## Resource

Apple’s secret 'Restricted Mode' is giving major corporate ick like Okay, wait because this is actually wild. 💀 Leaked code shows Apple is trying to brick your phone over-the-air if you fall behind on payments, and it’s giving dystopia. Steve Jobs spent his entire life trying to make phones aesthetic and insanely great, and the corporate bean-counters are really out here trying to turn your $1,200 iPhone into a digital collections agent. He would literally wipe the entire dev team if he saw this. Chat, we are officially in a simulation."
