Off-topic, but you have duplicated 'is' in the paragraph: "I couldn’t care less that the latest iPhone doesn’t have the best camera on the market. What does grate is is that I can’t even get a day’s charge out of it".

Oh yes, Apple is doomed as always.

It reminds me of this quote about programming languages, which could be fitted to almost any product/market:

> There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses. -- Bjarne Stroustrup

Not to mention that author's arguments are rather subjective, thus rather weak.

I do not use Apple's iPad, watch or TV (or any other brand's equivalents) and do not moan about that, because I have no use for those products and I guess that author does not have as well.

I only have a rMBP and I am not happy with every Apple's decision and/or product, but the fact remains - Apple is _consumer_ electronics company and most of their products are the best sold in the market and are produced in such quantities, that factories are barely keeping up to 'bake' them.

Well the title of the article is "Why I’m done with Apple" not "Why apple is dead". It's why Alex Wood is done with apple ant therefore the subjective arguments are very relevant.

I own an old iMac 27 and an iPad Pro I bought for drawing for which it is perfect. I use Windows 10 and Linux, so I am not too attached to any one of them (maybe Minix 4.0 next?). I did enjoy the article. It was a surprising and very funny read even though the title just seemed to be another 'done with' or 'why I left' articles.
