    I wonder if that would actually hold up in court. Apple can call it a game console, but a game console should be used primarily for games. I’m sure most iPhone users do play some games on their phone, but I doubt a high percentage use their iPhone primarily for games. Even on their marketing page for the iPhone 15 pro, they allocate more space to photography and connectivity than they do to gaming, though gaming comes before either.

      Absurd thing for Apple to try to argue in court, I hope they get laughed out.

      On the other hand, the new Pros apparently output 4k via USBC now and they support multiple wireless controllers. So with the new game titles coming to iOS, I wonder how well one of them would chug out a AAA game at 4k to a TV. IIRC the hardware is already better than the Switch.

      In either case, it’s a phone and that’s how it should be legally classified. Also that exemption for consoles is ridiculous. Obvious lobbying at play there.

      I use my PlayStation primarily to use streaming services. Do I get the right to repair it?
