Stop buying Apple products. I know you\u2019ve used them for most of your life, and I know it\u2019s inconvenient to move to a new brand because in most cases, you cannot take your contacts with you on various chat apps.
I know this is inconvenient. I truly do.
But Apple is not the company it was before. There is now no difference between an Apple computer and a Windows computer in terms of graphic design. I know this for a fact. I had to use both in college 20 years ago, and non-apple computers are now generally better for design work than Apple computers.
Most non-apple companies encourage self-repair of your own devices, while Apple refuses it. I also know this for a fact, as I watched Apple computers become slowly less reparable through the late 90s and early 2000s. Where I was once able to do the repairs on our office computers, we had to start sending out our Apple devices because they started gluing things down on their logic boards. Notably the glue they used was not heat-resistant and led to device damage should the heat sink system fail. But they did this because they wanted to dig more money out of their customers.
Apple software is also designed to fail. I cannot believe people are still buying new devices after the scandal where Apple was slowing their phones in order to force people to purchase new versions.
Apple hardware is designed to become obsolete. Motherboards and logic boards are designed to hold exactly what comes attached to them and will fail if upgrade attempts are made.
Apple refuses to work with software developers despite promises of cross-compatibility. One of the very first coding problems I discovered was to discover a gigantic hole in a software program that made a plotter (giant printer) compatible with iOS. This caused a memory leak, leading to necessary resets of the computer after every 2 feet of printing.
I know that it\u2019s not possible for most of you to just throw your devices away and buy a new one. I wouldn\u2019t be able to do that, either. But eventually there will come a time when you have to upgrade, and I encourage you to take the plunge and purchase a non-apple device. I don\u2019t even have a recommendation for you because literally anything is better than Apple. A rock that you write on is better than an Apple phone.
Unfortunately I expect to be shadow-banned on Apple devices because of this, and I\u2019ll try to report on decreased activity as much as I can.
It\u2019s time to stop trying to beg Apple to change. They won\u2019t. It\u2019s time now to just stop supporting Apple.
Stop wasting your money on easily broken garbage!
I have a perfectly working iPhone 6. I got it because the iphone 7 no longer has a headphone jack and requires you to buy Apple\u2019s shitty bluetooth headphones.
Last month Apple decided they will not be updating the iphone 6 to the new iOS\u2026 for no real reason. They wil still release bug fixes but are not releasing version 13 for iphone 6.
ALL apps in the istore now require you to be on version 13 of the iOS to download the app. HOWEVER apps I\u2019ve already installed and downloaded work perfectly.
There is literally no reason for this other to encourage consumerism and to put my perfectly working phone into a landfill.
I\u2019m upgrading to Android as soon as I have the money.
I\u2019ve already switched from mac to windows after Apple wanted to charge me $2000 for a macbook with only 100gigs of RAM. That\u2019s less than a fucking PS3.
Apple Products are inherently awful, and there is literally no benefit to buying them whatsoever. Other than to look like a complete tool.
Fuck Apple.
@argumate, you asked HOW tumblr was going to use the #girl stuff to put the 2010s to bed and not vice versa? This is how. We’re the furthest upstream part of internet culture rn, remember? We’re gonna foul Apple’s reputation ‘til they cry uncle.
