Advanced Data Protection!

Hello guy’s

I tried to activate Advanced Data Protection! 

But I got funny request that I must remove the device from my account! Which it’s mean kill it and keep it away of everything!

Why should I remove my device? While I still use it? 

The device is 2016 late 15” touch bar! I bought it in more than 3000$ ! 

So first time the device it is no longer covered by new apple updates! And then even the photos library not sync anymore with my other devices! And now everything in other devices asked me to kick this device out of the service! 

What is this called! Isn't it forcing customers to buy a new device? Seriously! This is  really frustrating! 

I want someone to talk to me about this sensibly!  I don't want someone feigning loyalty and flattery! We have here a serious problem here! 

I want to activate this feature without forcing me to buy a new device! Or removing my device! I want to take advantage of this feature like everyone else of users of Apple devices!

Thanks


MacBook Pro 15″
