Apple er på en række punkter smarte og nytænkende, men på endnu flere punkter er de til en skræmmende grad manipulerende.
Læs f.eks. denne patentansøgning: http://www.patentlyapple.com/p…-subsidizing-program.html
Læg især mærke til:
"In some implementations where the computer device is an iPhone or iPod, the user may be prompted to press a certain button or keypad key in order to confirm that they are paying attention to the ads being presented. In one implementation, the approaches for verifying user presence can be made progressively more aggressive if the user has failed a previous test. For example, after the user fails the test the first time, the subsequent tests can be made to appear more frequently or at varying times. As another example, the test(s) can be made more subtle so as to render them more difficult to perceive, such as by reducing the size of a message box on the screen, or by making an audio prompt more similar to the advertisement in which it is inserted. If the user fails the test in step 314 the method 300 can perform step 310 over again; that is, the entire advertisement can be played again while the operating system maintains the function(s) in a disabled state."
Med andre ord, så kan Apple låse din iPhone, iPod osv. indtil du giver tilkende at du har set deres reklame. For selvfølgelig er det ikke godt nok at du har betalt i dyre domme for deres produkt. Sådan har Apple altid været - du betaler dyrt, men de sidder stadig med den fuldkomne magt.
