Any particular reason for the Apple hate?

Just curious why. Because I find most Apple haters are as bad, or worse, than the hardcore Apple fanboys.

Myself, I use what works. I do use Apple products, IBM products, Intel, and AMD. All of which have research facilities in Israel.

Overpriced closed eco system.

I've bought Apple stuff before but Android since. Been happier with Android be it Samsung, LG or OnePlus.

I want to like OnePlus however it’s basically saying hello to Chinese spyware.
I’m an apple guy it just works and yes I know it still spies on me it’s just apple has a lot in the game to keep the spying within due bounds.

Too rich for me.

I bought a Samsung A54 last year for $449.. well $219 with a trade in. 6.4" screen, 5G, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, SD Card slot, unlocked.

Does everything I need it to and doesn't cost me over $1000+ unlike Apple.

100% why I am with apple on the phone. Only the phone. While privacy wise your’re still screwed you’re at least not dp’ed.

Btw with androids you can have both a sim and an esim.

But I guess if you're having an affair and don't want your wife to find out.. a burner is the smarter way to do things.

I dont deal in lies .

But I do adhere to Snowden's second commandment :

Just cause you dont have anything to say today doesnt mean you dont have anything to hide tomorrow.(tm)

Any good prepper has a burner.

Noob, I buy refurb/white box a few models old and had a firm $200 max spend. I need to update that to $250 for next device. Refurb units from woot or black market work fine and typically last 2-3 years with a battery change at some point.

I try and get 5-7 years from mine rather than 3.

For my 10,000th post.. my most deepest inner supercalifragilisticexpialidocious conspiracy theory:


Hendrix never died.. he continues to roam the universe
And Earth was just part of his grand tour..

There is too much confusion
I can't get no relief
There are many here among us..
Who feel that life is but a joke!

That's a great Bob Dylan song.

Feeling iPhones and other Apple devices are overpriced is valid. Though I'd argue the top of the line Samsungs are just as overpriced.

I do use an iPhone, but I try to get 3-4 years out of mine, and then look for the best trade-in deals possible to maximize the used value.

Yeah I don't mind anyone using iphones but sadly paying that premium price is how greedflation works.

I remember buying a 46" sony bravia HD 1080 tv in 2007 for $1600. However one can pick one up for $300 today.

But how come iphones are more and more expensive unlike TV's? Greedflation!

I don't like to feed into greedflation.. pisses me off!

dude, bob dylan is anything but a humble guy. in fact, stay away from any info about him, unless you want your myths shattered.
"Why did you stop writing protest songs?"
"It's hard to stay angry when you're making a million bucks a year."

As Dylan says, "I'm just a song and dance man". This was said when the interviewer was trying to pin him down.

As expected.. next calvinball target for scotus!
What? This guy is bombing my reels feed with all kinds of nonsense "If I was a liberal..." sketches. Super stupid and super corny. I skip all of them instantly, I dont know why they keep appearing... Maybe it's cause I manage to get a rile out of right wing stupid on other forums...
(I know it's stupid, cause engaging means traffic means dollars means more to their cause....But where am I supposed to direct this asshole-energy?)

Something @MrSquished alluded to.. I wonder if there's a deal to keep Trump outta jail on fed charges if he complies.

Conspiracy thoughts anyone??
