What do you mean by hating their business model? Genuinely curious. I don't like Google collecting and selling my personal data so I don't use their products. What is your reasoning for "hating" Apple's model? Seems pretty identical to other companies except they don't collect and sell user data.

They do not support open protocols, they do not support interoperablity, they want to much control over the device I supposedly bought from them..

I have to use their App Store, they Operating System, their Backup (iCloud), their Desktop App (iTunes) etc etc etc

There is no F-Driod, for iOS for example.

I hate walled gardens.

They may not sell it, but they are certainly collecting data about you...
