I've been an APPL critic for a long while. first off they make
amazing products, no doubt about it. I just wish they would not be
so smug, and ridiculous about things. what they do with text
messages coming form Android phones is caustic, and again it's done
to create a peer pressure for non iphone users to switch to iphone
if their friends have iphones because of how the android messages
show up in the group texts. Even my family who basically all have
iphones bug me if there's a group text -when are going to get an
iphone?
I'm no Facebook fan but AAPL when they were acting all high and
mighty like they were protecting the public from Ads, well look at
their aap store, they love the fact that almost all apps now are
freemium - free but you have to watch 30 second ads every min so
they can get that 30% revenue. to me many apps, especially the game
apps are unplayable because you can't just buy the game, it's free
but ads every 30 seconds to a min
and don't get me started about right to repair - which they've
finally been getting a lot of pushback and have been forced to
change a few things. But doing crap like if you repair your iphone
broken glass screen with a non-apple one, they either brick your
phone or have the phone disable a big warning message about
fraudulent parts. Or they make the claim that replacing your
own battery is too dangerous and that AAPL genius guy has to do it
- and yet we can replace the big battery in our cars on our
own?
guys who specialize in repairing things like laptops - for years
have had to basically bribe or figure out ways to get schematics
for their motherboards so that they could repair them - when AAPL
should just provide them - and the thing about AAPL saying their
are a green company - but they would rather have you throw away
your laptop and buy a brand new one that one of these good repair
guys can simply clean corrosion off or repair a bad transistor for
100 bucks - tons of unnecessary e waste. The reason why is because
they make more money when you buy a new one vs repairing it, and if
you do repair it they want to make money on that side
too.
Right, Matt. Perhaps most importantly..."Apple restricted
AirDrop in China to assist the regime in stopping information
flowing inside China." Don't own Apple anything. Never have. Never
will.

Apple helps crush human rights protests in China | CNSNews
"Apple hobbled a crucial tool of dissent in China weeks before widespread protests broke out," reports Quartz. "Anti-government protests flared in several Chinese cities and on college campuses over the weekend. But the country’s most widespread show of public dissent in decades will have to manage without a crucial communication tool, because Apple restricted its use in China earlier this month" to help quell protests.
