“The moral of the story, according to Kurtis, is not to cast blame on Apple. This was an incident with Apple at the forefront, but the same thing can happen with any other companies the dabbles in cloud services like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Sony, Samsung, and countless others.”
Obviously iMore would take care to emphasise that it’s not Apple’s fault, being a pro-Apple site. It could happen to others with other companies. But since we’re doing this in a case by case basis, the way Apple treated one of their long-term faithful customers is disgraceful. There is no excuse for such dismissive attitudes towards their customers.
What iMore didn’t mention was that Luke Kurtis also mentioned this:
“I’m not making any hasty decisions, but when it comes time to upgrade my phone, I’m likely going to try out an Android. After what’s happened with Apple, I want to engage in a bit of digital independence and not tie myself to a single company’s ecosystem. And perhaps after 11 years of using an iPhone, that’s not the worst idea.”
This is the full article by Kurtis himself:
