On: iPhones 'disabled' if Apple detects third-party re...

It would be definitely illegal in France which has a law against planned obsolescence - but EU doesn't have it yet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence#Regulat...

Only if it was "planned obsolescence" and not "a security measure".

I don't think you can excuse something as "a security measure" when it is clear that it is not a reasonable security measure and the reason for disabling device is something else.

Anyway, this confirms that I'll stay away from Apple stuff.
