Apple isn’t happy about India’s demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C::Apple has urged the Indian IT ministry to make changes to its single charger rules, as adding USB-C to older iPhone models will make it hard for Apple to meet production targets for India’s manufacturing and export laws.

    I’m usually happy about the things that Apple is unhappy about. And I’m all in so there’s no anti-Apple bias.

    They want their products to bind but not protect you, I demand they protect but do not bind me. And I’m not one to compromise

      If I’m understanding what you wrote, I think you actually are bound to Apple. Most people in the Apple ecosystem aren’t going to leave it, because there’s too much inertia to overcome to leave it.

        What I mean is I configure everything so it works for me and everything is portable/exportable and contingencies are in place so if they ever start screwing around again to an extent I can’t tolerate or mitigate, then at least my data isn’t hostage in the process while I reassess.

        I don’t allow any of their defaults to stand before I start breaking in whatever product/service.

            Good question.

            Cuz it does lots of other cool shit that keeps me reeled in and it has some irreplaceable apps and other functions I rely on to manage my life. I just like to have custody and sole access to my data and they don’t pay me for said data so its need to know basis.
