As someone who in an earlier era self-described as an unapologetic Apple fanboy, I’m surprised by how quickly and comprehensively they have flushed all that good will away. I was already critical of their increasingly visionless product strategy. And I had already tired of the repetitive, self-absorbed marketing. But, to see them capitulate to a fascist party on several symbolic points is too much. If they’re willing to fold on trivia like the Gulf of Mexico (in Maps), and fold on problematic platforms like Musk’s Twitter, then I have to assume every claim they make, (like their commitment to privacy) is equally hollow. JFC, I hate Apple so much.

I can see why they were not before with the lack of an appropriate level of nazis content to befit apple devices. Im stating to think they will go the way of tesla. Would be funny if iphones and apple laptops became a redneck thing and city folks were putting lables on their laptops saying they bought them before.
This was very disappointing to see
Apple doesn't appear to stand for many of the things they used to (or at least I guess what I thought they maybe stood for)
It feels like so much of their marketing of values is just that ... marketing
😕
Apple has had their arm twisted by the goon squad. That is all.
Kiss the ring or wake up with horse head in your bed.
