    Unfortunately it’s concept which were in the past.Nowdays u are not owning ur device,you are actually just renting it. Unless new laws are passed that will prohibit such a business model.

      I do own my devices.

      Companies want you to not own the devices, and rent them through a subscription model,
      however I refuse to do that.

      If you do that / fall for that,
      then you’re part of the problem making such a future a reality…
