This has been necessary since the damn thing launched.
It’s your phone. Not Apple’s. This pocket computer belongs exclusively to you. That’s what the money was for.
What kind of dumbass spends that money on a device that doesn’t do what they want it to?
Let’s avoid blaming victims. There should be no product that’s the wrong product, for exercising your rights.
Not that I appreciate anyone funding this abusive company, sixteen years on.
Victims? What a dumb take. It’s not like apple allowed side loading and then pulled the rug out. Do you get pissy if you buy a car and find out it doesn’t work underwater?
You sound like the neck beards bitching about the Barbie movie. Of course they didn’t like it, it’s not for them, it’s made for little girls. If you want to sideload, the iPhone isn’t for you. It’s for people who don’t care about that. That’s most people. I can’t imagine going through life so entitled that you believe every product needs to cater towards your use case.
Fuck off if you’re going to lob insults and ignore the argument.
These are your rights. It is your computer. It should do what you fucking tell it to.
I’m not wasting another second on you if your idea of discourse is ‘this is what you sound like, myeh myeh myeh.’ Childmove nonsense.
I didn’t ignore your argument. People who buy a device knowing what it’s capabilities are, and then whine that it doesn’t do more, are dumb. Your argument is dumb.
Right and responsibilities are two sides of the same coin. What about your responsibility to know what you’re buying? What about the rights of people who want the curated experience a walled garden approach gives them? You know, the ones iPhones are designed for. The people who bought the right phone for their use case.
If you don’t want me to point it out, stop sounding like that I guess.
‘You should know it’s broken!’ Nothing should be sold broken, this way. Stop blaming the victims of this abuse. Stop parroting Apple’s excuses for a decision obviously fueled by naked greed.
No company should have the ability to do what Apple does to iPhone users.
Android also has a walled garden. If you want to stay in it… you can just… not leave. No such option exists for iPhone users, and it’s been intolerable bullshit for sixteen straight years.
It’s not broken. It works exactly as it was designed and marketed. It’s not for you, and you apparently can’t conceive of a device made for anyone else.
Sell them exactly the experience they paid for?
Interesting point, Android exists. What’s stopping you from buying one if you don’t like the iPhone? Why are you so entitled that you believe apple should cater to your use case when there’s a myriad of other phones you could buy?
It’s for whoever owns it.
It’s your computer.
No company should tell you what you can’t do with your own god-damn computer.
Do you lack object permanence? Or do you circle back to blaming the victim just to piss me off? The existence of phones that don’t deny people’s rights will never excuse abusive garbage. Android does what you want out of iOS, and all you have to do is not fuck with it. Your excuses make no goddamn sense. Meanwhile: Apple’s spent a decade and a half fighting their own customers who had to jailbreak their own devices just to see the file system.
Why the fuck would someone not be entitled to have their computer do what they want?
