Guess what? If you don't like the terms of use, do NOT sign up.

I'm so tired of the nanny state removing the responsibility from the user, who voluntarily signed up, for the user's poor decision making process. Read the agreement before joining. It is actually that simple.

Great suggestion. Please suggest another cloud service we can use to back up all our data on our iPhones.

WTF???? This is utter rubbish. The inability to access your music? Are the friggin insane? Did not they test this? Isn’t that what a beta testing program is for?

As a beta tester, I can answer this question: During the beta test, you don't ever back up your phone and restore it. You just update to the beta operating system. I bet almost no beta testers tried backing up and restoring their iPhones.

A modest proposal: An official way to jail break iOS devices. If you do it, you can install and run any software you want but you lose some things. Among these is access to iCloud and the official App Store. You get most of the built in Apple apps. You can still check stock prices and the weather but you can't save any information on iCloud. This would make older iOS devices a lot more useful rather than languishing in a draw somewhere. Think of it as a form of recycling.

As an iPhone user, explain why I should not be able to use my iPhone to mine cryptocurrency if I really want to. The GPU on the iPhone 13 Pro Max is pretty beefy. It should be able to mine a little bit at least. Seriously, how dare Apple tell me what I can and cannot do with any computer I own, even my iPhone?

I wonder if Apple did not fix the issues because its own software relied on the feature in some way? I have reported privacy security issues in the past and had them roundly ignored, sometimes for years. For example: No app should be able to access your contact list. Why? Because those contacts have not given permission to have their name, email and address sent to some random app developer. It's their personal information the app is requesting, not yours. Apple has many blind spots like this in their personal information security.
