> Historically, Apple has come down, hard, on the side of "Your device is your device, and where that assumption is violated, we will work to protect it."
On the contrary, if my iPhone really was "my device" then Apple wouldn't make it so hard to sideload software (it was literally impossible to sideload without building software
from source yourself until very recently) - and they'd let me change my default browser/maps/contacts/email apps too.
Apple's stance on privacy is something that really doesn't cost them anything but from which they gain massively by using it as a bludgeon against Google and Android (and Facebook...).
