The other great thing about this sector is it’s one with such potentially great margins.
My sister once worked at an opticians and told me how they bought designer frames for £10 and sold them for £200

Like disco, the jail breaking fad is dead and now looking pretty silly in hindsight. 

Only for the people who bought polyester suits because they wanted to be like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.  The music itself is still very much alive and well and much better off without all the white washing and profiteers.

As for the necessity of jail breaking, people tend to forget that key features like recording videos and using your phone as a WiFi hotspot for your laptop didn't exist in the first couple of releases of iOS.  But I agree that nowadays there's no real reason to do it aside from technical curiosity.

Maybe Apple needs to come up with an iOS that once hacked, puts a Trojan horse back into the hackers network

That sounds like the kind of thinking that just cost Apple half a billion dollars to settle a class action law suit.

I wonder how much the recent censorship YouTube has been doing played a part in this decision?

Nah, this is all about money.  Rogan gets more with an exclusive deal and Spotify attracts more subscribers.

It sounds a lot like what Howard Stern did with Sirius XM. If you want to listen to Howard you have to pay. Quite frankly I’m not familiar with this Joe Rogan character. What is  his schtick and who listens to him?
