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.

    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.

      NO

          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.
