    iPhone users missing out on getting wrongly banned and a huge compensation

    Thanks Apple

    That's what you get for using an inferior device. Apple has been rotting since SJ passed.
    Apple has been rotting since they removed the charger when you buy an iPhone

    And all the android phone brands started following that bad example and make it a standard within the smartphone industry

    I got a charger from buying iPad and I used it to charge my iPhone

    What a disgrace Apple
    Samsung did it first, like all things Apple does...
    Except that ridiculous Activation Lock. You try purchasing a lot of 50 devices and contacting the original owners. Spend a couple grand and Apple still owns it.

    That I have no idea about, never bought more than 5 devices at once. Imagine going for a family plan and saying I need 50 lines lol.

    Apple was the first major brand to do so (I googled to confirm), Samsung actually tried using that against Apple by telling customers that their phones still come with charger until Samsung realize that more money is made by removing the charger and Samsung followed Apple soon after

    I resell, among other things. The devices we acquire are legit, but not all previous owners sign out and prepare them properly. Which means we end up with an uncooperative Apple Care worker, and an expensive paperweight.

    Oh that happens with android too if you buy on a payment plan and someone stopped paying. I dunno it has a positive side regarding selling stolen devices. Happens a lot in south America

    I know but sometimes they don't get blacklisted until you try to claim ownership. They assume its on someones drawer forever.

    Apple created a brand. Idk bout first world guys for some reason everyone have iphones in murica.

    But here in 3rd world countries apple is seen as classy and rich. So wannabies try to get apple at any cost, even with loans. Having an apple phones makes you instantly cool, and the feeling when everyone asks you to take a photo of them gives a nice feeling to iphone users.

    The same guys will cry when they have to pay for the games and apps that we get for free. Lol.

    As a app dev I hate ios since they restrict devs by requiring to own a mac (is there a work around for that)?

    That's just a matter of working with Apple and the authorities. The majority of what we buy is sold at auction, repurposed from offices and government organizations. It's important to stay as legit as possible if you want to stay in business.

    Remember the compensation is just a digital good conjured out of thin air by the game developer

    It cost nothing to them actually like how a central bank prints money by typing more zeros in the banking system

    The value is actually perceived by the players who play the game and conferred upon it a monetary value in their mind

    Demanding for compensation is the 8th sin.

    Yeah I got no idea about buying devices for resell. I bought a used one online back in the day, black listed was the least of my worries. It was Frankenstein iphone. Black listed, bunch of spare parts that triggeted security issues like the finger print button rofl.

    Not really. Everything costs money in the game. Someone designs it, someone balances it when it goes too far, someone works to sell it, on and on. That's the misconception, but everything has a value.

    especially for my account, this compensation is gonna really help me, especially getting some 7*s up. This is exactly what I needed and I will be receiving it too. It's great

    Why would you try to buy a bunch of devices second hand from a person without knowing or ensuring there's no lock on the phone?

    Sounds like the LITERAL reason Activation Lock exists.
