> the "no headphone jack" thing seemed pretty evil to me. Ignoring the hyperbole ("evil"? Really?) all removing the headphone jack was was proactively responding to market forces (because BT headphones have outsold wired for a while now) as it gave them more leeway in industrial design (the port is large and repeats functionality the other port already has anyhow). > all of the monopolistic app store practices really aren't awesome. You don't understand what "monopolistic" practices are. Sorry. Apple controls their own platform but that's not monopolistic. > the new specs for the Mac Book pro are also a joke for the price Not if you compare like for like it's not. Sorry, doesn't hold up under even a cursory examination of the competition. > wtf is that touch bar crap. Awesome is what it is - I have one and it's freaking great. > also, paying 800-1000$ for a phone is ridiculous That's literally the price range of most major high-end smart phones (ok, $700-$1000, but still). The flagship phones from Samsung, HTC, and Huawei are in that range. You have to go to LG or Oppo (much much smaller sales and they are selling at a loss) to get below that (and only into the $600 range, even then).
