In what sense Apple is expensive monetary?
In any case if this is a face off, Apple will win - it has greater, much grater loyal customer base. Sooner or later Apple will have AppleGPT and will include premium subscription into Apple One plan, or whatever it is called. And I am telling this as both an Apple user and ChatGPT paid user.
A trillion dollar company demanding 30% cut of revenue of small developers, on top of annual developer fees and exorbitantly priced hardware with zero reparability and severe environmental impact isn’t monetarily expensive enough for you? That isn’t loyalty. It’s stupid fanaticism that harms everyone else. And I don’t want to even start about the petty part.
I laugh everytime I see fanbois biting the bait even if it was a very mild uninspired bait. Makes it easy to tag moronic fanatics and identify them in the future.
Maximum eyeroll
Are you violently agreeing with me?
Apple is exactly as shit as every other tech company, because they have to be in order to win the capitalism game.
But yeah, they sure have got a lot of zealots…
