This might sound crazy but some people want the freedom to use their belongings however they want instead of having artificial child locks placed on them by trillion dollar corporate daddies.

But, sadly, as evidenced by apple’s share price, not enough people.

  • That’s only because there is only one alternative that is more or less equally shitty (Android) and no room for any competition whatsoever.

    It’s not like people really have options to choose when it comes to choosing a smartphone.

    It’s easy to have a growing share price when you are a duopoly. You don’t have to serve your users.

    • Android may be shitty but it allows you to install an APK you downloaded from god knows where, and that's enough of a deal-making feature for me.

      I also own a Linux phone, but I don't use it. Maybe one day someone will create one that's actually usable...
