      There’s no shortage of other hardware options. I can’t buy that the iPhone hardware not being open is what’s holding Ubuntu Touch back.

        But if someone already owns an iPhone he should not need to buy another hardware option.

        Not that he needs to justify what he does with his property to the manufacturer or randos on the internet.
