What happened to daring to be different? What happened to having options? What happened to creativity?
Apple has never been about having options. They have always believed that the customer doesn’t know what they want. They enforce whatever they think is best, and provide no ways to change it.
Apple is for iToddlers. That’s how they view their customers: as mentally deficient children who must be hand held at all times, lest they run into traffic.
What is being forced here? SIM cards store absolutely no information these days except your phone number?
eSIM has been supported on Pixel and iPhone for years and security wise it is a win: https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/118/ give that a listen.
Additionally, there is support to swap eSIM to other devices Apple has implemented a method and Google is working to do so. Telecom compnaies in the US are already capable of doing so as well: https://www.androidpolice.com/android-14-dual-sim/
What choice did this actually take from you? You either want a phone number or you don’t? You either want that number on a device or you don’t? The choice still exist here. This post has solidified to me that Lemmy users literally know absolutely nothing about security and let bias interfere with educating themselves on this kind of thing.
