Other than their asinine charging cable/accessory situations I consistently find myself agreeing with Apple pretty much any time any government body or group is mad they won't do something.
They're generally on the wrong side of the battle for right to repair and removable batteries too.
But yeah, privacy they almost always have the right of it.
Requiring usb c was something I agreed with. But indeed many times apple has rightly fought for their userbase.
how do you reckon?
only time they have been on the consumer's side was with regards to privacy, refusing to comply with the FBI and now this.
everything else they are pretty anti-consumer, off the top of my head
first to remove jack 3.5 (even though I don't really care about this, others do.)
sticking to shitty lightning cable so they can sell overpriced cables
the charger thing with the EU
worst of all entirely against right to repair
Honestly modern phones not having 3.5mm doesn't bother me nearly as much as the loss of micro SD
I'm never getting a phone without a micro SD port
To be fair, those first three points fall squarely under that "charging cable/accessory situations" exception. With Apple, it turns out that's a pretty broad exception.
