Better yet, we should demand to open source their firmware if they want our trust, after all of this.
If Apple open-sourced their code, how long do you think it will take before a dozen cheap chinese knock-offs appear with an almost exact replica of iOS? Thus killing off a huge market share for them. At least at the moment, the user experience of those cheap knock-offs is vastly inferior.
Although a nice sentiment, but too far fetch from reality.
