Still cannot believe Apple did this. Pretty massive endeavour. And of course not a single positive word uttered by the right to repair hypocrites and trolls. Just more criticism and complaining.  

So what I’m understanding from all these accusations and requirements, is that Apple is not allowed to design its own products anymore, or provide a good experience to customers. Amazing how of all the problems in the world, Apple making products ppl love to use is the one that needs to be eliminated. 

It's hilarious that anyone believed for a second that "right to repair" extremists would be satisfied or happy about anything. It's all a farce. These people are by nature anti-Apple trolls to begin with, so they'd never give Apple a shred of credit no matter how far Apple goes. 

What a fucking mess. Are companies actually allowed to design their own products anymore? These changes will all be a net negative for 99% of iPhone/iOS users. Jesus. The entire fucking reason the iPhone and App Store became so insanely popular is bc most people DON'T want to download random shit from the internet and screw up their phones. They DON'T want to deal with shitty 3rd party payment forms and systems. People engage so much with iOS products because they TRUST them, and that trust was not built up easily. Now these morons want to tear that all down for the sake of "competition". 

Damn, Montreal maps is gorgeous now. Highways have all the proper lane markings. Landmarks beautifully rendered. Amazing. Apple maps has come SUCH a long way and objectively now surpassed Google maps in several capacities.  Definitely better in navigation, performance, detail, looks, UI. Google obviously still has an edge in POI and user data, and will for a while, but Apple maps is at a level where I don’t need to touch Google anymore.
