    Honestly, people who still buy apple phones are dumb fucks. No way to say this nicely.

    There’s a weird discrepancy where Mac Laptops are decent machines despite being on the expensive side, but iphones are just overpriced hot garbage locking you into an ecosystem.

      I’m not an apple fan, but this is just a dumb take. they have their place, even if it’s not under your ownership.

        iphones have a place about as useful as diamonds - as a status symbol alone. They are used to create out-groups and discriminate against poor people.

        The original iphone may have been useful - the update hype with ever more expensive BS is just milking stupid people for cash.

      I was honestly on the fence of getting a MacBook recently as my first newly purchased Laptop, but ultimately decided against it.

      Got a fully decked out ThinkPad P14s instead for about 1800€. Meanwhile the new M4 MacBook Pro starts at 1900€. But I agree that Macs still are good value compared other Apple products.
