Apple........ LOL [rant]
Posted: 28 Dec 2018
Don't get me wrong, and I used to DESPISE of Apple (still do).. saying "F#&% them and their proprietary sh*z"... . next thing I knew I had an iPod, then an iPhone, then an iMac.
Sure, their stuff looks pretty and runs smooth but Apple is nothing more than an overpriced cult of corporate greed and iSheeple loyalists clamoring over each other to go deeper in debt for the newest shiny toy made by foreign slave labor - that often commits suicide due to employee abuse - at extortion prices while Apple skates by tax-free like so many "American" companies, all while telling us we need to be tolerant loving PC lefty safe-space freedom-haters or else we're the bigots! The pompous hypocrisy is unreal.
ANYWAYS, get a load of this, if you haven't already noticed: O~N~L~Y $14,000 for the fully loaded computer from almost 2 years ago that didn't even have the best technology when it was made!?! Step right up and get Effed in the A, folks!!! LOL
So to recap: $14k+ tax for an outdated-upon-release computer going on 2 years old which will be completely obsolete in 5 years (or less) when the next iMac comes out, probably for ONLY $30k and when newer software technology makes it blow a fuse.
And Apple wonders why their sales are down charging this much, not to mention up to $1,200 for easily shattered front and back glass phones that don't even fit in your pocket. But hey, don't let me get in the way of your "happiness"...
SIDENOTE: I've leased my last 2 iPhones. Said enough of that bullsh, paid off my 7, had a "Genius" run diags the other night - all good - replacing battery tomorrow morning for $30 at Apple Store, keeping 7 until it dies, saving $480/yr (payments & insurance).
IN YOUR FACE APPLE
Oh and btw, you forgot everything Steve Jobs stood for.
I paid $3,500 for my iMac. It runs perfectly with everything BESIDES REASON (slow graphics issues in Sequencer edit mode since day 1 with this thing) and I never know who's at fault because they blame me and each other. Next time I'm building a Windows SUPERCOMPUTER for that price.
