> Quick way to lose your luxury and loyal customers IMO.

And where are those customers going to go? The only other option is Android, which is even more bloated and ad infested. Even if Apple is worse now than they were before, there still isn't a better option available.

You can't lose customers if there's no alternative. In the modern era, the average person can't simply not have a phone. It's a necessity, and when a product is necessary for daily life, you lose your options.

No, nothing will come of this. People will be mad and hate Apple more, but consequence is not possible here.
