        Up until you want to do anything Apple doesn’t approve of. Like, say, sideload apps that aren’t in the app store. Or install an alternate OS. Or get root access to your own damn device. Or swap out parts yourself. Or anything beyond being a boring-ass social media consumer.

          or keep using your device after you dropped it. or keep using the same device long enough for the battery to wear out. or use the same charger on your phone as you would use on any other device.

          it’s frickin ludicrous how apple users whose devices break prematurely just go and buy another device from apple, as opposed to doing the sane thing and buying from a different company. like after my lenovo laptop wiped its own bios on a forced “upgrade” i’m sure as fuck not buying lenovo, but if an apple device encountered the same error 9 out of 10 users would just go and wire daddy tim apple another $1500 for a replacement. like wtf, why would they not enforce failures if that’s how their users behave

        Sure, in prison too everything just works, plus you have 3 meals a day and a lot of spare time. You just get fucked by some stronger dude any time he wants.
        And that’s exactly Apple: it fucks you any time he wants.
        Want the new OS on your totally capable 2017 pc? Fuck you
        Want to use your warranty but you used an off brand charger onca at your friend’s house? Fuck you
        That would be 2000$

          Testimony: I use a 2015 iGPU rig with an i5 6500 and 16gb ddr4.

          Runs well, I can do all sorts of things on it.

          If some game doesn’t run well and I got cash, I’m taking a bus to SP road and buying a good used GPU.

          Cheap, reliable, serviceable. Only 1 of which apple’s products are.
