Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

    In what way is the hardware locked down? Is this something new with the M chips?

      Everything except the Mac line has a locked boot process. So your iPhone or iPad must run the latest iOS, must have an Apple ID, must source apps from Apple, and Apple has gotten so good at securing their devices that its basically killed hobbyist jailbreaking.

      Anything you do on these multi thousand dollar devices is only because Apple allows you to— reluctantly, I might add.
