active devices =\= iphones. You should probably exclude the users in china (Pretty sure that that number is significant) and even after that, you are telling me that 1/7 people in the world use an iphone? Also, thought USP for apple was that it cared about your privacy, whatever happened to that?

I mean, are we going to provide a platform and help popularize charlatans and conmen making tall claims? This way, they win even when they fail.

You are all wrong. As much I want apple to crash and burn, Indians (living in India) love it and consider it as status symbol (dont ask me why, damned if I know) Median income is not a good metric, on average someone IT need to save 2-6 months salary to get new iphone and many are stupid enough to do just that, and we have lot of people in IT.

In not so old days to replace battery you needed no tools or in a worst case a screw driver. Now you need special tool, other crap and 30 minutes - what a waste.

Also in the not so old days, mobile phones were as big as bricks, it is the cost of miniaturization, deal with it.

I understand how that sounded like a good idea in your head, trust me, it is a slippery slope. News and ad board campaigns to teach the public is a better solution imho.

I recently started getting pop-ups from YouTube, requesting me to sign-up for an "Ad-free YouTube experience." You guessed it right; yes, they wanted a credit card while signing up.

Then I later learnt that to get an enhanced YouTube, (one in which video remains visible even as I scroll through comments), I needed to provide a credit card.

Google are becoming greedy, and I don not like it very much.

yeah, these fucking corporates, bothering me with ads while I am using their service for free...

Also, I am kinda scared how easy it is to infect libraries. We were lucky this time, people start enforcing package locks and npm audits. Make that shit mandatory.
