      Not hating you at ALL! Thank you for this video. It was well researched. Is good to see the ugly side of this company. Back in 2019, I changed to Samsung as Apple for me, had changed a lot as a company, and many called me crazy. Now Samsung has changed for the worst as well. Both companies just manipulate ALL of us via marketing schemes. Samsung does slow down their phones as well, and I'm feeling it on a Galaxy S22 Ultra. Not even a year and a half old, and its issues galore. Time for a change, but to what? That is the question 🤔

    I work in a repair shop and the part about repairability is getting worse every year. If they could get away with welding their phones shut they already would have.
    We have a contract with Apple which has 3 main terms:
    - Apple lets us buy their OEM batteries to do first-party replacements (these aren't available to the general public)
    - In return, we are only allowed to buy their batteries (no aftermarkets)
    - They provide us with the software to pair their batteries with their phones because they need special software to make them work
    The software has *never* worked and their support will do nothing about it. So we are stuck in a contract which effectively forbids us from doing battery repairs and there is nothing we can do.
    By the way, any iPhone after the 12 will disable FaceID if you replace the screen. Screen has nothing to do with FaceID but they'd love it if you bought a new phone so they make it really annoying to get it repaired.

      I use an iPhone because every android phone I had had some major issue.
      Pixels? It’s fun when your phone loses the ability to make phone calls until you reboot it.
      Android auto glitching to hell? Who needs your navigation to work!
      Samsung? They cost as much as an iPhone now so there is no longer a value proposition there and they copied a lot of the things people didn’t like about the iPhone and thought selling a note without a stylus was a good idea!!! (Yes I think they brought it back but still!)
      Yes 100% you can customize android a lot more and for the majority of my life I was an android fan. However having major functions (phone, camera and others) just hard crash on me and not work during times when I needed it was a massive strike against them. Oh and I upgraded my phone at least once a year so I always had the current devices. I’m not comparing a 6 year old android or anything.
      Also at the time I switched to iPhone they did in fact have the best camera on the market and even if a phone comes out with a slightly better one that is a singular thing it may do better under certain situations. Holistically the iPhone gives me a better experience when I need to be able to just pick up my phone and have it working. Not have the battery randomly drained, camera not working, missed calls because it can’t receive phone calls anymore etc.
      This isn’t even taking into account how nice their walled garden of their ecosystem is. That is more subjective so I’m not making it a main point but they do a very good job with it. I tried a bunch of android watches and never cared, the Apple Watch however has become a staple for me.

    I switched from Android to iOS and only lasted 8 months before I had moved back to Android. I thought I'd give it a shot after almost a decade of not using it, and although it was good overall, I do have many things I don't like about it, and also I hate Apple as a company.
    I just couldn't stand using it overall, it's far too restrictive, it dictates how you should use your phone. Plus, because they designed their phones to be unrepairable, in the case I accidentally break my phone, either I'd have to live with a phone with a broken screen, pay Apple for essentially the same value of my phone to repair the screen, or get a 3rd party replacement and have functions disabled, essentially rendering the phone undesirable in the case of selling the phone.
    Also, I believe the battery health mechanism to be a form of depreciating the iPhone to disrupt the second hand market by discouraging people from buying it, to encourage people to buy it new so Apple can get direct profits. It's also made worse by the fact that the battery is serialized to the phone, so phone refurbishment companies have to make do with what's left of the original battery, when they could've replaced the battery in the older models and it lasts as long as it can. With my Samsung devices, I can replace any parts, especially the battery where it's a consumable and will degrade overtime, it's nice that I can send it to repairs for cheap and won't have to worry about error messages or stuff.

    I agree with a lot of what you're saying but I feel like this is singling Apple out a little too much. Many points in this video could be applied to other brands, although they may not be as bad.
    I don't think USB-C in particular is the problem. The issue is that things are being adopted at different rates so you have a lot of peripherals that still use USB-A when computers are moving towards USB-C.
    Until we reach parity between the two, we're going to have problems on all laptops, although Apple is one of the biggest offenders. Some of the new thin-and-light laptops from companies like Dell are also sacrificing ports.
    A related note is that Apple tends to be the driving force behind a lot of trends, and other companies follow suit. I also agree that Apple tends to be more anti-consumer than most companies. The power that these big tech companies hold is dangerous.

      Connectors have always been a pain since I have been using computers, phones, and other tech, but at least we are moving toward commonality now between devices.

    I wish you'd gone into a little more detail on the ethical issues, especially their union busting and the #AppleToo movement that happened recently. The product elements are definitely an issue, don't get me wrong, but Apple prides itself on its image and its ideals. Looking more at how its ethical issues show that that commitment to social justice is skin deep at best also really highlights the reasons why Apple makes these choices with its products. I don't know if you were planning on doing a follow-up, but I'd love it if you talked more about those ethical issues!

