This is completely upside down. Can all Apple haters for once put down their haters&#x27; hat and try and be reasonable for the good of everybody?<p>You phrased all that just to get to the conclusion that Apple is an over-controlling company imposing rules on otherwise super tech savvy users. Well sorry to break the news for you, but people decide on their own which smartphone to buy.<p>Globally, most of the time, it&#x27;s an Android phone. Globally, most of the time, it&#x27;s an OLD and cheap Android phone, with firmwares so old and so full of holes that calling it insecure would be an euphemism.<p>But hey, I suppose they&#x27;re much better off, since they can DECIDE what phone to buy, right? It&#x27;s certainly not their income deciding for them... 
Better, they can even root it! Make it even more insecure! Install pirated software that hides malware and will steal their ids or their money! Now THAT&#x27;s choice and power to the user!
