Unless an iphone becomes literally the only option, I don't see myself ever getting one. I'm deeply morally opposed to their walled-garden approach, and I won't even get one Samsung's Androids for the same reason. It would be nice for me if there was more people like me, but regardless, as long as there's a freer option, I'll be taking it.

I'm just opposed to their brand ethos. They always complicate things in the name of simplicity.

apple mice have 1 button to click, and that this decision was made (in the 80s) because they thought 2 button mice would confuse the average user.

... and now apple users command + click all the time, like that isn't more complicated.

That's not why I hate apple, but it is why I hate apple. They perpetually put the cart before the horse.

"We stopped including a charger in the box to help the environment"

Actually this means more boxes are being created in total and this is worse for the environment. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Edit: God you apple stans are annoying af. I guess y'all are just an extension of their obnoxious ethos lol.

Speaking of annoying af. Look at you, you're the same. You're not anti-apple, you're just pro-anti.
