Ok, "digital movies as most consumers know them". People aren't buying DRM-free digital movies. (Technically, DVDs and Blu-rays are digital as well, but we don't call them that)

Doesn't matter if you are talking about downsides. Digital movie has no downsides, DRM on other hands has as we all know. Only valid complaint here is DRM and it always was. We were warned but nobody listened.

One under-appreciated limitation on digital movies is geographic restrictions. You buy a bunch of iTunes movies in Canada, then move to the USA, and you no longer have the right to watch them anymore due to licensing.

Another significant issue with digital movies and games is the inability to resell the content once you're done with it. You can sell your DVDs at a yard sale or on eBay but not your iTunes movies. IMO, our competition law should require vendors to allow re-sale of digital goods. Big benefit for consumers.

That is feature of DRM and has nothing to do with digital movies. If you bought DRM locked product that you are not really an owner. You can play video file anywhere in the world and any time.

Second issue is if you bought it trough a service and keept it there, then you definitely not the owner...

Most people aren't offended when someone accidently uses the wrong pronoun. They do get offended when people purposefully use the wrong pronoun to intentionally offend. Pretending that those are the same thing is part of the problem.

After all that he said, this is what you decided to comment on? I guess he was right on the money.

Apple's warranty in the EU is not any longer.

The 2-year "warranty" required by law is not the same and only covers defects existing from the time of purchase, and after 6 months the burden of proof falls to the customer. In practice I've never seen this play out because almost all manufacturers (with Apple being an exception) offer 2-3 years of full warranty here either way.

Not true, there is second year of warranty that needs to be given to customer by store where device was purchased. Only difference is you will ask you for receipt. (I work in Apple authorised repair store)

A lot of people come to my repair shop with Apple devices. Many of them have “mushy” feeling UCB-C ports that don’t click when inserting a cable. It seems that Lightning port is vastly superior.

I wanted to give the iPhone another try. But the web is just so so unusable. No way to install adblockers or real extensions in general. No push notifications. Just one single engine.

I use a AdGuard Pro, StopTheMadness and a DDG for years now. I don’t miss anything as far as I know. You also have a choice of “different” browser that might offer more.
