Those are pretty basic functions that Apple just locks you into. iOS would not have to be open source for those things to change… At all.

That wasn't my point. My point was that all those requests are feature requests, as opposed to lifting some artificial restrictions. Because iOS is not open source, they would need to be coded by Apple, so it's a perfectly valid business decision on their sise not to invest in them.

I mean, that's exactly what many of us are doing.

I know. That's my point. People are complaining about decisions made by the company as if they're civil rights violations. "I can't change the default SMS app on my phone!" This has always been the case with the iPhone since the beginning. Until Apple says that this is now a new part of the OS, pretending like that was some kind of bait and switch or deceptive business practice is completely silly.

I feel like I see this on the internet more and more lately. Paragraph one starts with some shoddy, made up evidence where they mock some idea and then you look for the start of paragraph 2 to figure out what they're really getting themselves upset about: "This is my biggest complaint with the "Right to Repair" movement." So yeah, have a problem with some group, reorganize information to make that group look bad and…

I appreciate you trying to discredit me instead of the argument I was making but the article has been modified since its posting. The original had a claim where the guy said he was using original, authorized Apple parts: [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20160327050030/http://www.pckomp...

> People are complaining about decisions made by the company as if they're civil rights violations. No they aren't - not here at least. Scanning this thread, it looks like they're just complaining. > pretending like that was some kind of bait and switch or deceptive business practice is completely silly. Who did that? Can you point out a specific comment? I certainly didn't and I don't see any other comments that did…

>Anyway, there is an anti-trust lawsuit against Apple right now. And what are the damages claimed against them? Even if they have 50% marketshare, they still have competition with a larger marketshare both domestic and worldwide. There's nothing that can be brought against them because they're not doing anything illegal or immoral.
