You vote with your dollars, and if you care what Apple is doing, you tell them.

Buy a non-Apple system, write to Apple, and let them know why you're not longer purchasing Apple equipment.

It's really simple, if you want companies to change, you stop giving them money (and you tell them why if you're no longer doing so). Giving them money tells them they're doing everything just right.

this. and say goodbye to Apple, they will never do it

Unless you kidnap each one of their kids, I doubt they will ever do. And they have all the right to keep it closed. The solution is to support the open source alternatives until they become so good we will never need proprietary software anymore. And I think this will happen way sooner that we think

Nothing really, unless you changed laws around copyright so drastically that closed source isn't financially sustainable. Which isnt possible.

I don't think it would happen unless all the fans of the brand start understanding the importance of opensource. But knowing Apple, they would go bankrupt before they bend to the demands of what people actually want. As long as their customers applaud or defend every dumb decision Apple has made, they will never change.

I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.

Way much better to continue building linux mobile based os.

Ewwww why would we want their privacy pillaging code. Better to just steer all custom to healthier fairer alternatives.

So that you can exercise your four freedoms to remove all the bad stuff and keep the good stuff.
