It's what I do. I fix stuff --- and I know things.

lol You seem like the last person I’d ask for help. You would lecture the person needing help the entire time. Apple doesn’t sell phones that “need” to be fixed. You just don’t like how they work, and that’s fine. Doesn’t mean you have to show your ass any time anyone says the word “Apple”.

You just don’t like how they work

Yes, you're right. I just don't like companies who practice blatant profiteering at user expense. But in your case, I'll make an exception. Get ready to grab your ankles, a new iPhone is coming soon.

Very strange way to look at a company. By definition they are trying to make a profit.

I use an iPhone. I like the experience. It’s not my entire personality. It doesn’t define me.

You seem to want to live in a world where people are defined by their technology purchases because you believe your choices are better and it gives you a weird sense of superiority. It doesn’t, and you should really consider being less angry about it.

Excited to see what they release in the new iPhone, though. I’m sure it’ll be very usable, fleshed out features that I don’t have to deal with constantly to make work. After all, my time is my most valuable asset and it’s well worth the extra $5 or whatever a month for everything to work.

I'd like to see what Hector Martin -- you know, someone who actually knows something about Apple device internals -- says about this. He had a Mastodon thread recently on how full of shit Louis is about almost every engineering decision Apple makes. Apple prioritizes speed, security, and usability over repairability. Peripherals such as the touch screen in an iPhone or iPad, for instance, have signed firmware and enc…

haha, you forgot reliability for perfect joke.
