    Sadly many won’t care, but for those that do it removes one of the key differentiators. Plus it’s kind of hard to trust a company that has had such a wild change in values - Apple have at least been consistent.

    Edit: I didn’t think it needed to be spelled out, but no I’m not suggesting Apple are trustworthy.

      Tim Cook is a billionaire. I trust him no more than any other billionaire.

      Lest anyone forgets, he’s put money into Trumps inauguration fund, and if I remember correctly, some other things as well.

      I’ll keep grabbing refurbished, carrier unlocked androids from Backmarket, and load GrapheneOS on em.

        BackMarket is the way to go. I won’t buy tech from anywhere else. No more money to big tech companies who only care about the bottom line no matter the cost.

          Absolutely the way to go! I haven’t bought a new phone since 2015. When I can afford it, I’ll grab a laptop to replace my 7 year old HP envy.
