Apple's most valuable intangible asset isn't its patents or copyrights - it's an army of people who believe that using products from a $2.89 trillion multinational makes them members of an oppressed religious minority whose identity is coterminal with the interests of Apple's shareholders.

@[email protected] I would love to see your analysis about Apple refusing to put SD storage slots on their products, and then switching iOS Photo's default mode to store images as (much larger) movies... thus forcing many users at inopportune times to use iCloud (before E2E encryption was a feature).

BTW, I use an older iPhone and #iOS constantly nags that its not fully setup because I don't have #iCloud linked to it.
