  • I agree, it’s convenient to have a lot of that stuff work right out of the box, but then some obvious stuff, like making a slideshow from pictures on a usb device, or printing to PDF, or using network printers on mobile is either needlessly complicated or impossible (Odd examples but I’m not a daily Mac or iPhone user, these are just things I’ve encountered working on other’s devices)

    Apple absolutely can do some great things, but I cannot overlook their anti-consumer practices towards the right to repair. The fact that aftermarket parts have to reuse a chip for the sole reason of marking the serial number the same as the original is ridiculous and should be illegal.

    Also Apple devices are only more “private” in the sense that the prevent third parties from collecting your data (don’t get me wrong, this is great), but then proceed to go and collect the same data for their own uses instead.

    Another baffling thing I found is that you can’t transfer files from the device if iCloud is enabled? That’s fucking crazy to me. I get that it’s not a common thing to do but I had multiple customers ask how they’d get something off, and the answer was to slowly download it from the cloud, if it was something that happened to be backed up.
