    Locking customers? Not me. I'm not that stupid to pick that limited thing over advanced and cool Samsung.

      This might seem, unfair to Apple but it is very necessary. There's nothing wrong with making all of your products work seamlessly and have a fluid user experience however actively making it so that your competitors products "seem worst/inferior" is in fact a business tactic on their part to make their product "seem" superior rather than it actually being superior. Simple thing like USB C being the standard yet them maintaining an alternative charging port for so long, for no legitimate reason other than to add another layer of perceived superiority.

          Blackrock's owners are getting very upset. The tribe that can't be criticised got some slap over their hands.
          Or maybe they want more control or access to people's data

                    I'm rather surprised that THIS article, and others like it, don't provide just provide a direct link the DoJ's press release?

                    The reasons are carefully spelt out complete with a PDF further detailing their reasoning with substantial evidence:

                    More importantly, it's an early warning to the likes of Google and Samsung.

                      Good. Apple deserves a kick but their fanboys love the abuse.

                        Anonymous, 22 Mar 2024As if they don't already have NSA backdoors.Apple has refused requests to decrypt iPhones for terror suspects before. Guess they just didn't want to use their "backdoor" right?

                          Of course it does, when you make your trillions "bending" the law 😂

                            Like a few short days after Apple announced China continue to be a major part of their ongoing strategy? Sounds a tad too convenient IMO.

                              Dear GSMArena team, please stop using Ai generated images, they are low quality in every aspect, it cheapens the feel of the website, lest not we assume later on that even the articles themselves may or may not be Ai generated

                                As a normal user i have used both android and apple
                                I have used iphone 15 pro max for sometime and have Samsung s23 ultra as my phone
                                If you have the budget having both phones is the best option but if not android is the best option for experts
                                Android is open source and you can add any apps or dapps on it which is a must for me but apple is the best for photo editing gaming and streaming and normal.users
                                I love and hate apple since i love the phone but because of limitations i can't use and because of that i hate it
                                If with this new law apple OS becomes open source i will be a hardcore fan

                                    I see a lot of "I recently moved from Android to iPhone for (generic) reason, and haven't seen any restrictions" comments all over the internet this week. I wonder why?

                                    These kind of front page news stories ought to be excellent opportunities for data analysts to calculate how many robot comments Apple generates across the internet per day, since the "reactions" become so generically bland.

                                        Fanboys just keep enjoying this while it lasts, when things end up turn table surely Android fans will screaming hurt comments. Surely no point to celebrating this. Like you said, when Apple rise again that gonna hurt Android a lot, for better just be balance for both side. It just a device made by different faction, fanboys who fighting over this seems kinda immature, wasting time in typing and unrest because they can’t keep what they hate off from their head.
