Somewhat overdue IMHO.

    Reading on different Apple sites, it’s hilarious. People are acting like they are being sued. Crazy to watch how cult members react. I mean it’s unhealthy but it is what it is.

      I don’t get the fanboy culture around phone manufacturers. None of them have done anything innovative in a decade. They’re just adding more cameras and trying to make them thinner even though I’m pretty sure most people don’t care about either.

          Not in any practical sense of the word but that didn’t stop them from removing headphone jacks in order to shave an additional 1/16 of an inch off.

          I’d prefer they make it fatter if the battery would last more than a day as consequence.

            They literally have done that. For example iPhone 15 Pro Max is 12.5mm thick. The iPhone 6 (thinnest iPhone ever made) was 7mm.

            There are several iPhones with different batteries but the largest one is 17Wh. The iPhone 6 had a 7Wh battery.

            That’s what they do. Compare an iPhone 6 to the current ones, you’ll see they’ve gotten fat

        Rapidly advancing capitalist/materialistic brain rot is more of an issue, than people realize. For a lot of people it’s a status symbol. A lot of others have to justify spending copious amounts of cash on a bad product, by bringing others down, who made different choices. At the end of the day, none of it matters whatsoever, because the only winner here is the company who took your money

      It’s so strange. I have realized over the last few years that I think I prefer apples stuff to Google or Microsoft but like, they ain’t my family. Just the least bad tech company I can buy certain products from.

      These suits will either make the products slightly better or change nothing at all. Why the fuck would any consumer be upset by that???

        I’m the same. I prefer apple products generally speaking, but Apple sucks just as much as every other giant asshole company and I don’t like Apple. There’s no ethical consumption in capitalism. Fuck all these companies.
