For a premium €1000+ phone I think such a service could be included in the price. It’s not for free.
Maybe it would mean marginally lower profits for Apple, but it would not be free. It is a service that would be bring value to their products and make them more competitive on the market.
I would rather use smoke signals than use Elon’s sattelites.
This should stay free. Apple should swallow the cost.
It’s one of those things fairly unique on iPhone and it would just be bad optics to say “oh, sorry. your phone will have this life-saving software disable if you don’t pay up”
I just dont support fascists and his shitty electric cars tend to spontaneously combust so what’s your point?
