  • Wouldn’t be the first time.

    • refusing usb-c for so long in order to push proprietary dongles until EU forced them
    • Killing headphone jack to push Bluetooth add-ons and other dongles.
    • Preventing people from taking pictures if their icloud is full even though their device isn’t to try to push upgrades to icloud storage.

    EDIT: To clarify, when I said preventing, I meant more of a temporary prevention. The issue is that if you open your camera app and your icloud storage is full, an iPhone will display an alert message stating icloud is full and present you with a button to add more storage, non-technical users would see this and hit this button taking them to the icloud upgrade page in settings. Now, if I’m taking a picture, it’s often a “now moment” kind of thing, and even getting a popup would be sufficient to lose that moment.

    And those still calling BS after my edit, I’ve personally seen this popup multiple times when I had my free 5gb plan on my iPhone 12, which was one of the reasons I switched to Android.
