I'm not saying they're perfect, far from that, personally I despise their stupid marketing and clear cut decisions (the CD drive, the jack, etc.), the repairability is abysmal. They had big flukes and made stupid decisions, like fanless laptops, butterfly keyboards and such.

But an iPhone is supported for 10 years software wise, a MacBook is supported for 7 years. The build quality of pretty much all their products is also generally great with the occasional miss. Not many tech manufacturers come close. Maybe I'm mistaken and I'd be gladly proven wrong.

    "Repairability" and they were the first ones to make batteries be glued so they can only be repaired by an Apple repair center. 😭

    The “planned obsolescence” argument holds as much water as a sieve and always has.

    It’s cope. Everyone seems to need to cope about why they got what they got and not the other thing. Nobody can just admit “I got the thing I wanted”

    I wear yalls downvotes as a badge of pride that I triggered some tribalists who had to react but couldn’t respond
