I'm mainly frustrated by the lack of advancement in the Macbook Pro line. I have a 2014-ish MacBook Pro and accidentally got water on the keyboard. It works fine with an external keyboard. Instead of paying 400 dollars to get the keyboard working again I chose to buy a refurbished Macbook Pro from 2017.

What was super frustrating was that the specs are almost the same after a three year gap. I still have 8GB or RAM and still have a 128GB SDD. The processor and has double the cores, but overall it's not the kind of improvement you'd expect from a three year difference.

Instead it's thinner and only has USB-C inputs. I would have never chosen to buy this machine on the merits alone.

I'm in the same boat with the iPhone by the way. I have an iPhone 6 and really see no reason to upgrade. It works well enough for me and I have no appetite to spend 500 or 1000 dollars on a phone that will do the same things for me.

And yes iTunes is a disgrace. I've switched to Spotify for podcasts and most music and it's far better.

Well that could have been 32GB and 2TB in the 2018 if you wanted?

Apple charges ridiculous prices for SSDs and RAM.
