Now now members come one no reason to fight its just a fact of live all
companies have to make money one way or another. Apple has done that because
there are many free accounts and they realize they aren’t making money off
those so they have to find a way to get their money.
The same goes for all other companies think about it some give you a free trial
maybe 15 days maybe 30 but eventually you have to pay to use the product. The
same thing is with apple it has been 5 years of people making free accounts and
now well it has come time to pay up.
So all we have to do is live with it because like I said before this charge
isn’t only targeting the blind community it is going for everyone not just us.
Su just take a chill pill and be thankful they let it go this long.
