    Now they’re not really any better than Android phones in terms of apps and being able to bypass the firewall.

    I don’t know about the Android capabilities in China but this move makes it seem to me that IPhone has now almost become a paperweight with in-built clock, messaging/phoning and heavily restricted browser.
