I know the feeling, my Nokia 3360 still works 25 years later. Also doubles as a blunt weapon. No config necessary.

Cool, you can just use your iPhone in the stock config. The proposal to enable people to root their own devices, or bring their own app stores doesn't mean you have to partake. It just means a 3 trillion dollar monopoly has a tiny bit less control over a huge chunk of the mobile phone market. And meanwhile it means the rest of us who do want that freedom can have it.
