only time they have been on the consumer’s side was with regards to privacy, refusing to comply with the FBI and now this.

everything else they are pretty anti-consumer, off the top of my head

first to remove jack 3.5 (even though I don’t really care about this, others do.)
sticking to shitty lightning cable so they can sell overpriced cables
the charger thing with the EU
worst of all entirely against right to repair

  Bluetooth provides another attack vector for the convenience. There is already quite a list of known vulnerabilities. Yes, many of these get patched but as the open standard evolves, so do the hackers. You could turn it off entirely, plug in a cable & forget all that if all you wanted to do was use audio/video.

  like I said, I personally don’t care, but it’s a nice port, universally available and it’s nice to have choice for customers.

To be fair, those first three points fall squarely under that “charging cable/accessory situations” exception. With Apple, it turns out that’s a pretty broad exception.
