How are the consumers winning their battle against major tech companies like Apple and Google?

 Apple recently faced quite some bash from the internet for the new iPhone 13 series .

The first noticeable hardware encryption was the Touch ID home button. It was not user replaceable by the consumers themselves unless they went to a genius bar. Apple programmed each Touch ID home button with the specific motherboard. If someone tries to replace it, it ruined the home button functionality completely.
