You apparently never wrote an app. You can't integrate Spotify with Siri like Apple Music, there are tons of stuff were Apple apps have favorable integration other apps only can dream off. Heck you can't even change the default browser. There are a lot of stuff restricted to "Apple only", the NFC chip is walled off (no payment apps, because Apple Pay). Apple is really very anti competitive when they launch something themselves. There are plenty of restrictions on free or paid apps and a whole slur of rules favouring Apple.

Bitcoin peak mining:
60.000.000 TH/s

Best miner:
1TH/s = 0.1kW

So
6TWh*365*24 = 52560TWh/year = 52.560.000.000kWh/year bestcase.

And that is not including cooling, other shitcoin or anything else.

So bitcoin used, at peak, same as the 48’th country out of 219 countries.

I seriously doubt porn and internet games use more power than bitcoin.
