    Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.

    But they’re fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what’s the problem?

    I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don’t want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.

      Pretty much this for me too. Switched to iphone because I no longer wanted to tinker, switched my work laptop to apple silicon because the battery life and performance is stellar.

      Learned to be fine with mac os, do most things in terminal anyway. Will likely switch to asahi linux when it is stable enough that I don’t have to tinker, because tinkering gets in the way of actually getting things done in my situation.

      Also, being real: running LLMs on my mac is great. 128gb of unified memory basically means 120gb of vram. It’s absurdly expensive, but nothing quite like it exists in the market right now.

      Idk every apple product I’ve touched always felt pretty thin and flimsy. Don’t even get me started on Mac mice. They’re so cheaply made you don’t get a second mouse button. The Mac books are so fragile you can break them by looking at them wrong. The only time I’ve ever seen a iPhone that doesn’t have a crack in the screen is when they are brand new. Maybe I’m a bit of a farmer for considering rigidity the definition of high quality, but god how do one button mice feel good.

      Apple has that break the lense on a camera and your phone starts to brick it’s self as it thinks it’s been repaired by someone who’s not apple

      High quality until you drop it once and the entire screen shatters. High quality until your lightning cable breaks. High quality until planned obsolescence renders it unusable. Nah Apple products are pure ass lmao, literally no reason to ever buy one unless it’s got some exclusive artsy software you really like (and even then there’s prob something just as good for windows or Linux). As far as bang for your buck goes I can’t think of a worse choice than Apple in any given field
