Surprising virtually no one. Tim Cook's legacy won't be sales numbers or new products (e.g. Vision Pro), it'll be bowing to an unlawful king and dictator in the name of protecting profit, and putting that over people.

Not that I envy Cook's position. He's gay, which makes him a target of the current administration. Also, their business is based on importing goods from countries the administration wants to punish. And his job is increasing profit. He's doing a good job of that despite the odds being stacked against him. Still, right is right and wrong is wrong. Tim Cook will not be remembered fondly, except perhaps by the administration. And the shareholders — but I repeat myself. The working class isn't investing in Apple or anything but their own grocery bills.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure a website that could be accessed by users of any phone platform should still work, until it get seized by the administration... so maybe it could be, I dunno... federated? Is that a word?

This is now the american way. Corporations decide what you can and cant do. Both Google and Apple are at it. Sounds a lot like the PRC telling its corporations what and how to censor. What is the difference now between chinese and american censorship? Is there any?

This’ll be just like when they banned flappy bird and then we never saw another flappy bird derivative ever again

I've said it for years (decades?), "FUCK APPLE".

I hate a closed-source ecosystem. Fuck them all.

Ssh... some of the fandroids still believe they have headphone jacks, memory cards, back buttons, and sideloading.

They still do have sideloading for another year or so.

But I's sure when Google has taken away all the things that made Android different from Apple, they're going to stop collecting your user data and selling it to the highest bidder now that Android flagships are more expensive than iPhones? I'm so sure they will... Any time now. /s
