I don’t trust the privacy claims at all. Plus the planned obsolescence is a huge turn off.

This got debunked
Link?
Can’t see Twitter threads any more; can you threadreader and unroll and share that link?
You can still paste any thread link into threadreaderapp dot com even if you don’t have an account.
That’s a huge help, thanks!
I still don't trust them 😂😂 but thanks for the correction did not know it got debunked.
"We deliver consistently good quality that lasts for about a year until you need to buy another one of our overpriced products to maintain that same quality."
My Macs have all lasted about five years, and most iPhones at least two to three. I could’ve probably used them even longer, but willingly chose to upgrade.
In fact, my bitcoin core node runs on a 2015 MacBook Air I wasn’t using anymore.
I have a PowerBook from ~2004 that still works fine. It’s grossly outdated but it felt top of the line back then 😂
Which is to say: the second-hand or refurbished market for macs is very high quality for the price, especially when you can start to get M1-M2 computers for ~$300
That's not really saying much. You can run core on a potato
Sony and Activision both updated theirs today. 😬
As I understand it, the “planned obsolescence” aka devices slowing down is a means of preserving battery life as it ages.
And I’ll be frank, my Apple devices have all had far longer life cycles than my Android phones or PCs.
