I see nothing intrinsically wrong with Apple products except their price. 

They just can't fulfill a lot of what I use for computers for, so I don't buy them.

Not sure if it was worth a full thread but hey ^^

 

By the way the forum isn't completely unanimous in this, so although I share your dislike of their products you might find a lot of people here don't...

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

except their price. 

 

Well that is THE problem isn't it? It's like saying I see nothing wrong with jumping from a cliff except that you die ;)

 

There are a few more problems I can see (apple products are heavily locked down and almost completely unupgradeable for example) but the price imo is the real kicker.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I don't so much dislike Apple... I absolutely HATE the general public's perception of Apple. By this I mean I hate it when someone assumes every Apple product is superior to any competing product just because it is Apple. I also hate when people assume Mac's can't get viruses because they are Mac's...

I don't mind Mac's for graphic/video design, or maybe some development work. The only issue with them is that they are really overpriced for what you're getting. And the iPhone is overpriced for these reasons:

 

- Hardware is nowhere near the same as some new Android based devices such as the HTC One M8.

- Their OS is utter shit. (iOS)

There is so much to not like about apple. I could be here all day but they are not the ones I hate. Dislike, oh hell yes, for many good reasons but then I tell myself they're a bad company and that is how bad companies operate. What really gets my goat are the isheep, the people in the world that know fuck all about what they are talking about who try and tell me why apple products are better...... really head frying. The products do look nice though.

I do not have any problem with their products, it's just that i don't like Apple as a company. They're arrogant and patent trolls.

It's all about staying with what's trendy, right? For me, 2K Australia is the new Ubisoft.
