Hmm... so IIUC this reference to AMI was meant to talk about Apple's
choice to drop the old audio-jack from their devices?

That's not the kind of control I was talking about.  The problem I see
with Apple's control over their devices is that they control the devices
they sell even *after* selling them (e.g. by controlling which software
gets to run on it).
