So Apple products are the high road here? Products that lock me in and force me to shell out money every few years to upgrade, force my friends/family to use the same platform (iphoto), creates gardens with massive walls (doesn't let Siri talk to apps, has a totalitarian regime of an app store), and more, or use the completely free Facebook where "I am the product"? Most people don't care and even I am not convinced being the product is necessarily a bad thing.
- Waterluvian 9y agoEvery few years? Don't Apple products have unusually long lifespans and support durations?
- gaius 9y agoStill using my 2008 MacBook Pro, it gets security updates but won’t run latest OSX.
- dumbfounder 9y agoHow easy is it to change a battery in your phone? Upgrade the memory? What about them slowing down the phone when the battery degrades, and only just recently to be called out for that?
- slouch 9y agoOh c'mon. The alternative to them slowing it down is an unexpected reboot. Is that what you want? Crashes?
- dumbfounder 9y agoI want them to be transparent about such issues and then let me buy a new battery at the apple store when it gets to that point. They don't want to make this happen, they want me to buy a new phone.
