Apple hardware has been rough in the past couple of years. Personally I’m glad. In 2015 I was their target ‘new programmer’ that should buy a MacBook Pro, use Xcode to make my first iOS & watchOS app and start selling it on the App Store. I was already hooked on the consumer products and services. But the hardware got too expensive and was of poor quality, and after I dabbled in Swift on my old Mac I moved instead to learn C, Python, how to use Linux and other things that I feel have been much better for my general computer science education. I hope a lot of young nerds come to reject the optionless Apple ecosystem in this way.
