“Apple haters”, or Apple customers who have blown tens of thousands on Apple equipment over the years and have noticed their (relatively) recent focus towards maximising their revenue instead of being focused on producing good products. I continue to use Apple products every day as my daily drivers, and can’t see that changing. Im writing this from my iPad Pro. I’m probably buying 2 new iPhones this year despite them all being too big. I haven’t bought a new MBP in a while as my 2015s meet my current needs better than the new products do. I found the original tweet totally credible. I feel more like an “Apple sucker” than an “Apple hater”.

If you found the tweet credible then why did this come up now? When they were testifying before congress? That’s because it wasn’t credible. And the pattern is, some news about Apple comes out, people rage BEFORE getting the entire story, then later learn the truth and calm down. In this case it was a matter of hours.

  > the pattern is, some news about Apple comes out, people rage BEFORE getting the entire story, then later learn the truth and calm down I found it credible. I upvoted the post. I then learnt the truth, and posted that I found the original tweet credible. There's no rage. There's just me, a long time Apple customer, finding a falsehood believable. There's more nuance to the world than just 'Apple haters' and 'rage'. You don't have to be an 'Apple hater' to fall for this. You don't have to have been 'raging' to have fallen for this. You can just be (like me) stupid, and happily admit that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Well next time perhaps look a little deeper. It was pretty obvious to me the poster doesn’t know much about this process. This would’ve come up years ago, this should’ve been a red flag to anybody believing it. But hey, people miss facts all the time. However the specific problem here is why this person didn’t get the facts prior to posting. With how quickly people react to fake news is dangerous these days. So maybe do yourself a favor and play devils advocate next time. Also scroll down in this comments section to find your ragers.
