The reason why you should not have an iPhone. It is a walled garden and Apple is the ministry of truth in this walled garden.
Dunno.. this feels like the first genuinely good news I've heard apple linked with in a long while.
How is censorship good news? Yeah this is all about Andrew Tate, but that is not the point. The point is that censorship is bad and censorship can occur on centralized app stores were it is done for "politicial" reasons.
I don't care if you think Andrew Tate is evil, it is the action of banning an app because "we do not like you". That is the problem and Apple users have no choice since they are in a walled garden.
Apple users do have a choice. Apple isn't the only game in town. If those users disagree with Apple and want Tate shit, they can use a different platform.
So much choice! The can pick Android or .. Android. Or Android.
