oh, i don't think tech professionals or software enthusiasts are majority share holders of apple's bottom line

Ah so it's someone else's fault you keep contributing to the problem, gotcha.

Whenever I read this kind of comment, specially about Apple, I always wonder: What are you suggesting we do?

If the answer is "just don't have a tablet and buy a FairPhone or a feature phone, have less tech", I think that's coherent.

But if the answer is just "don't buy Apple, but continue to buy", I'd say they're all just as bad at best, way worse in general. Apple devices have a longer supported life, although others tend to be more hackable.
