Heh, there are still folks who actually grasp nuance… I have an iPhone, despise Apple in general, but consider their business disputes on a case-by-case basis. So for example, Apple is right to ignore Facebook’s plea to be allowed to track users, and simultaneously wrong in its App Store monopolistic money-grabbing.

Generally for Apple, I like their hardware, not their software. It's why I have a MacBook but also an Android phone, because I like their battery life but also because I can install whatever software I want, on either.

Same… Apple software has, for a while, been going steadily from “just garbage” to “dumpster fire floating through a river of sewage”.
