so brutal, yet so true
---''sing a throwaway because I'm probably gonna get butchered for this. But whatever, how many fucks can one man spare. How many fucks can one man give before he has had enough.
Tim Cook is one greedy mofo. On a scale of an A through F, I'd give you a solid C-. And that's being really generous (unlike you, you son of a bitch).
Let's not even talk about how the polish of OS X and iOS has gone down over time. Let's not even talk about the bugs in every release, how every update leads people in with the constant hope of "this is the one, this the one which will make your device run like new". Oh man, let's fucking update. Oh wait, this shit isn't what they promised. Nah, let's not talk about any of that. Because that's not gonna change, is it? Planned obsolescence is the name of the game. Fuck your old customers without any lube, that's how we roll, am I right?Instead, let's talk your constant unwillingness to give a single fuck about your customers and your willingness to always give a fuck when your stinginess comes into play. You deny staingate on the MacBook Pro line up until the very end when you feel your pockets are threatened by a consumer lawsuit. Hell even Steve held a fucking press conference for antenna-gate while you highfived Jony on sales while iPhone 6's were being bent, many with no fault of the consumer.
16 GB of storage on a flagship phone which is supposed to last into 2016. And that sneaky little fuck Phil Schiller just jumps over it with the words "great customer experience" and "5GB iButt Storage" - Phil, I'd bet you any amount of money that you've personally never used the 16 GB device a single day of your life, and neither has anyone in your upper management, otherwise, you'd fucking know how much of a pain in the ass it is to work with the actual 12GB of storage so many of your customers put up with. One might think Jony would put some sense into Cook, but he's kinda busy working in the iPhone Thinness Lab, making the next iPhone thinner - that's all Jony is good for now (let's put the lack of even the simplest of design insights like a dark mode aside from the bright empty mess that was and is iOS7+, as well as the atrocious "all day hurr durr" battery life you promote - or maybe even the half assed implementation of third party keyboards or your rigid adherence to UI that you won't let people customize).
You refused to add 2 GB of RAM until you absolutely had to, which deeply hurt the consumer experience on Safari and most other iOS apps. Your iPad "Pro", expected to compete with the Surface, comes with a base of 32GB of storage and with half of the functionality, and the "Apple Pencil" sticks out like a sore thumb when you want to charge it - let's not even talk about the ridiculous pricing on the keyboard. Spread out those apps guys, we're going full iOS productivity levels here - large empty spaces, 4x5 app grid on a 13 inch display, you know the drill.
We're not even close to done. It's 20-fucking-16 soon, and apparently, you can justify selling a 4k iMac machine with a 5400rpm HDD which would have probably been considered outdated even a decade ago - this is supposed to last people more than a year? A PROSUMER DESKTOP - is that what you call this? You can justify decreasing the base SSD storage for the fusion drives for no good reason (except money, of course). You make your iMacs thinner for no reason (a desktop machine that's not supposed to be portable) while taking away features that people actually need.- people have complained about these exact same things with Apple since the 80'sinteliboy

- Yep - so true unfortunately. But a few voices of dissent won't stop the sheeple flocking to them like flies on shit.fadein11
- a few voices? the internet is an echo chamber of apple haters.inteliboy
- ha - true. I hate their marketing, not their products mainly anyway (although only use their computers)fadein11
- look I've been using McIntosh product since the old century and have seen the descent of it, if producing phones is what they are aiming for, the critics areGeorgesII
- valid if you use their products in a productive way, I've own every flavor of windows machine too and the shit apple is getting is totally tamed compare to whatGeorgesII
- MS was getting back in the days, fuck it, if you can not even point the glaring problem without being called a haterGeorgesII
- The guy deliberately chooses a 16GB iPhone to be able to complain about it?raf
- ^
I think you have a reading comprehension problem, he's saying it's ridiculous in 2015 to give only 16gb of space on a so called premium phone.GeorgesII - Really. It's not like you can't get a phone with 128 gigabytes if you want. I got 64 and that's fine.CyBrainX
- The complaints about OSX have been the same. I've never had significant problems. Microsoft has.CyBrainX
- What? Monospace hasn't commented yet? Any second now...formed
- @cybrainx - that's the point - they are heading dow that road with shoddy os updates etc.fadein11

- More Apple users than ever before. More complaints. All kind of makes sense I guess. People are dicks!Ianbolton
