What is the most annoying thing about Apple for you?

The S5 was notorious for having a bad fingerprint sensor. Okay, wasn't bad but was annoying. the S6 and S7 is much much improved. 

Works really well now. When I first got it, it took me a few attempts, but was still perfectly usable

I don't like Apple's design decisions, for example their iPhone is thin and fragile with a camera bump, and the macbook pro only has 2 USB ports. Also finder on OSX is a pain to use compared to windows. I also don't like IOS in general.
Also, the products are too expensive for what you get, but their laptops are really durable.

Apple IPhone is really good, but there's couple things I don't like it: No battery replacement, SD Card, and expensive. Apple charge you double the price when it come to storage such as going from 16GB to 32GB. Storage aren't that expensive, so I don't know why Apple make the price so high. 

[thekeemo]

price

proprietary crap everywhere.

[snortings]

A thing I hate about Apple is the god damn prices.

 

They are just going to keep rising and rising, to the point where no one will buy it.

 

Such as the 6S, is like $1500 for 128GB, and when the 7 comes out it will be more expensive, 8 comes out more expensive yet again and so on. One day they are going to be a ridiculous price.

Yeah, Apple's been making a lot of REALLY SHIT design choices lately. I'm convinced they're smoking the same thing Snapchat is! Remember the iPhone battery case? At first I agreed with the masses in how dreadful it looked (indifferent about it now). But that pales in comparison with some of the other crazy shit. 1 USB type-C on the Macbook, hell at least HP, HP of all people, was smart enough to pack 3 of them and include adapters in the box!! Putting the charging port ON THE BOTTOM of the magic mouse 2. And also having the Pencil stick straight out of the iPad while charging. I mean, unless you're going to have the Pencil stick out (the same way your wallet sticks out a white flag) of your bag, it's going to be really difficult to carry it around.

Actually, you never hear about the female-to-female lightning adapter you get with the pencil. You can charge it using a regular lightning cable, doesn't have to stick out of the iPad.

 

Though, while they do nice things like that, it doesn't mean any other complaint about them is false. Just means they're at least slightly aware of some of the ridiculous things they do.

i'd honestly prefer apple over android if i had the option of getting one jailbroken out the box, or having "jailbreak" be an official apple thing.

 

i mean, if apple truly cared about their userbase and dont have a walled garden of barbwire, they could have spun a marketing spin at it and say "join the community effort program for free, and share your passion for apple devices" whilst basicly just having their own thing of what cydia does for me. i'd be all over apple devices.

 

but i honestly dont wanna go trough the effort of jailbreaking, making sure it doesnt lock up from trying to do an update, making sure my device doesnt run out of battery because tethered jailbreaks and so on. so for me an android device allows me to configure everything i want, do so cheaper, do so more "repairable" and have me not pay 3 frikkin dollars for a flashlight app.

[GregButcher]

Stupid things like pushing retarded standards and solutions, yet still setting trends, and manufacturers following them more or less(thinner phones, less ports, and most infuriating the "no headphone jack" rumors)

 

Apart from that I give kudos where its deserved and they do make a lot of awesome things in one way or the other.(pushing fingerprint sensor to be mainstream, consistent long term updates)

[Pesukarhu]

I remember when i got my iphone 2 years ago i couldn't make an apple id because i live in Finland and (at the time) FOR SOME F***ING RETARDED CODE i didnt get the option to not give apple my billing information. So i had to use my moms account -.- (that was created when this bug didnt exist)

Later i found out that i could slap a random USA address in there to make it give the option. But it is fixed now. Screenshots from apple support. (they didnt quite get it...but i didnt explain well enough. oh well)

[i_am_a_modder]

The thing I hate most is the people who buy Apple products thinking they are the best because it was made by Apple and they think you are stupid when you don't own an Apple product.

I love Apple, I love them so very much. I own one of everything from their lines (MacBook Pro, iPhone 6+, iPad Air). I love iOS and MacOS, but damnit I hate their emphasis on mobile devices. Hey, Apple, mobile devices don't run the world. Update your computers more than once every millennium please.

 

Apple, give Skylake... Please... Soon?... ... Maybe?...

I love the way they're put together.

Not necessarily the method, but the form. They're one of the few companies that design products to look good when you take them apart.

... Unfortunately, they're also the leader in discouraging people from taking apart their devices. Their own devices. That they bought with their own money.

...

My mind snapped back to hating them again.

yeah i agree, i was going to get a macbook but i realised (thank god XD) that they are a rip off and then decided to save up for a good pc 

[laminutederire]

Apple's proprietary approach. It's the same one could say about nvidia's policy though. Now they have lost the proprietary hardware part mostly, but you still can't code anything to customize most things because they aren't sharing their work (like someone cares). That behavior is anti - consumers and should be eradicated from all those big companies who are doing that.

Furthermore it's untechy, as it doesn't allow exterior people to develop any technology or any compatibility.

[Rammix]

The apple store being staffed almost exclusively with smug millennial hipsters who are far too informal for their own good. 

[jkkjk]

no file system on IOS, compatiblity, ecosystem, weird kb shortcuts 

[Abel225]

That it is too expensive. I want a mac! but I can't afford one.

Sure ifixit hates them as much as you do

The fact they still sell the HDD-stock, Ivy Bridge-powered, SuperDrive equipped, non-retina MacBook "Pro" from 2012. That's beyond me literally.

It's because Apple's too focused on the iPad, iPhone, and Watch 2 than to update the Macs

I'm sure iFixit hates Apple as a matter of principle, but at the same time, iFixit has a lot of specialized tools that they can sell specifically because of Apple.

I see Apple get a lot of flak for this, but I have tried this and find nothing wrong with it. In fact, that is my one and only way of charging my Apple Pencil. 

 

No one is asking to charge your pencil inside your bag. I do it like this every couple of days, and it's worked well for me so far. It's an elegant solution to an inelegant problem and I can see why Apple chose to implement it the way they did.

The monitors have a 200hz refresh rate, but because the R9 graphics can't handle that many frames, it's really not for gaming if you don't have a Mac Pro or Power Mac.

Wat.

First, they're all 60 Hz, from MacBook Air's TN up to MacBook Pro and iMac 5K.

Power Mac have PowerPC processors and the last known to be produced was in 2006.

 

So if we really have to circlejerk for upvotes, at least get some facts right.

Okay, edit; The Graphics can't keep up with 5K.
