oh hell no. no lame. I like mine but will not be locked into their brand storage, no technical reason for this 

Read the restrictions list - most of the features dropped for unsupported (non-branded or non-supported) drives aren't things most people use.

The supported drive list tends to be pretty extensive. Best not to panic until the new models drop and we can see that list.

(In Canada) - the change in upgrade pricing across the board came as an unpleasant surprise. Example: it was $250 CAD to go from 16GB to 24GB - it's now $300. That change happened on all models.

Check with your local independent reseller (hi there!) AFAIK they can still offer the 2 and 3 year up front AC+. You can extend those with the subscription if you want.

AS @Jrobards pointed out the pre-paid has a lower cost than the subscription. 10-15% depending on the device and term.

@Dmskalnm - AC+ extends the manufacturers warranty and adds accidental damage coverage. Typically it's only usable for things beyond minor damage. It's like the warranty on your car plus collision insurance.

People who think apple is some holy company are delusional. On Tuesday we got news they knowingly source blood minerals, and now this. 

You may want to re-read the articles - the real target are the mineral launderers and Apple has taken action.

"The DRC's lawyers believe that Apple knowingly sourced minerals from these mines. The company has consistently denied the allegations. However, in December it told suppliers to stop sourcing 3TG minerals from both the DRC and Rwanda, citing concerns that "independent auditors or industry certification mechanisms can no longer perform the due diligence required to meet our high standards"."
