So its becoming less of an option...surprising to the benefit of the rich...not the user paying Faff around with the language and message all you like, but rent/lease/asa a service etc are all being touted against a 'option' at a time where we are seeing destruction of ownership. This is not good for the average person and I am always surprised by the amount of people who are happy to take this or bootlick on the matter. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] PurpleFanatic 10 points 3 months ago (5 children) Plus we’ve had contract phones for decades without the manufacturer putting yet more dead switches in our devices… Do we really want more of this shit? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Cherry@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) The irony is no one even calls me anymore.

I think what they're saying is that every iPhone running iOS 27 will have the locks, and they will be able to be triggered by third parties. That is worrying. If you own the device outright, it should not have kill switches. I absolutely understand the point of them on the leased phone. They should not be on the phone that is paid for outright. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment load more comments (1 reply)
