There are cheaper phones. Apple commands that premium partly because they are trusted by users to have data on the platform and don’t take lowlife approach to exploiting it.Congratulations for demonstrating perfectly why this is anticompetitive.
I notice you don't have to grant permission for Apple to track you 24/7.
The platform by the way, is the business. No third party has any rights that supersede the direction that the platform owner sets for the platform. Can you imagine a third party lens maker whinging that Canon or Nikon or Sony is “anticompetitive”? They’d get laughed out of town.
