    I’m upset when the government wastes resources on a big lawsuit that it’s absolutely going to lose, because it’s weak on the law and inept on the not-that-complicated technological issues. I also question the leadership of an organization that, in the name of consumer protection, decides to target a product with ludicrously high customer satisfaction ratings. Consumers love their iPhones, perhaps more so than literally any other product they own. What a monumentally stupid target.

      “I like my iPhone so any criticism of Apple has to be unjustified”

      Your reasoning is weak, do better.

      Yikes. You don’t have to defend Apple in public my man, they have lawyers for that.

      You do realize that you can like iPhones and Apple products while recognizing that a lot of Apple’s business practices seriously hurt consumers, right?

      I also don’t think they’ll lose. They have a ton of evidence of intentionally anti-competitive behavior from Apple.

      Heroin has a pretty high user satisfaction rating too. You can’t use customer satisfaction as a metric for legality.
