Would it be more ethical if they could but never did release this feature? Because that is essentially what you are advocating for, considering no public company could foot the bill in perpetuity.

The way this probably plays out is by the time the 2 years is up or shortly thereafter this will be subsidized by the gov.

Apple is leaving quite a bit of money on the table here, while simultaneously spending quite a bit. Wipe the entitlement from your eyes and recognize this for what it is.

iPhone margins do allow for it.

Sir, let me very calmly ask you to please behave better in discussions here.

So you can call certain behavior despicable but I can't call your behavior entitled. That sounds pretty entitled.

The body of the missing person had been found after 4 days of search. She still held her Phone in her hand displaying the Message: "Please update your credit card information to purchase this subscription. The free usage ended 6 days ago".
