The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down

Since the very first iPhone, the walls of Apple’s meticulously manicured garden have grown ever higher. Now, they’re starting to crumble.

@verge

Apple has a vested interest in keeping us believing that the brand name on your phone matters.

IMO, it's entirely because of apple that it does matter - do I want the one brand that's a locked down proprietary POS and ties me to an ecosystem of a company I want nothing to do with, has a UI that still feels straight out of 2010 (still no haptic feedback? come on... or the desktop cluttered with more icons than a boomer's WinXP box...), etc or do I want a normal phone that does what I expect it to?

@SiteRelEnby @verge The funny thing about this is that if I used Android, I would be tying myself to a company I don’t want to deal with.
