Apple being Apple again. Just why does anyone actually like that company?

Apple wanted to implement on-device surveillance under the guise of protecting children. They slowed phones behind the users back and only relented after being caught and sued.

And their products aren't even that good anymore. A Macbook with a dead SSD is bricked because it's 'BIOS' was stored in a expendable part instead of safely stored somewhere else like that fancy security chip they use to do parts pairing. iPhones aren't between the best cameras. Storage and RAM are ludicrously expensive. MacOS isn't usable out of the box without a lot of third party apps to make windows management bearable.

And don't get me started about iOS.
