Was thinking that too, although there are some caveats, you need to at least log into the store to download apps as it stands right now. I think you can log out after installing them, but still. Also using FaceTime or iMessage require accounts, when Apple otherwise could have it set up to just register with the phone number only, have no account, and just be ephemeral to that specific device. (But then at that point, they might as well just follow the IMS video call standard that is cross-platform and do away with FaceTime altogether, and the mobile industry should figure out the SMS replacement to then eliminate iMessage.)

About damn time. They should have never been allowed to grow so big in so many markets to become the only player. They’re literally mentally crippling a generation of youngs that now don’t know how technology works. I remember a young coworker at a technology company a while back remarking, upon finding another coworker’s Android phone, “Oh wait, this is Android? Well, we’re going to need a hacker to figure out how to use that thing,” and he sat it back down, defeated. Wat.

I hated the whole damn reaction from the beginning, and young me became quickly jaded about the world watching the brainwash in America happen so fast. Our governments, especially the American government, don’t seem to operate in the best interests of their people. In America, we don’t care about our own, why would we ever care about others?
