Either Apple is a large company who has issues just like any large organization or people just like hating on Apple.

Either Apple is a large company who has issues just like any large organization or people just like hating on Apple.
- gabeio 5y agoTwo things can be true.
- amelius 5y agoStrange thing is that anti-Apple posts on HN get lots of discussion about how Apple is bad. Then a few days later a new MacBook is released, and there is a post on HN where everybody is raving about Apple. Then the next day, everybody is hating Apple again. It's confusing.
- shkkmo 5y agoApple is good at some things and bad at others.
- yepthatsreality 5y agoIt would be interesting to see what percentage of HN posters flip-flop on this topic.
- Macha 5y agoPeople who care about e.g. right to repair or other issues Apple's behaviour is poor for will be more likely to dislike Apple and comment on those posts, while people who are like Apple are more likely to comment on posts about the new MacBook or iPhone or other device
- slownews45 5y agoThe repair folks and apple is such a weird relationship. My iphone lasts so much longer than android, the updates keep on coming much much longer (my parents android phone NEVER got an update and shipped 1 version behind at time they bought it). It's pretty dang durable, waterproof, and I've never had a problem getting it fixed (I use AppleCare+). Seriously, it seems from where I'm sitting if you want a reliable phone, one that holds its value, can be re-used and resold etc, get an iphone. I used to travel internationally and old iphones just had an INCREDIBLY long value retention period.
