People who buy Apple buy the whole package, not only specs.

Yeah, like being forced to replace the topcase when the battery dies or having to repair the angle sensor 'cause it’s paired to the motherboard. But fuck sustainability and heil consumerism, I guess.
Not to say that I’m not an apple hater – because I certainly am – it’s just that there are quite a few reasons to be one.

You “apple haters” are just as dogmatic as fanboys, but you act superior because of it.
Don’t know where you’re getting either of those criticisms. You most certainly don’t need to replace the topcase when replacing the battery in any modern apple laptop, and the pairing of the LAS is for calibration purposes.
Insofar as there’s no ethical consumerism under capitalism, I agree. Is Apple better than most or as good as they say? Hardly. But don’t act like you’re some ethical tech warrior because you avoid Apple hardware.
Now, we can have a serious dissuasion about the questionable-to-downright-wrong decisions Apple (the business) is making, and I would think we are 100% aligned on that. I cannot wait until Cook is gone when maybe some sanity can return. Any criticisms of how they’re handling the App Store, their bending of the knee to Trump, and/or the sneaky upsells they’re including in the OS and default apps are fully shared.
