I switched Android years ago, because I found it creepy that Apple was literally banking on selling expensive, deliberately disposable/unrepairable phones that were designed to work safely and best w/ easy to lose expensive headphones that had to be **purchased separately**

Yes, but no one did anything to make it better for consumers and developers. Except the DOJ now. Good work.
