Right.. so we have reports from people who experienced the failure within the first hours, and we have reports of the failure happens after someone simulated 5 years of use. That's why I'm skeptical that "the units that are impacted exhibit the defect quickly" as Apple claims.

you're misunderstanding

Here's a real world example: Apple forced Patreon to give Apple 30% of the money that supporters wanted to give to artists, under threat of having their app removed entirely from Apple devices. https://news.patreon.com/artic...

Why is Apple entitled to anything here? Patreon doesn't want to use Apple's services but they have no choice.

If I sell any kind of product that is used on or supported by a mobile device, I really have no choice but to support Apple users. I can't be a bank or a retailer or a streaming provider or all kinds of things unless I support Apple users. Look at how many people swear they will never buy a GM automobile because they don't support Apple Carplay. So this isn't limited to developers, its Apple wedging themselves in between my customers and my business, whatever that business might be.
It's a new kind of problem that doesn't easily work in analogies or parallels to older scenarios. I'm glad that the EU and now the US to some degree are coming up with new solutions for it.

in what legal way would a phone call be any different than an MFA challenge as far as impacting whether a phone could be subpoenaed? both involve another side with exhaustive logging. neither provide your employer with any access to your device. if you use your phone to place a call, you've exposed it just as much as using it to do MFA imho
