So if in a year a product comes out that I really want to use, the product really wants to support apple, but apple says "no we're not going to allow you". I have to create more ewaste by going and buying an android phone instead?

Is this what we're advocating for? More consumption of rare resources?

No, you know that the app might not be available for your new iPhone and accept the fact when you buy it or you just do not buy an iPhone and buy Android/LibreOS/etc instead.

Why do I know that? How do I know if something isn't going to be accessible in the future?

Either way, say I made a mistake and now I'm using Apple. Do you suggest everyone in that same condition go make more waste by buying new phones?
