Where are all you Apple haters when we need you? I was expecting my new iPhone today and just got notified of a 2-3 week delay because “unprecedented demand”
I ordered the day orders open (admittedly evening of) and we were getting excited, planning a dinner and stuff, time to explore the new features …. Now we need to wait?
I’m right here.
I hate Apple for their deceptive marketing, refusal to properly implement technical specs, outsized influence on competitors’ designs even when completely unwarranted, totalitarian control on their vertical slice, excessive cost for hardware, privacy violations masked as privacy, and rampant rent seeking behavior.
That doesn’t mean that people don’t still like them. It just means that the anti-consumer and anti-industry behaviors they employ aren’t deal breakers for people even when I think they ought to be.
Go ham, enjoy your phone (whenever you get it) and I’ll enjoy something better for me.
