You realize that no one has to buy Bluetooth headphones from Apple right?

You realize that Apple offers Apple only features for all its stuff, therefore pushing its own products very hard? :-)

[scarface74]

You’re free to choose not to have Apple features and get regular old headphones.

Individual responsibility does not work against $3tn corporations.

I personally choose to not buy any Apple product, but that's not going to bring the demise of Apple.

So why does your personal choice have to bring the end of Apple?

Did Apple get to be 3 trillion by forcing people to buy stuff or buying selling things that people were willing to give it money for?

But by you choosing to not buy Apple Bluetooth headphones you have a worse experience.

A combination of the two. Sure, they had some legitimately good products to start with. So did Standard Oil.

Standard Oil was commodity that people needed. No one is forced to buy Apple products. It’s not even what the majority of people own.
