I’ll vote with my vote thank you. My table’s manufacturer shouldn’t get a say in what I put on my table, and Apple shouldn’t get a say about my phone either.
These clearly anti-consumer practices should just be illegal.
Which country does this vote happen in?
Last I heard even EU policy was ways off of that target.
Also: EU policy is very shcceptible to political tides. Sure now we love to scream sovereignty from the rooftops but that is guaranteed to change eventually.
> Apple shouldn’t get a say about my phone either.
They operate the factories manufacturing the phones. They have total say about their phones, and you have no say. Your almighty powers within the Linux terminal doesn't extend beyond it.
And my table manufacturer operates the factories that makes it, that doesn't mean we give them the right to dictate how we use it.
Nobody is stopping you from taking apart your iPhone and using AI to reverse engineer it and run custom software. Apple has made it as difficult as they can, but they haven't made it illegal, and they haven't even made it impossible, so from the law's perspective there is nothing to fix here. The law just sees yet another thing that nobody's bothered to do yet. The law wouldn't pass a regulation requiring Apple to make it easier to reverse engineer an iPhone any sooner than it would pass a regulation requiring Coca-Cola to make it easier to reverse engineer their formula.
Note that earlier this year, a YouTuber did reverse engineer the Coca-Cola formula because nothing was actually stopping someone from doing it, all this time. You could be that guy for iPhones.

I'll vote with my vote as well, and my vote will not be for candidates who equate computers with tables. Hacking isn't a human right. Go buy a different phone if you don't like Apple's phones. There are a bunch to choose from.
