White faggots

dwindling market share over many decades. switching to arm didn't help gain any new market either. can't repair them or expand them. apple's computers represent 30% or less of total revenue. nobody gives a shit. and if you look back through history of their sales, nobody has ever really given a shit except apple fans.

>>105681484
That's funny because the Mac is the only useful product Apple still makes. Everything else is just fashion accessories for women.

>>105681499
their macs are literally fashion accessories for homosexual men and children. if apple killed off their computer lines, nobody would actually care. people wouldn't be surprised by it either. they've been using the idea of "exclusivity" since the 1980s to sell overpriced trash to morons and it no longer works in the same way. there's only so many morons in the world. and despite being morons, they know what being burnt by apple's trash feels like. not great if you want repeat customers. also not great: new machine, same/more expensive price, barely any improvement in the specs. people have started to learn:
> hey, i have this $2k pc with expensive nvidia card.. i can just run mac os in a virtual machine
that doesn't help apple's sales either but not much they can do except seethe.

I use a Mac because I want a unix based operating system that isn't exclusively maintained by autistic neets in their free time. Apple has literally no competition in that space. It's as simple as that.

>>105681758
> unix based
anything can be unix based. apple pay a lot of money for it. it's not like it's given out for free or it means anything unless you're the kind of person that eats crayons.

You're a computer illiterate retard. Mac OS is a modified FreeBSD, perfected and maintained by highly paid professionals over the course of the last 40 years (since NextStep was first developed).

> *buys unix certification because it will sell machines to low iq morons that forgot how unix is just a brand name to slap on things in current year, if it meets minimum requirements*
> NOOO! NOT LIKE THIS!
> rambles incoherent nonsense about other operating systems
eat shit faggot. lmao. paying for unix certification, and then boasting about it like it's a selling feature.. this board is in absolute shambles. tell your wife's boyfriend that he needs to take away your ipad for being this sad.

>>105681914
Who the fuck said anything about "unix certification"? I merely stated that it's a unix based operating system, of which there are only two in wide use today. One of them is maintained by unemployed freetards living in their mom's basement while the other is maintained by actual professionals. Linux is for people who want an unstable, unfinished operating system that they have to spend 50% of the time fixing instead of doing productive work with.

>>105681930
> more incoherent rambling from a absolute fucking idiot
"unix based" is bought and paid for, with a license, that's completely meaningless in 2025. cry harder faggot. and it absolutely makes your extremely trashed out and prolapsing asshole twitch out of rage that people can easily point this out and demonstrate, with ease, just how much of a sad fucking moron you truly are.

>>105681961
Are you autistic or something? "Unix based" is just a description of what the operating system is. FreeBSD is unix based, Linux is unix based, Mac OS is unix based.

>>105681758
usecase for unix based operating system?

apple's profits might be fine, but their customer base has been shrinking every single year without fail
they're just milking the truly braindead iNigger subhuman fanatics even harder these days is all
it's not about scamming you with a $500 piece of fruit shit that dies in a year
now it's milking you with $200/year in iShit services in addition to trapping you with $1500 piece of fruit shit that dies in a year and trapping you in the walled garden
it's no wonder apple's customer base has cratered as even the sheep are waking up
the remaining tards are just being milked 5X harder to make up for it
