>still no alternative to apple

Why?

iPhone is probably one of the weaker products but afaik android phones still don't have proper LIDAD based face unlock, lots of them don't receive 5 years of updates and plenty of them have adverts everywhere. Tbf apple themselves did this recently but it's not as OTT

I don't think there any laptops like the MBA which are fanless, slim/light, barely heat up, extremely fast, extremely long batter life and excellent screen/trackpad/speakers. Like nothing has even come close since they switched to m processors.

AirPods might not have absolute best sound but work so flawlessly with iPhone/Mac

iPad, like no competition at all.

Then because of this they can charge extortionate prices and purposefully hold back tech like 120hz screens in base models or ridiculous upgrade prices for ram/storage cause what the fuck are you going to do?

Switch to the stinkpad which still has a fan, has battery life which lasts a couple hours and whirrs up when you load chrome? Switch to Samsung galaxy which still uses a finger print scanner? And yes I know apple have issues but nothing glaringly huge like the alternatives which is why they're so overwhelmingly dominant amongst upper middle class professionals and above.

This is just the most obvious flaw and it's amazing they still haven't got this when iPhones have had this for 8 years...

The only three things you could think of about android phones are
>face unlock which nobody uses
>update limits which only apply to phones which are much cheaper than iPhones
>something about adverts(?)

>LIDAD based face unlock
Wow. I'm surprised that a person exists who would buy a product specifically because of this. If I owned a device that had it I would turn it off. It's bad enough that you could unlock my phone by forcefully grabbing my finger and placing it onto the screen. I still don't want my phone unlocking without any intervention on my part. MBA is a piece of shit btw. You tards are overhyping it big time. The only reason you think it doesn't heat up is because you're a techlet who never does anything that puts stress on the CPU.

I asked deepseek to do summarize web searches about MBA thermal issues since I'm curious about how it has changed over time. I said what I said based on older models.
