Reply to comment by nobody158 in The only Apple product I've ever owned. I got it for Christmas in 2009 and it still does the job! by probablyborednh

I’ve never understood this. Is it just because people are envious and can’t afford Apple products? Who cares if their platform is different?

I always talked shit because the they didn’t allow third party apps but as I’ve come to care more about privacy it really is the only game in town

I had a bunch and I will like to inform you Apple lost a giant class action lawsuit for fixing obsolescence to a ridiculous amount at least once.

Some generation of products are built like tanks but are annoying as heck in terma of compatibility, and others are a scam where they have less for more.

Source: owned 5 iPods, 2 iMac's and honestly, not sure if something else prior.

So, probably just someone who wasn't happy with the product.

Because at one point, the high costs were justified in Apples quality, along with the innovation at the time. Each product they came out with was something out of the future. My old iPods/iPads/Airport Extreme router still work after 10 years. But after Steve Jobs died, things changed, the quality just wasn't there anymore, it was more or less the same exact products since 10 years ago, and any "innovation" they claim has been done by competitors like Android years before, and the costs have skyrocketed.

Thats my reasoning for not liking Apple anymore. It has nothing to do with "envy" although I'm sure some Apple users might wish to see things that way.
