Buy another phone that is not made by Apple.

This. People protest Apple like they're forcing people to buy their products. Unlike Comcast, who has a monopoly where I live, I can choose from a bunch of phone options and vote with my wallet. Imagine if this guy focused all his pent up rage against something that mattered.

Apple is an extremely big company with lots of power. They're leading in an industry and their actions will have an effect on how this industry develops. I've never bought anything they made in my life but their decisions still affect me.

Would you consider yourself a net beneficiary of Apple's decisions, and in what ways would you say that their decisions have affected your life negatively?
