Apple is generally on the side of customers, but this is a clear example of how anti-customer-friendly their policy was. As a customer, I had to jump through hoops to buy a book on their premium platform.
OTOH, every Apple owner I know has an AppleCare plan. And has had to use it. Multiple times. For nearly every device they own. And this is a sample population of over a thousand over more than a decade.
Yes, Apple service is great. I couldn't tell you what Dell Service is like, or Lenovo, or HP, because I've never had to use them. PC laptops and Android phones...just work.
And given that Androids are more popular in the parts of the world where reliability is essential, it's pretty clear that most of the world agrees that Apples are the inferior device.

I think you mean a 43% price increase?
I thought the standard fee was 30% for in-app purchases?
Observe: 0.7 * 1.3 = 0.91.

Off the top of my head: - Substantially poorer performance - Keyboard is less accurate - YouTube videos can’t be played on the lock screen without some tricks - Apple Maps (it is basically at parity now, however). - Translate feature doesn’t have a copy button - The storage bug - No option for manual cache clearing - SMB protocol doesn’t work with Windows and doesn’t display error messages - File transfers are substa…

This is obnoxious and you’re wrong about it.
> It sounds like you just don’t like apple to be honest.
Astute, I don’t.
> It just works
It doesn’t.

I’m talking about the Translate app, not the in-line translator. If your text exceeded a certain length in the Translate app you couldn’t even select it. They might have fixed it in subsequent versions, but I wouldn’t know.

Good luck trying to paint the picture that AppleCare is a waste of money. I've owned hundreds of Apple products since AppleCare became a thing. I've "had to use it" once, and that one use replaced a $4500 product for $0. The ROI on AppleCare always works out.
Android devices and PC laptops don't need service plans. But as you've demonstrated, Apple products do. Even the $4500 ones.

Try canceling prime. Then try canceling any Apple platform subscription.
Cancelling Amazon Prime took about 15 seconds. Do Apple users have the attention span of a toddler?

It appears you don’t understand how iOS apps work. Have you ever tried building one?
