Such a clear and well thought out post covering all angles. Super cool you to see my post as a reference! I use apple for work and personal and to me, they do build superior products that last longer and feel more cohesive to my needs personally. But their attitude as of late is very concerning and while my concern aren’t making me switch immediately, given the amount of time and nohow it’ll take, I am dipping my toes into understanding what are the alternatives out there.

So it’s the slow, gradual erosion of my trust that apple is losing that may cause me to look elsewhere in the next couple of years when it’s feeling like the apple product I have is near the end of its life. I’m conflicted because I want them to do better, but to avoid getting burned, like I said above, it’s time for me to learn about more open options.
