I feel uncomfortable with these changes. Between this, digital currencies, airlines not doing printed boarding passes, metros requiring smartphones, … it feels like we are going to lose control and privacy as consumers.

Buy a different phone, then. It's still a free market, quit your complaining.

You can be wrong or you can be an ass, but, unfortunately, you're both.

What's your magic solution, then? Tattle to the FTC? Beg the President to reign in Tim Apple before he manifests the antichrist?

I'm afraid you're the wrong one here, this is our fealty to Apple paid back in due. If I have to be an ass to get people to stop buying surveillance slopware, so be it. You have no other option at this point, I'm not going to canvas for your rights as an Apple customer in 2025. This is what you support when you give them your money, enjoy!

Edit: I am addressing the OP's point. You called me wrong - I am defending my original point to OP, while illustrating why your dismissal is not relevant to the discussion.

Wrong assumptions in your comments:

1. I'm an Apple customer.

2. I live in the US.

3. It's a free market.
