Can't believe I used to hate on this little nigga so much. Apple seemed so gay, overpriced, gatekept. As it turns out, gatekeepers with high standards and good taste are critical things at the top. Microsoft and Windows are shit and enshittifying further while Apple/MacOS hold the line. My boomer dad was right, Apple just works and they're committed to the user experience.

is /g/ just r/Apple these days or what

Yeah but he was also a fucking faggot and turbo schizo

>>105928236 (OP)
they stopped innovating a long time ago

Daily Reminder:

"People who want porn can buy an Android."

I'm not a /g/ native but it always seems weird to me how apple products are so hated on 4chan.

Like is everyone literally 12 or unemployed or something because irl no one gives a fuck which phone you use and most successful people seem to use iPhone anyway so if anything the hate would be the other way.

They'll enshitify like all the rest.

we're really sad about Microshit anon. Win11 is a disappointment and so is Satya.

>>105928727

Largely the association with fags and women, seen as style objects more than functional tools, and they used to be double the price as well.

>>105928738

I thought the India factory prototypes were failing and that most production is still in China. Jeets simply cannot manufacture like Chinx.

>gatekeepers with high standards and good taste are critical things at the top
Yup. Knuckle-draggers like to deny the role of expertise when it comes to culture, and deny that taste exists. Modern iShit still sucks tho.

stop cucking on apple in 2025 shitty ass money grabbing company with no improvement or anything

>>105928815
I will literally take "stagnation" over "decline." Every time I boot up Win11 it's a humiliation ritual.

I'm almost 40 and I can't help be amazed at what age can do to someone. Or the fact that we are not the young appearance we think is forever ours.

>>105928405
Apple is failing hard on AI shit, so they're dumping ad money everywhere they can.
Poltards think intelligence agencies are keeping this site afloat, but it's more likely than not covert ads.

>>105928874

Or, perhaps viewed a different way, everyone else is wasting time dumping investment into the literal dogshit that is AI while neglecting all of their core functionality and features leaving users disgruntled and looking for alternatives. Rule #1 of software: better to do fewer things well than to do many things terribly.

>>105928874
>Not partaking in a scam known as "AI"
And this is bad because...?

>>105928405
all poorfags will eventually leave /g/ as they run out of money. don't be mad.

>>105928236 (OP)
I got tricked into hating apple my whole life. I tried all other brands and they just suck in comparison. The high price is there for a reason. People are just jealous or extremely autistic if they purposely avoid apple products. I have realised that a lot of apple haters just parrot that retarded ltt guy who has already been proven he doesn’t know what he is talking about multiple times.

An Apple user told me that Apple products don't work well with the electricity of my country. I had a iPod Shuffle and it failed me out of nowhere after a while, so I went to another brand and now I know I did the right thing.
Louis Rossman complains a lot about Apple products, and he knows better.
Maybe when Steve was alive, and REALLY ahead of the company, Apple was different.

Sounds like somebody with the right level of technical understanding to use Apple

I use iphone because androids started to suck and I wasnt going to bother rooting and installing custom roms anymore since I had a full time job at that point.
I use apple for personal laptop because battery, I use apple for work laptop because better than windows for swe.
Personal desktop is prebuilt with linux :^)
I have used non-Apple ultrabooks and I will say some of them are pretty good, I used to love my XPS years ago. But nothing competes with M chips and their performance/battery in that form factor. I dont need a discrete GPU in my laptop either because I dont want to be glued to a wall socket.

That being said I wish I could install Arch on my modern MBP. It would be perfect.

i swung back and forth but mostly pcs (after amstrad and amiga)
in the late 90s/early 00s i had the imac G3, it was glorious
then in 2020 i tried to recapture that feeling after roughly 15 years of PCs and got a big imac
it is great but macos is just a windows that works nowadays whereas in the 90s it had its own personality and charm that were incomparable (but had no games so there's that; i game on the imac just fine now)
without covid i would never have shelled out all that money into a desktop tho to be honest: i was expecting our bank accounts to be seized so i went wild
all i miss a PC for is diablo 2 and skyrim (and quiet fans, ah my noctua, i miss you too)

they never innovated. they just took what already existed and made it high-end and user-friendly, in a just werks package.

>>105928236 (OP)
I used to hate on them outside of ipods just because I misunderstood them. Then I got an iPhone 4 and MacBook and realised it's greatness and how much it made sense.

