    I’m sorry I have only one upvote for you. I wish I could give you way more. You’re right about this overall!

    I will mention though if you already own a device you paid for and it’s not making Apple any money you might as well keep it and use it until the end of its usable life.

      Aw thanks!

      It seems what it’s logical to me. I’m seeing a constant battle between Americans and Europeans that does not help any of us in both sides of the pond.

      I totally agree with you about the devices. I’m still an Apple user and it’s not easy for me right now to get rid of my Apple devices.

      But I do have a backup phone. Just because Apple is one of the Companies supporting Trump and as an European, I know US Companies have kill switches on their tech.

      What if Trump says to start revoking accesses in Europe? Then my devices are just paper weight.

      I have an iPhone Air, but also have a phone flashed with Sailfish OS.

      Have both M1 Mac mini and Air. But will install Asahi Linux instead of using MacOS.

      But it’s the voting with the wallet that matters. Even if you can’t get rid of everything American. If you only can cancel 1 subscription, it’s worth it.

      In the end of the day, you are the ultimate person with the last word and decide (or not) to what to do in this matter.

      My goal is to not influence in any way. It’s just a simple suggestion.
