the truth whether you like it or not.
Viruses are malware, for example. You're completely clueless and feel embarrassed that someone dared mention it's a trait of people who buy apple products.
You should educate yourself instead of getting mad at those who are more knowledgeable than you.
Either you're trolling, or just proving me right about the mental capacity of the average apple user. You tried to make a list by saying 1 thing because you don't have any idea of what you're talking about.
You really should just take the L and move on. You've embarrassed yourself enough.
No, you tried to make a list that amounted to saying only 1 thing: that Windows has malware.
Now you're just flustered and trying to save face. It's unfortunate that you're not taking this opportunity to reflect and learn, but I can't say I expected more from the average apple user; you pride yourselves on ignorance.
Keep insulting me bud, you're just proving me right again and again about how inept apple users are.
You're literally throwing a tantrum because you can't tolerate being proven wrong.
You're desperate to save face.
You may have the last reply since you clearly can't go on without it.
Hopefully you'll be able to accept when you're wrong without lashing out when you're more mature.
Have a good day.
no I don't have that choice, see my other comment
