If you pay for a device, you should be able to do whatever you want with it. Apple having so much control over it means that you don't fully own it.
But… something something security and something something not a monopoly… am I doing this anti-consumer white knight thing right?
No no no apple knows whats best because they made it. did you make a phone? no? didnt think so. checkmate.
(Pay no attention to the fact that it took apple 14 years to add t9 dialing, one of the simplest features a 'dumb' phone could have.)
I was always surprised by that (t9 dialing). Surely there was some legal reason for that. It felt so - primative.
