Dear Matthew Quinn,
Thanks for your eye opening article and more so for also clearly telling that Apple is not the only culprit.
My personal lifetime experience that all businesses in this world are non-ethical. All fast foods, drinks, food stuff are unhealthy and laden with chemicals. Theoretically the SMS Services between cellphones do not cost extra to service providers, unless exchange of SMSs takes place internationally; but we have to pay for sending SMS.
I have experienced obsolescence in desktops, laptops and notebook computers.
I don’t think that there will ever be respite from lack of ethics in businesses whatever they may be.
