How soon will it be when Apple has removed all the industry standard
basic hardware functionality of the iPhone making the iPhone a sealed
almost useless brick unless you pay subscriptions for everything that
Android users currently attain for free, e.g., a. FM radios (which
only add to the functionality of Internet radio) b. Wired headphones
(which only add to the functionality of bluetooth) c. Portable
storage (which only add to the functionality of cloud storage) d.
USB-C chargers in the box (which only add to the functionality of
wireless charging) e. Laughably puny stone-age battery technology
(further degraded by OS updates) etc.
Why is it iKooks are shockingly ignorant of Apple's (brilliant)
strategy?
Only the iKooks are oblivious Apple's strategy is to inexorably delete
basic standard hardware functionality so that you have to buy it back.
Preferably by never-ending subscriptions...

If Apple actually does that chances are others will follow shortly once
they see the profits Apple is making and knowing the consumer has no
other choice.
