Mkay I'm writing this here otherwise it's gonna be a tag wall. Here are all my reasons why I hate Apple/iPhones:

  • It's 100% a status symbol because you are being charged for the brand, not the phone. You are literally paying extra for the same tech. (So exactly like she said)
  • They purposely want to keep their users in the dark about how their tech works (why you can't build a Mac like a PC) because then they can charge extra for fixing things.
  • They purposely roll out updates to slow down older phones.
  • I consider them predatory because at least for high schools where I live, they pushed for contracts to be the suppliers for school laptops that they give students. Basically getting them onto the Apple UI early, which as someone who has had to learn the differences between Windows and Mac OS for education in creative industries (yeah expect a lot of Mac takeovers there too, if the two different university/trade schools I went to were anything to go by) I feel is done entirely on purpose. Makes the idea of transitioning to the other system too difficult and unattractive.
  • A further case in point to this: I finished high school before they handed out those laptops. My sister got one. She is a 100% Mac and iPhone user. I'm on windows and android, I have basically BUILT my own PC and I know how to troubleshoot and fix all my tech and hardware problems. I'm known as the 'tech person' in the family but the second you come to me with a Apple related problem? Shit out of luck mate, can't help you. Go pay them for help.
  • Apple is straight up the reason Tumblr got hit with the porn ban. No seriously. It's also why tag censorship gets out of control even now. And it's also why we'll probably never get NSFW content back:

So if you hate the Tumblr porn ban, hate paying 'brand tax' on a product, hate purposeful obsolescence in tech, hate the sanitisation of the internet at large, hate the discrimination sex workers face nowadays -

You should be hating Apple.

They also have a great website that is extremely detailed and interactive!!

https://www.btselem.org

I found them because I had seen someone say that the ratio of Palestinians to Israelis fatalities since 2005 was 23:1 and i was wondering where the data for that originally came from. This website keeps such detailed accounts of fatalities, home destruction, and other human rights violations. It also has an interactive map that shows the timeline of the occupation, talks about different communities and settlements, shows check points, and more.

It is extremely informative, and honestly pretty remarkable.
