    No iPhone user actually owns their device. Apple is so controlling that it dictates what the user experience should be. If Apple wants to turn every iPhone on the planet into a brick through an update, it simply has the technical power to do so.

      They don’t even need to push an update, they just need to send a kill command from their activation servers.

        Google Pixel is a ADP phone, you can unlock bootloader install other OS and lock bootloader again to maintain Android security model and completely vanish Google’s power over your device the same isn’t true about iPhones.
