Will you still buy Apple Iphone after it has officially agreed to block you for stupid reasons?

I heard about that and to be honest people are going gaga over Apple its so overrated. I have an iPod but that's only because I got it as a present, I am happy with my mid-range mobile phone. I also enjoy taking pictures on my Canon and Nikon cameras and wouldn't trade them.

People are getting to reliant on 'all in one' technology, I understand it means your phone will do it all and you will have less to carry around but Apple are taking over now. If you don't have an iPhone people are like but why? People just follow too blindly in my opinion.

So for me Apple products don't mean a thing to me, I buy what I like regardless of brand name.

I like never liked Apple... Their products are overpriced. They fear competition. They pretend to be innovative but yet they create stupid patents to prevent other companies from being original. Example: the simple rounded corners of the Galaxy S3. Will Apple sue every company that makes rounded corner mobile phones? With the recent court case in which Samsung had to pay $1.05 billion to Apple, the latter had proved that it indeed FEAR his toughest competitor and is greedy for money. Apple is now being hated and if this new patent is really applied, it will be hated even more...

The link to the source is good but it would have been better if you gave a summary of what actually Apple plans to block on the iPhone so people don't have to read the source to find what you're talking about.

Apple, Inc., was recently granted a patent enabling the company to wirelessly disable the camera function on specific iPhones in certain locations

for example to disable noise and/or light emanating from wireless devices (such as at a movie theater), for preventing wireless devices from communicating with other wireless devices (such as in academic settings), and for forcing certain electronic devices to enter “sleep mode” when entering a sensitive area.

I don't think this policy will be restricted to iPhones but would be applied to all other mobile phones in the future. By getting one of the biggest smartphone vendor to comply, the government is already winning in taking out freedom from its citizens. The biggest problem is that Apply is going with the flow and that would have severe consequences because all other mobile phone companies will have to comply with those regulations afterwards, otherwise they won't be allowed to operate.

I guess this is the start of dictatorship...
