This. What is the point? The board is like 90% poorfaggots mad at Apple for existing 24/7.

A complaint that I haven't really heard much recently was the fact that the iPod is pretty much dead. Yeah, they do have the iPod touch, but why don't they have a portable Hi-Fi system, similar to Sony's new Walkmans? I used to love having an iPod that I could carry along with my old iPhone 4 back in the day. I could listen to music on the iPod, saving battery on my phone, but sadly they abandoned the shuffle, nano, etc.

I don't have a problem with overpriced rhinestone encrusted luxury computers for /fa/gettes, but they're smarmy self congratulatory culture is the most cringy shit in tech.
Charles Ortiz
They charge more money for their products then I'm willing to pay.
Aiden Gray
getting an ipod at an early age showed me how locked down and limited apple products were, so I've never bought anything by them because wouldn't be able to stand being forced to load up itunes and sync for 10 minutes just to add an extra song to my playlist

I'm interested to see specific complaints about the company that people have, besides the typical "they removed the headphone jack" or whatnot.

Eh?

I mean points that people typically don't make about the company, such as this:

I. FUCKING. HATE. APPLE.
I hate that iOS has native sandboxing for all apps WTF ANDROID DOESN'T HAVE THAT and I also hate that they keep their phones have guaranteed updates for 5 years even though Android is only 2. How disgusting is that? Or that they have one of the most secure OS on the market - only because it's closed source! My chinkshit spybox Android phone is open source except for the proprietary software preloaded onto it from ChingChong that data mines me and makes my phone more vulnerable to malware. Or that their OS is designed around their hardware so it's fully optimized and synergetic. GAWD
Whatever, what about their computers - UGH more optimized and synergetic software and hardware experience. That's trash. I get 3 hours of battery life on my chinkpad with loonix. That's enough time for me to fix my scripts that broke since the kernel update. Fucking macfags AUGH

Can we finally put an end to this meme?

This is a dumb thread, but I’m an unironic Apple fan so I’ll chime in. Apple pricing was always high but people always ignored the overall package such as included software, re-sale value, etc. and I used to defend their pricing to an extent because of it, but now they are just outright overpricing their products. The macbook lineup is shit tier and costs a fuck ton of cash to boot, new iPad pros are nice but hella expensive and they don’t have pro software like logic or final cut. One of the primary reasons I still use a mac is because of garageband and logic and I’d like to see it on the ipad properly, ios garageband is cancer.
Benjamin Clark
And ios file management is a joke. Absolutely ridiculous that they expect pros to use their ipads yet don’t give people a proper files system. Rumours are ios 13 will fix ios problems like this but I fucking doubt it.
Brandon Anderson
Not complying to industry standards.
Honestly after Jobs died they've been getting better at that (USB-C, standard wireless charging) but their cables have always been proprietary garbage that go bad in 5 months.

Once a decade or so (while Steve was CEO) they created something with a Wow factor. However Apple has proven itself incapable of achieving competency in the most simple technical things like maps and voice assistants.
Colton Taylor
>Once a decade or so (while Steve was CEO) they repackaged and marketed someone else's tech with a Wow factor.
Fixed.
Josiah Roberts
I like apples style, but what I can't stand is when they go for style over substance.
Xavier Wilson
So what you're saying is, you hate apple's style.
Michael Green
They used to take good ideas, and refine them to be practical.

Charging 4x the value of their products.

I've hated Apple since I was a child but I had no idea it was that bad.
James Gutierrez
>stripping features for sake of 'simplicity'
>poorly designed computers
>whack repair policy
i like the idea of streamlining things but this is ridiculous
Benjamin Jenkins
Terrible price to quality ratio. Their products are not better than any other products, but they cost like they're the absolute greatest thing this world has ever seen. You're paying thousands of dollars for cheap and limited tech with MacOS pre-installed. Why would I want to use a laptop with a few fucking USB-C ports and that's it? It's laughable.
They're not bad. But they're not worth the price, definitely.

You now have a 300 ish gig memory ipod for 100 bucks. With a much better battery and bluetooth compatibility
It's the same reason we dont have portable scanners
