    Very untrue. Consumers have the power to buy far cheaper Android phones where they have far more freedoms, but not only do the majority of American consumers refuse to do this, they voluntarily and systematically shame those who do.

    Statistically, Most American consumers are pretty dumb and act against their own interests

      Consumers literally do not have a choice to buy the services the article was discussing – apple’s media streamers – from someone else. Apple monopolizes that content.

      RTFA. It is not about phones.

      And even for phones, to get a functionally-acceptable product, your choice is one of maybe 5 manufacturers who all tacitly collude to keep prices up and keep unprofitable consumer choices far, far away.

        Sounds like you never used Android.

          The both of you sound pathetic. It’s a fucking phone, not a religion.

              Again, these sorts of tribal sentiments for products is pathetic and embarrassing. They’re both OSes from two massive corporations that couldn’t give two shits about you. Be as pragmatic about this as they are to everyone else.