Haven't touched apple since Steve jobs died though. They just seem gay now

Should I just buy one of those $200 refurbished macbooks?

>>105928833
This is sad but true. Microshit has only progressively gotten worse since xp.

>>105930583
What about the horrific keyboards?

>>105931168
I haven't had an iphone sonce the iphone 4. I was flabbergasted by how bad itunes as a program was when I had to switch from zune. I've had 3 samsungs since then.

>>105931237
if i need to get real work done i plug in an external but the current keyboards are good enough for me i dont really mind them, the trackpad quality makes up for it in navigating my workspaces and macos is the only functional desktop experience with touchpad gestures imo

>>105931260
I hate touchpads why cant they make one with a clit on it

Everything in life only gets worse over time. This is a law of fiat currency economies.

Semite rat with sloped forehead, tall forehead, greasy sleepy eyes and evil downturned eyebrows, so jewish. Apple is jewish and corrupt, degenerate, filthy. Jewish trash.

Apple is literally just Samsung from 5 years in the past. Just wait to see this shithole when Apple finally releases their folding phone and claims it's an innovation.

He doesn't know who his father or mother is. Literally a bastard.

there is no equivalent to macs

macs have:

doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>when pajeetOS runs out of RAM it swapfile rapes the SSD to death within 3 years
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>when the SSD dies it bricks your entire currybook because the EFI is stored on the soldered SSD to save $0.05
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>components serial numbered and tied to the motherboard to prevent repair and replacement (including battery)
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>riveted keyboard that requires total destruction of the chassis to replace
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>flexgate cables that are so brittle they crack from opening your screen past 90 degrees more than 2 dozen times
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>screens so fucking shit they have over 90ms response times (essentially 10Hz)
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>screen made from pajeet trash glass that cracks from temperature change in seasons or tape over the iBotnet webcam
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>so fire and explosion prone the FAA have banned them from all flights
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>uses phone CPU that's so shit it gets destroyed by decade old i3s from 2017 and can only "compete" by cheating at benchmarks in extreme edge cases with hardware accelerators
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs
>curryniggers at apploo get so full of sniffing their own currynigger silicon shit they ship currybooks with no fans and they run so hot they melt the keyboard keys
doesnt exist on 99% of PCs

>keyboards with 63.5% failure rate
unheard of on PCs, and yet you curryniggers defend it with "jus werx fer me!"
just because you're in the 36.5% survivor group doesn't make your currynigger trash any good
this list goes on forever
there's no PC laptop as total fucking currynigger shit as crapple's streetshitter books
they are the biggest heaps of steaming currynigger shit in the history of computing second only to curryPhones

failed ai rollout, failed siri update, rolling out a new user experience partially based on the ux from a failed product (vision pro) that is also a distraction from their failed ai rollout.
ios and macos are going backwards, and the only saving grace for macos is the hardware, despite it's lack of repairability.

You were right the first time when you said gay, overpriced, gatekept.

>>105928727
I don't like paying a premium and being locked out of features for no reason. Reminder, webm didn't work on Apple devices until a few years ago.

>>105933158
Does the apple store have emulators yet or do you still have to sideload? Does it have streamio yet? Or torrent clients?

the opposite is/was true. People who didnt use apple were hated on. Iphones used to gatekeep dating

i don't like that ios features are magically available now based on what country you are in, e.g. external payment processors or alternative app stores.

>>105928683
Based, he was trying to save us.

>>105928727
They had less features (no side loading, for instance) and stupid design decisions (no USB-C). Nowadays the line is a bit blurred somewhat with EU regulations forcing certain behaviors, and their competitors shooting themselves in the foot (no audio jack, limiting side loading, the consolidation of phone options, carrier limitations).

>>105928727
History shows that PC enthusiasts were budget conscious. OR they spend MORE in a cycle of addicting upgrades. More likely to spend time fussing with software/hardware configs. When Apple would sometimes make computers that were miles ahead of the PC industry it would make them shut up.

>>105928236 (OP)
>As it turns out, gatekeepers with high standards and good taste are critical things at the top.
I agree with this
Unfortunately Apple lacks someone at the top with taste to keep Alan Dye’s faggotry (junk-drawer design, illegible buttons because of the background, removing buttons to make room for more-rounded corners) in check

The budget friendly macs coming 2026 have me interested. It is just technically a rumor but it's more of a leak than a rumor at this point.
