This argument falls apart since there is no real freedom of choice, and the importance of smartphones in our lives.

People are becoming more aware that they don’t want a corporation in control over this essential near ubiquitous technology.

I see no good reason to follow a “it’s a corporation they can do whatever they want” mindset

Who is forcing you to exclusively buy into Apple’s ecosystem?

Are other competitors banned where you live?

Absolute, unmitigated bullshit. You are not forced to buy an iPhone by anyone, ever.

> “it’s a corporation they can do whatever they want”

Then perhaps you should make the absolutely tiny mental leap to "And I don't have to buy if it doesn't work the way I want it to."

Apple has 32% market share - pretending you don't have any other choice is utterly fallacious nonsense.
