Setting up the iOS device without logging into Apple's mainframe servers 24/7/365 (i.e., being logged into the matrix every day of your life) proves that the iOS device is designed, by Apple, as a dumb terminal. Devoid of the functionality you love about Apple products if you don't lot into Cupertino mainframe servers every moment of the rest of your life. The fact iOS devices are dumb terminals proves what the walled garden is.
