You haven't heard anything bc no one gave a shit bc they avoided it possibly? Comparing ONE of Motorola models amongst all the other androids available with apples iPhone is kinda silly. You can argue this point when half of androids pull this shit.

You think this is the reason apple did this and not to force you to spend an outrageous amount of $$$ on proprietary garbage? You really think apple gives a shit about you listening to an encrypted britney spears?

They include the analog escape hatch right in the box. It's not going anywhere. Remember, Apple was the one who pushed back against RIAA encryption crap in the first place, give them some credit.

(edit: actually, re-reading your post I'm not sure we disagree O:-) Yeah, you'll always be able to snip the earbud/speaker connectors and wire them back to an AUX input, it's so simple it's really not something anyone can lock down.)

What the fuck is there to defend? It was a business choice. The only whiff is the wireless charging.

It's okay to be loyal to a company or product. But when they want you to jump off a cliff..... That's drinking the kool-aid

I used to be a big apple supporter. But the company is rapidly declining. All my stuff that used to work flawlessly is now buggy and slow. I cringe a little every time I run an update. iTunes for example just doesn't work anymore on any platform. And don't get me started on how much I hate the stupid watch. Glad I never fell for buying it.
