It's weird that the focus is so heavily on businesses and alleged harms to businesses (to ie, scam customers with hard to cancel renewals).

One reason folks LIKE apple is because apple has the market power to do things that yes - hurt other businesses but that make the consumer experience better.

When I get my iphone it's not loaded with carrier crap. Seriously, android you might be getting tons of carrier junk on your phone.

When I go to cancel a subscription its super easy. Apple even REMINDS me to cancel if I delete an app with a subscription tied to it (ie, that renews annually). They also notify me in ADVANCE of renewals to let me cancel.

Trial offers with higher renewing rates, the renewal rate is at the same font size and right in the payment acknowledgement for any trials.

And the list goes on.

Look at this against the lack of enforcement against totally blatant scams (billions) from the elderly. Total ripoffs and dark patterns - unconcealable subscriptions etc etc. Of all the consumer harm - apple should be way way way down on the list.
