@FrodoSwaggins because conspiracies are fun:
- is it possible that iOS 12 is so much faster BECAUSE it was throttling to convince you to update?

Mechamod736y@FrodoSwaggins Also it's not just about the battery life. It's about the price, and the need to have only apple stuff (charger, headphones etc), and stupid ideas, like "hey, the next time to force our customers even more to buy our products, let's make a charger that is just for our products, or let's get rid of a totally normal and conventional aux/headphone possibility".

Then remove headphone port, make them buy a dongle. But they can't charge and listen at once, so make them buy another dongle. Then sell them wireless earbuds for a billion dollars, then sell them a wire for said earbuds! And then when they are sick of it all and just want to kill themselves, we can sell them an adapter and..."

aritzh7546y@FrodoSwaggins I consider myself against Apple for two main reasons:
1. Devices are heavily overpriced.
2. Closed source on everything.
EXTRA. Lack of free apps, and developers have to keep paying 99$/year
I admit it, apple makes great products, with great integration between them, and good software long-term support. However, I prefer a good bang for the buck, over a device that costs as much as a new gaming laptop.
I mean....
