The problem with Apple products.

This is why I'm going to get a PC, instead of a new MacBook. It's cheaper, and has better performance.

The problem with Apple is they hoard your money. New devices yearly or you are forced to update (and then slow down) your current device. Selfish interface and pricey repair (if there is)

Apple products are fine in terms of quality, in regards to value for money however they're awful. To enable the level of customization any android phone has by default, you would need to jailbreak your iphone this for me is and always will be a deal breaker.

imo Apple is way too overpriced (for the shit you get). ofcourse, it's all your own preference but i would never buy an Apple product.

I notice Apple slows down an older gen product whenever they release a new ios update :/ Basically their way of trying to get you to purchase their newer model shit

My iMac was $3000, and the headphone jack doesn't work.

Apparently AppleCare only lasts for a year, go figure.

I think apple is far too restricted but it is for security purposes. Once you got your device jailbroken you're set. I recently jailbroke my iphone x, wouldn't go back unless forced to

I never really liked any of the apple products, but I've recently bought myself an iphone 8. Haven't had any issues with it so far.

I'm iTzMilzy; a hardcore Apple fan.

I own:
MacBook Pro 15" 2017 (Radeon 560 Pro)
iPhone X
iPad Pro 12.9"
AirPods
Apple Watch (1st Gen) [may upgrade if circular faced watch are sold].

Sigh, Apple...
Over the last couple of months I've had to make at least 10+ visits to the Apple Store. No... Not necessarily to purchase anything, it's because they're constantly breaking. For example, my MacBook Pro has already had its 'Logic Board' (Apple's calling of Motherboard) TWICE. First was because the touch bar stopped working suddenly and the second because the WiFi stopped working despite trying the best steps possible. Luckily, they were both covered by warranty; it's the 3-5day wait that pisses me off. However, no issues with it so far.

iPhone X:
I purchased this phone a week after it was released (and got it the next day). A few weeks later, I discovered that my AirDrop was not working. Knowing me, I like to transfer a lot of media files locally (to troll, or just for real). Got an appointment, and replaced it happily. Went home, and a few months later; boom. Big scratch on the screen. WTF?! Whatever. I got a new Belkin Screen Protector for around $40. Welp, that cracked eventually, not because of accidental damage, but the manufacturing error. Got a new one for free, and it has been fine so far.

iPhone Silicone Case:
It's shit quality. My nancould probably do better. I've had to replace it at least 6+ times, due to the sudden ripping. Now, it may be my cause, because of the sharp edges of the iPhone X buttons which cause it to tear the case. If you drop it, you've got a huge scuff on the case. Looks disgusting. To be honest, I take great care of my phone; however I dropped it once from like 40 cm off the ground and that scuff appeared as if it was dropped from 3 metres.

AirPods:
Fine, but the paint wear from inside when you drop it goes off easily. I must admit, I do drop the case sometimes; however the paint just wears off. It looks fugly. Not sure how to further explain.

Apple Watch:
Replaced it once. Cause? Wasn't passing the black charging screen.

iPad Pro:
Works fine. No issues, finally happy (quality and service wise).

What are your thoughts [specifically people who own Apple Products]?

Apple just isn't worth buying. The apple tax is simply too high, and the dumb down the os on all devices to make nearly anything out of the box related simply impossible.

problem i have with apple products is they slow down each time theres an update so you end up upgrading because your phone is sl;ow as shit
