    I’m gonna beat the same drum most people beat here, you know it’s dystopian when you need the manufacturer’s permission to be “let” delete something from your device. This criticism equally applies to Android devices with locked bootloaders.

      People who lead easy lives complain for the sake of complaining. I bet you nobody at war is worried about it at all.

      Apple products feel like you have an IT department preinstalled on your devices.

    It will be interesting to see what the fanboys and the apologists say to this. What is truly sad, is that it is only the people in the european union that get to do this. The rest of the world is locked under apple’s tight grip, with its dirty nails digging into us.
