I’ve said it in this forum before and I’m gonna say it again, Apple is like a bad, abusive boyfriend and here’s why. He’s like this crazy, hot, good looking guy who owns the most fanciest cars and owns a big house but the longer you’re into the relationship, you realize how big of an asshole he is. 

  • You can’t upgrade the memory and storage of your MacBook, you gotta pay up!
  • Devs can’t bypass Apple’s in-app purchase 30% cut. Back then it was Spotify’s issue, now it’s Fortnite. 
  • For the longest time, you can’t use industry standard chargers, you gotta use lightning.
  • You can’t install security agents/parental controls on your iPhone despite the fact that built-in security can be jailbroken or be exploited by state-sponsored hackers.

And right now, this bad boyfriend is also a thug and yet, so many people can’t get off of this asshole as if it’s a subtle case of Stockholm syndrome because he has something other good looking guys don’t have. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • fastest mobile chips
  • most abundant app and entertainment ecosystem 
  • timely software updates 
  • the most fine-tuned mobile and desktop OS (back when I was using a Mac, I never had major OS problems unlike Windows, iOS is the most “set it and forget it” mobile OS unlike Android imo).

    This is why I will never ever buy anything from Apple or support anyone ever buying something from them. I will only report on them in Tech News and that's it.

    I mean I hope you're not sad that fortnite went away from the app store and you're merely adding this to the long list of apples anti consumer practices.

    @Gundar I’m more into PUBG and COD on my iPad at the moment and I think it’ll be next on Apple’s list of targets to eliminate 
     

    @Den-Fi I still miss the days when a MacBook is one of the most easily serviceable and repairable laptops :/

    The 30% is a bit much, but apparently other stores charge too much as well, although dev support, marketing, security, etc. should all come with the cost of the device.

    I don't like Epic or Fortnite, but I'm surprised people are defending Apple on store fees, and people argued so much over Steam's 25% cut, idk if Steam's cut is more fair because of the features users get and how huge the Steam store is.

    When people keep replying to this status update and you think you got a notification because somebody like your comment but it's Denfi and his arguably wore profile picture arguing about what apple should do with Blademaster91, not like what apple should do with Blademaster91 but like Denfi is arguing with Blademaster91 didn't want you to get confused.

    Edit: its a formal discussion not a argument

    Isn't that 30% cut on top of an annual cost? I think it was ~$99/year or something like that, even if your app is free.
