Summary
Ted Hodges, a writer at LowEndMac, has published an article where they accuse Apple for terminating them for allegedly helping an elderly friend with a data transfer between 2 iMacs.
2 weeks later they were approached by their boss (who knew of the ordeal from an unspecified source) and Mr. Ted admitted to doing the data transfer where they were laid off 2 days after the initiation of an investigation.
Ted has posted the article 6 months after they got terminated "thanks to covid".
Ted later describes their distaste towards Apple and announces that they would go Apple free.

My thoughts
First off, I sympathize a lot with the writer, however I must point out that there are many things that would let you go "Hmmmm...."
Obviously the first thing that sticks out is the timing of this article, right when Apple is at it's lowest PR wise, chugging it as "Covid gave me time to think about it" is a convenient excuse.
Second off, discussion towards this article has been rather negative on sites like reddit, it maybe the nature of the subreddit this is currently being discussed at but I didn't think that it would get such reception regardless.
Thirdly, the writer provides 0 evidence of the termination or even them working at Apple, so I would be REALLY cautious.
Finally, the article seems to throw a surprising amount of shade towards Apple, going as far as recommending competitors such as Spotify instead of Apple Music.
