Buying one through Apple online at the moment, but it’s roughly $1300 with taxes. So I have myself a little nervous at the cost. Thanks in advance for answering. 👍

    How the fuck is this a thing?

    Money

    How are they allowed to control how I use my data?

    You gave them permission when you signed the deal. Pretty simple.

    It’s pretty common to buy phones from electronics stores in Denmark, without a carrier attached. So locking down the phone isn’t as common here, but that doesn’t mean that ISPs aren’t still up to no good. I heard about one company that would look at the IP header and if your packets came with a TTL of 63 or less, then the ISP would know that you had a tethered connection and would count the traffic differently.
