Correct, this won't be. Even 10 years ago when I was on Reddit, people tended to side with Android and androids in 2016 actually did kinda suck. 85-92% of all Lemmy users are that, guys like me who used Reddit when it was good and left when they asked for a selfie to "confirm my age" on my 15 year old Reddit account.

These days, now on the fediverse? Even Apple users hate Apple, Android fans are packing their bags and moving onto either GrapheneOS or SailfishOS, and no one is really a 'fanboy' of anything anymore. We hate even the shit we like.

Except me. I'm still a fan of eating ass.

    I got constantly down-voted in that cesspool for stating things like that. I like my librem for work, it's really just a mini laptop and still use an iphone for calls and watching anime.

    And you know it's things like getting constant reminders that your cloud is full, don't worry I know it's not with that one bug bringing pictures of my exes back. It's 900 days since you backed up your files! It's been years and you can't get the message that I won't be paying you money for your cloud crap? Insanity. Or let's update to having more shit you don't need! And kill your battery and slow your phone down. Didn't update? Well we still did a soft update.

    It was cool to get a apple 4s, now it's like what year is it? meh I don't care. And basically having a tablet sucks. I held my 12 mini recently and I was like wow; broke my finger so holding the tablet phones sucks. And I don't need 50 MB photos.

    The settings menu is a myriad like andriod now, I don't need a labyrinth of settings.

    Now that I think about it Tim Apple is a fan of eating ass, so we get to experience it as well! /s

    When did Apple ever cost less (than anything)? 2nd part is spot on.

    Before the time of enshittification, the implicit understanding was that every new model would bring significant new benefits at the same price (or minor price increase).

    I'm no spring chicken anymore and I don't remember Apple ever costing less.

    And their software has always been anti-intuitive.

    When did Apple ever do more and cost less, outside of the early 80s? The "Apple tax" has been around for 40 years. Regardless of whether it did more or less, and it's done lots of both over the years, Apple stuff has cost more for almost the entirety of their existence and you don't even need to specify what type of device.

    Which has always been true. They just don't sell cheap low perfomance hardware. It's like complaining ferraris are expensive, and then someone points out actually they have a lot of performance for what you pay for, especially when compared to Lamborghinis or Maseratis at the same price point... yeah...

    To be clear i haven't bought apple in decades and never will again. I used to be a big fan in the 2000s and 2010s though.

    When did Apple generally cost less?

    It’s only been sporadically that Apple released really good cheap hardware. The second or third geberation MacBook Air for example was a powerhouse for casual office work. Early M series as well had some good price points. But overall they’ve always charged a lot of RAM and peripherals.

    iPhone was always above market, ipad is premium priced (but feels like the only major tablet that gained traction).

    The Apple II line, the Macintosh line, and the Macintosh II line generally cost less than an equivalent PC (specifically an IBM PC 5150, XT, or AT), and most PC clones.

    Apple generally cost less from 1977 to 1993.

    Hence why Apple had a huge passionate DIY fandom who even made components and peripherals for those lineages, anywhere from custom memory and processor upgrades, to tape drives that can read almost any format, to predecessors of the "smart home"/IoT systems such as remotely controlling the baby rocker. The last I knew of was an internal floppy drive mod for the iMac.

    Now with planned obsolescence in mind, the current Apple regime is trying to disallow anyone from ever prolonging the lifespan of its products.

    Is this just a shot at apple or did I miss something and they're trying to "get rid of files"?

    They do their best to get rid of any structured file management.

    You can't even access anything but the user documents folder in default Finder anymore.

    Its worse on iphones, I was trying to manage a previous staff members iphone recently, and what the phones file browser, windows, and Linux could see were all different, and the phone file browser couldn't actually access some of the folders Linux could.

    Uh what? Are you saying you "cannot access" anything else because you have to give permissions when asked? Either way it's patently false. And I'm not a fan of 95% of the things apple does, so don't think I'm just blindly defending them. I use a Mac for work but I'd rather it be Linux.

    I think it is also wrong, apple has never been do more for less, I think OP is dreaming, the get rid of files is because iOS' file browser isn't a file browser, it is like Samsung's file browser, it tries to abstract away the idea of an hieracarchial filesystem which is just a horrible non sensical idea and is actively harmful to their users

    What's the latter portion referring to? I don't keep up with bullshit anymore so no clue what they're up to these days.

    Doing my part: downvoted, for being irrelevant for 20-30 years. Apple hasn't done much of anything to keep prices down for decades with some minor exceptions that pale in comparison to shit like a $1000-2000 phone.

    And them being shitty about hiding the filesystem on iOS is practically 20 years old now too.

    Apple now: “We are giving trump $25,000,000 to fund construction of his ballroom, which will eclipse the White House.”