    I agree, I have felt this way for 5 years now. I have been with Apple since 1988, I was in the printing industry where macintoshes made postscript easy to deal with, so why not follow them into a new era of digital portable devices? Well, that’s what I used to think, anyway. After several iPads and several iPhones I have had enough. I have used their computers for 30 years, they were always known to last a very long time. Now, Apple is no longer a computer company. The leader that brought us the bicycle for the mind has left us with cheap dead batteries in our hands. Sad. Cook can’t fix this. He will never let us change our batteries or the devices would work 20 years instead of 5, that’s why the software gets slowed down as well, 5 years is what you buy in to, not 20. Mega Corporations ruin everything.
    I just hope Apple keeps the Macintosh alive for another 50 years.

    Planned Obsolescence. I have a $5k doorstop: the G5. Still works great, solid equipment that never fails, but you can’t get on the internet with it bc Apple won’t allow it. This is totally heinous in that I purchased.$2k iMac in 2015 to replace the G5 and now that will be obsolete in a few years. It’s disgusting and 100% on purpose. And with Steve Jobs gone, there is no longer a genius behind the brand. I remember every year, something astounding would be added. There is no longer anyone at Apple to develop that kind of innovation. I love your point that if they cared so much about sustainability, they’d have fewer product releases. So true.

      This is weird. I just fired up a 12" Powerbook G4 (1,25GHz), much slower than a G5, and I was able to surf the internet, not many issues besides some slowdown. Google even works on even older stuff, like the Titanium Powerbook G4 (400MHz) on OS9, but most search results don't work.
      In my experience, most stuff from Apple from 2008-2018 has much life left in it. But since the M1 and closing down many options to extend software use (that evil security module), I have lost faith in their products.

      @@lovemadeinjapan I can use my G5 just can’t get on the internet bc Apple has no update for any browsers ( btw G5’s are Pentium Power PCs not Intel processors). My point was, I can use almost ANY windows computer regardless of age, may be slow, but still usable (if they didn’t blow up, that is). Mac/Apple is an embarrassment and they need to stop boasting about how they are net zero carbon emissions. Manufacturing perhaps but that’s double speak because the landfills say otherwise.

    You could do an entire video on 'planned obsolescence'. It's increasingly difficult to find companies, especially in the tech industry, that don't intentionally slow roll progress and build things with an intentional half life to drum up profits.

    Tons of great points in this video and as someone who uses Apple products and likes them, there’s no hate. In fact, I find it stranger that people who don’t use a product hate it when they don’t even use it. If they’ve used it before cool, but just because the experience they had was bad doesn’t mean it’ll be a bad experience for everyone.
    But anyways, a really good point was the whole update cycle thing, I really do dislike that but have come to think of it more as Apple trying to get SOMEONE to buy. Like I’ll upgrade my phone every 3 years maybe (when it feels slow or I have storage problems) and if there just didn’t happen to be a new phone that year then I might either go to a different brand or just not buy a phone that year. It still doesn’t mean that I like seeing a new phone every year and feeling like mine probably got nerfed but that’s the kind of reasoning I see behind the action.

    Apple limits anyone outside of the ecosystem. I can google duo all my friends on my Samsung and even iphone users can just get the google app and join the call. But there is no way for us to use facetime at all. Also group texts are horrible once an iphone user joins the group. Messages get delayed or double send cause it switches to sms. RCS is much better but apple doesn't support it.... It seems odd that back in the 90s Microsoft was sued for including software with new computers yet apple doesn't even allow you to use a different os on a new mac. You can't buy any mac without the os.

    The whole Green vs Blue issue is so weird. First, its not the other persons message that shows up a differant color, all receving messages are the same. It's your outword message that is a differant color depending on how it is sent. But, what people don't realiz is that Apple is the one that causes the issue becasue they again don't support, or allow other companies to use their messeging standard. You can tell that it's an apple issue just from when you have no internet connecablility and the message is sent as a Text message. More often than not, the Text that is send, never reaches the recipient or they recieve it multiple times becasue the "handshake" between your phone and the sevive provider is intermittent.

    I agree with you, except for the “changing ports every few years”. Bro, we’ve been waiting for 11 for Apple to finally put that great connector😂😭
    And also, Apple has switched to USB-C because of the EU legislation, so it will have to stick to the port that the iPhone 15 comes with

      Only for charging. There is no USB-C file transfers. No USB-C monitor support. No USB-C host docking to other devices. That is not how you implement USB-C.
