Your gonna have to back up that sort of statement. I'm not an apple fanboy, but I take security and privacy seriously, and they seem to really be on the consumers side in that regard. Please inform me how they push back against "good stuff" for the consumer

Oh I don't know, starting or popularising the trend of gluing the phone together, removing the 3.5mm jack, not adopting the standardised method for post-sms communication (rcs vs imessage) to name a few.

They are going to answer with some stupid reasoning like removing the 3.5mm jack.

But truly Apple stance on right-to-repair really is their only non-defendable stance. And this is coming from an Apple fanboy.

3.5mm jack >> Bluetooth

Not objectively

Yes, objectively.

Don’t think you understand what objectively means.

I do, unlike certain someone drinking Apple's kool aid and defending corporate bullshit.

I’m not defending anything, other than basic usage of the English language. I’m not saying Bluetooth is better, objectively or subjectively, than a wired connection. You’re free to prefer one over the other, but any preference is just that, a preference.
