speed run enshittifying Apple

They have had the nick name 'cRapple' ..amongst a hundred others for many many years. Such names doesn't come by them selves, so not sure why you think they are not already one of the most enshittified and evil corps in the world - they always were !..

Don't ever buy their products, or in any way support their controlled ecosystem..

    I am in no way an Apple fan. I think their computers are fine but grossly over priced and their phones are ass. I would say compared to many other big tech companies, the enshittifying isn't as bad. Those like Google and Microsoft for example. If I had a gun to my head and had to buy a new Windows laptop or Mac and not install Linux, I'm taking the Mac. That's not a positive review for them, it's an insult to Microsoft.

    So take what I said and just assume it means that they are just getting worse faster, not that they good and going to get bad. That ship sailed long ago as you pointed out.

    Grossly over priced compared to what though? I can't find a comparable ARM SoC on any non-Apple laptops to even compare to and the first gen Apple chips are still trading blows with modern Intel and AMD Chips depending on use case. We're now talking about the release of the 6th generation this year (though likely no Pro or Max chips this time).

    A Macbook Air isn't really more expensive than a Thinkpad with similar performance.

    I think they're overpriced compared to most laptops. Being ARM doesn't inherently make it more valuable. The newest cheap model is the first that I feel has been relatively fairly priced, but it still comes with less RAM than it should. "Grossly" may not be the best word, but I think they are overpriced based entirely on name recognition.

    Like I said, I think their fine computers, just more expensive than they should be.
