The Apple CEO doesn’t seem shy about getting cozy with the Trump regime.

    But it’s Cook’s presence that seems to be sparking the most discussion online, even though this isn’t the first time the Apple CEO has been seen hobnobbing with America’s worst family.

    Nice.

    This is how all articles should be written post-Trump and -ICE.

    The time for gentle expression has passed. Speak the truth and express disdain while you still can.

      My fellow kin. I learned that in grade school when the other kids started getting iPods. May your day be well.

    Apple fucked their own customer base over by shortening the phones battery lifespan from afar so the rubes would have to buy new phones. I still can’t believe all of the apple customers did not make some sort of stand afterwards. That’s Tim Apple for you.

      You’re using it wrong. You’re supposed to turn the phone on when you need to make a call, then turn it off directly afterwards.

      /s (and also a fun throwback to “you’re holding it wrong” on their phone where holding it in your hand screwed up the reception)

      Apple did a lot of real shit. The battery thing was nothing. They batteries in those phones had defects that would cause affected phones to crash. So Apple limited the amount of power the phone could draw all at once from the batteries to prevent crashes.

      People bitched it slowed them down and forced them to buy new phones. Nobody was forcing anything.

      Apple puts a function in their phones to reduce battery wear and make the phone last longer, something objectively bad for Apple and good for the consumer.

      People bitched the battery life per day was shorter.

      Guys, there are plenty of real reasons to hate Apple. The battery thing isn’t on that list.

        In theory it sounds like nothing but in practice it’s a different story. Apple batteries are notoriously shit so when phone went from being able to sustain a full day to dying at the end of the work day it stopped being an useful gadget and became a dead brick. So yeah people were forced to buy a new one to have a functioning device.

        It depends on what you are willing to ignore, I guess. For me, the battery thing is high on that list.
