If Apple’s devices were restricted to the over 18 crowd, then perhaps, there could be a valid discussion here. But in addition to Apple maintaining the security of their bottom line (which they have every right to do as a revenue-generating company), it appears most of their decisions are ensuring the safety of a key and constantly growing market…the under 18 audience.

Unfortunately, we live in a very litigious society, where parents and politicians are more apt to blame and sue Apple (and like companies) for making direct and indirect decisions that may allow “strangers” to freely walk into their front doors.

Adults know what they are getting themselves into when making a product purchase. If you are not happy with the advertised experience, use your hard earned dollars to invest in a product that does meet your needs. Apple did not force you to buy into their products and ecosystem.

This argument has been raised before and it will come up again in the future.

Wow! This flies in the face of what Steve used to always say, “It just works!”

Well, if the govt has their way, no it won’t, Steve.
