Hi, Ricardo.
I am sorry to contradict but, respectfully, your examples aren’t
analogous at all. What Apple is doing here is changing the
functionality of already released products by reducing the space
available on already released devices and, incidentally, consuming
user bandwidth without user permission. Your examples all concern the
addition of new functionality or changes to servers owned by companies
providing that functionality. That is, if I want whatever new feature,
or if I want to use a server owned by a company, it is more than
reasonable to demand that I use products x y and z. It’s not only
reasonable but may well be necessary, the results of trying to read
fingerprints without a fingerprint sensor are probably not going to be
very good, and the results of trying to use an LTE network without an
LTE radio are probably going to be just as bad. What people want here
is simply to continue using what they are using now without any
interference. That, in my view, is more than reasonable, and it is the
first time I’ve seen this sort of attempt to impair present
functionality by a company. Keep in mind that people are using Word
Perfect 5.1 and DOS 6.22 to this day. Of course they have no support,
and of course they can’t use functionality on other machines which
requires newer software, but what they’ve always used works as it
always has.
