    I’m an Apple user. I used to enjoy tinkering with my system (this was in the days of System 7 and ResEdit), but now I just want it to work unobtrusively. I don’t want to have to think about my OS; I want to concentrate on what I’m doing with my OS. Apple certainly has its drawbacks, but I’ve yet to see an OS that’s better at getting out of your way and staying out of your way.

    Personally, I don’t give a shit about luxury, but then, I’ve never cared about that in any context.

      That’s true if all of your devices are apple. I have Windows and an iPad, and it is unnecessarily frustrating to get the iPad to communicate with my PC. Apple keeps insisting on getting in the way.

      I hella feel that but re: phone on my end. I have tons of Windows machines and a couple Linux boxes and I don’t want to have to muck about with my phone with custom ROMs or… anything.

      I don’t want to think about my phone. I’ve got a five year old iPhone that runs like the day I got it, and I’ve got all of my texts from 10 years ago and 20k+ photos. I’ve never reformatted it.

      Apple gets a lot of hate on Lemmy but damn are their phones exactly what I want.
