    • The Freedom Illusion

      The Freedom Illusion
      Feb 20 2026
      This episode of The Cupertino Chronicles digs into how much "freedom" users really have in today’s tightly controlled tech ecosystems. Justin unpacks Apple’s rapid-fire iOS 26.3 and 26.4 moves, from the new Android migration tool and default Stolen Device Protection to encrypted RCS testing, AI-powered Apple Music playlists, and upgraded video podcasts. He then shifts to Verizon’s controversial new 35-day unlock delay and 365-day prepaid policy after an FCC waiver, showing how carriers quietly add friction right at the moment customers are most likely to switch. Finally, he ties it all together with the EU’s Digital Markets Act, U.S. regulatory trends, and Apple’s decision to build an easy, global exit ramp to Android while simultaneously deepening its ecosystem lock-in. The result is a clear-eyed look at designed freedom versus designed friction—and what those trade-offs really mean for anyone trying to switch phones, platforms, or carriers.
