Because apple has to change terms of service to permit this

But also this is a terrible argument. As a frog i will not wait until i am boiled to raise complaints.

Apple's ToS change with every iOS release. You have to accept to continue. Do you ever read them?

No, because they are void where I live.

(More specifically, in the EU any terms/conditions imposed after sale of goods are non-enforcable).

Of course, you are not forced to accept the new ToS, but you also don’t get the newest iOS Version if you decline.

So sooner or later, you probably need to accept them if you don’t want to be stuck with iOS 14 for the next 7 years.

I used to read the terms when I was younger and even more stupid than today.

I fully expect someone else does it now and I even think there exist GitHub repos or some SaaS or something (some tldr for eulas?)

(Today I more or less consequently don't read thenm because 1. as a European they aren't valid if they go beyond what European law allows 2. nobody can be expected to read those anyway and if I admit to reading them I just make my life harder.)
