That's apple wanting to control their closed hardware ecosystem. Windows is built to run on a significantly wider range of hardware, so isn't really comparable in that way.
True, microsoft is a wehrmacht nazi soldier where as apple is full on gestapo.
I guess that's true. But both are acting like everyone just has money to waste.
Well, for people that buy into Apple, there's a higher chance that's the case 😅
True true! But there's a reason why I've only bought used.
When I was kind of strapped on cash, the 2016 iphone SE was the most best choice by far. The android phones I'd had before that usually cost a similar amount and they all broke in less than three years. But that 290€ bad boy lasted until I lost it in 2023. Shame they're no longer making those. But I guess the silver lining is that people don't make fun of me for having an iPhone anymore.
