Not like you “own” your phone anyway. Everything involved in making it work is licensed rather than sold, plus you need a new one after three years. Sure, I “own” it, and can toss it in the lake and it’s my business, but not owning it must not be much different than leasing a car. Doesn’t seem to be a big deal in this case.

“Not like you “own” your phone anyway.”

Sorry, incorrect.
I absolutely own my 20 yr old 3G cell phone. Plus the battery is detachable to disable tracking.
Which is a big reason why 3G is being eliminated.

Yup. Most will like this idea, cheaper payments and newest, brightest tech on demand. In our circle we are the only ones who ‘own’ our phones. They are old and slow like us, but get the job done. This is just more fear porn for the masses.
