So I posted this on Apple "Discussion" forums but it seems that discussion doesn't cover anything but being positive about Apple and they took it down about as fast as it went up. Censorship by Apple... or maybe I just fell foul of their community guidelines?
Anyway, I have a problem with AirPods / Apple, but Apple won't listen. I have:
This is classic Apple in the post-iPhone era: money and market dominance no matter the cost. Disabling (in my view) Find My for AirPods on the Mac is at worst a deliberate and cynical attempt to get me (and others) to buy a new iPhone, and at best an arrogant assumption that nobody could need this feature because "everyone has an iPhone". Like many others, I love my mac, but don't don't want or need an iPhone. I have no intention of replacing my perfectly functional (and better than iPhone in my view) Pixel phone at significant cost, in order to register new AirPods on the FindMy network. Apple however are pushing me (and presumably many others) to do exactly this.
I know that there's no fix here, but Apple feedback process is pointless and my complaint has been ignored. Hoping that others searching for this issue will come across this thread, and maybe naively hoping that others who don't have this issue will agree with me and maybe even pick up enough interest to get Apple to pick this up and stop misbehaving?
Cheers all!
