> I own every Apple device there is.

I'm not sure anyone really ever "owned" an apple device, at least since the first iPhone or so, it seems to me we kind of redefined what ownership means. Apple owns every device they make, you are allowed to pay for limited and revokable usage rights. You have very limited knowledge or control over most of its proprietary hardware and software. Apple, the phone carrier, the apps you install, all have more, varying control over your device. The kind of freedom Stallman talked about for example has been lost for a very long time.



Maybe? I certainly still have more control than on windows.


Last I checked, you were still able to install apps on Windows from sources other than the Windows store.
