Is carrier lock still a thing in the US?
I think it is, but it's not like you can't get unlocked iPhones in the US. I think carriers also are required to unlock your phone if you ask them, but I may be imagining that.

#24They are using Google reviews as proxy for customer satisfaction. I really can't take rest of the article seriously after that, knowing anyone can leave a review at Google and there's no guarantee they own the phone. Sure, 99% satisfaction rate is pretty much impossible, but if all Apple asked was "are you satisfied with iPhone 14" with "yes" & "not at all" options and only surveyed iPhone 14 owners, I can easily see…
Do you mean you can't take Apple seriously? The article is calling out this issue, not engaging in it.
> I can easily see the number being 99%.
No, it can't. It's utterly impossible for it to be 99% unless it's fake data.

#25If only there’s no carrier lock and photos can be backed up easily to personal storage.
possibly one can get a phone subsidized and locked until an extortion fee is paid, though, or get a phone from work that an employer didn't pay to have unlocked.

#26"They opened our email 73 times, but didn’t respond." This counter does not work right? I know it is a minor thing, but I immediately stopped reading further. I have a problem...
Apple's Protect Mail Activity feature, which is on by default, "opens" all emails received on a server, to hide the user's IP address. This causes emails with tracker pixels to be falsely reported as read.
For a while, I was confused why all of my GitHub notifications were being marked as read!

#27(Especially since a lot of people who don’t like iPhones would have gone to Androids at this point anyway, so current iPhone customers is a somewhat self selecting demographic)

#30Give me an iPhone 5 that’s fast enough to run an os that has all the software bloat we have today. Then, stop adding more bloat to force us to buy newer hardware
