Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

    I hate apple so much.
    I really hate Iphones.

    Iphone, Iphone,
    I fucking hate it
    I hate it so much
    I want to beat it wtih a stick

    It’s such a slow-ass,
    buggy piece of shit,
    and everyone who works for Apple
    can suck my fucking dick

    I want to punch it in the face
    and shoot it in the head
    and run it over with a steamroller
    over and over, until it’s fucking dead

    I’m going to dig up Steve Jobs
    and Piss on his bones
    Because fuck him and everyone
    with their stupid fucking Iphones.

    I do like their laptops, but for literally everything else: the fact that I basically don’t own my own hardware.

    I can’t install or distribute my own software without Apple’s arbitrary approval. When Apple decides it’s done supporting the products, I can’t even install a different OS like Linux because the hardware is completely locked down… they become paper-weights.

    That is not how ownership is supposed to work.

    • Overpriced
    • Tim Cook
    • Closed ecosystem
    • People using Apple devices are usually people that don’t know a thing about tech, yet boast about how good Apple is while criticizing other brands, blindly believing the marketing Apple does
    • Shitty decisions
    • Devices are designed to be as hard as possible to self-repair
    • Overpriced

      What’s wrong with Tim Cook?

      Edit: Downvoted for asking a question, y’all are miserable people.

    I think for most privacy nuts it comes down to “I don’t trust them and it’s closed source. They could be hiding anything in that code.”

    And then there’s the people who can’t afford or won’t spend the money it takes to have an enjoyable Apple experience. It genuinely costs multiple thousands of dollars to get into the Apple ecosystem and then it’s massively painful to get out. It’s basically just “corporation bad” because corporations are bad. The only way to be truly private is to not carry a phone at all and use only FOSS solutions.

      I keep hearing how painful it is to get out. Can someone please elaborate on this?

      I am not super tech savvy and was DEEP in the ecosystem but didn’t think it was hard by any stretch.

      I migrated my data, purged my files, canceled my subscriptions in a few taps/clicks, sold our imacs, MacBook pros, homepods and iPhones and moved on with my life and haven’t looked back since. Took maybe an afternoon for the data piece and a few other after-the-fact logins to cancel things I forgot about. This is legit the 4th time in two days I’ve read this comment so I am just genuinely curious!
