how do you reckon?

only time they have been on the consumer’s side was with regards to privacy, refusing to comply with the FBI and now this.

everything else they are pretty anti-consumer, off the top of my head

first to remove jack 3.5 (even though I don’t really care about this, others do.)
sticking to shitty lightning cable so they can sell overpriced cables
the charger thing with the EU
worst of all entirely against right to repair

To be fair, those first three points fall squarely under that “charging cable/accessory situations” exception. With Apple, it turns out that’s a pretty broad exception.
