• This isn’t really true.

    Apple, at least here in the UK, give a 1 year warranty as is the law and anything repairs that need doing that are not the fault of the consumer (ie dropping and breaking the screen) are covered under this warranty. Furthermore, if there is a problem with a line of products then they will extend the warranties to cover that issue for a longer period of time.

    You can pay to have AppleCare+ which will extend this warranty and add on accidental damage too.

    There are plenty of legitimate reasons to shit on Apple without having to make up new ones.

    Also, iPhones are a lot cheaper than they were a few years ago and they’re cheaper than their Samsung counterparts when comparing Pro vs Pro, etc.

    Source: Worked for Apple for 3+ years and I’ve consumed many of their products, although I now only have an iPhone. For what it’s worth MacOS is infinitely better than windows.

      MacOS is infinitely better than windows.

      Yeah, no. Not even close. If nothing else, window management on MacOS is a fucking joke. The only thing that makes it less shitty is 3 party apps like rectanglesapp.

      The settings menu is a fucking joke and laid out by the dumbest motherfuckers you’ve never met.

      It prioritizes wifi above Ethernet.

      The list goes on and on and on. MacOS is a messy hodgepodge of shit that barely works.

      Windows has a lot of issues too, but thankfully, they are always fixable or have a workaround. In many cases, you have zero recourse on MacOS and if you don’t like it you can send an angry email to Mr tim apple.

      • Are you actually arguing that the settings menu in windows is better than digshit??? Settings on Mac are all in one location lol.

        It prioritizes wifi above Ethernet.

        No it doesn’t. I don’t know why you think that, do a speed test and you’d easily see that’s not true.

        This is just baloney. Mac is UNIX. You can change pretty much anything you like about it. Your entire comment is pretty much false.

      • Sure the window management is shit but everything else is a better user experience and it’s not filled with bloatware and ads like windows. Plus it’s Unix based.

        Sadly we program with windows at work as we use C# .Net. And my gaming rig is windows as I don’t got time for Linux, but I would take a mac at work all day over windows.
