Grabbing my popcorn to watch as the apple sympathizing crowd comes up with more excuses
You don't want do to that? Good, don't. Make it so that I can, if I have to tick a box somewhere hidden in Apple's labyrinthine and undiscoverable Settings app.
Of course, we already know the answer why I can't do what I want with my phone, because it isn't my phone, is it, Apple continues to think of it as theirs and they simply grudgingly rent it to you for awhile all the while treating you the user as the enemy.
You have a legal right to jailbreak it and hack on it in any way you like.
But it does resolve the question of what you have a right to do with your phone, which is in fact anything you like.
Nobody can legitimately claim they aren’t allowed to do what they want with their phone.
It’s simply not true.
It’s obviously true that many people wish Apple designed their software differently.
Those people are free and not to buy things they don’t like the design of.
Not one person on this thread has explained how they were forced to buy an iPhone.
Whether people can buy other phones is irrelevant to the question of whose phone an iPhone is. I fully agree that people should buy other phones.
What you can and can’t do with it depends on your capabilities. Apple sold it to you as it is.
It’s up to you to decide what is possible.
They have the legal right.
well, you kind of can, you just need a mac and xcode ^^;
