Wouldn't do that much harm to Apple. All it would do is break people's devices without their consent. Not to mention all that e-waste.

Australia banned half a million active devices from their mobile networks today. It must be a new trend.

There is no mention of anyone breaking phones. Where the hell is this claim coming from?

This ban covers both the sale and operation of iPhone 16 models and extends to units already sold.

They're getting it from there.

"Banning" means making illegal in some fashion. That is very different from breaking phones.
