or an Android update system where three years of OS updates is considered generous, and the frequency/duration of OS updates is often tied to how much you spent on your phone.

I'd say anti-consumer is things like forcing bloatware and insecure utilities on Windows PC users (hi, Lenovo). My folks held on to their iPhone 6 devices for several years, and I'm still on an iPhone XS. Again, many people hold on to their phones for a while. Apple's problem was not disclosing this or giving users an option to take the risk of sudden shutdowns. It'd still work well enough if I didn't want the latest software features.Īs for the iPhone, the throttling was to extend the life of phones with worn-down batteries. Hell, I'm only replacing my eight-year-old MacBook Pro this year because it won't get major OS updates, and I want to remain current beyond security updates (which I'd still get).

The only people I've seen who upgrade Macs every couple of years are enthusiasts who'd do that no matter how well their old systems were running. His legacy has lived on to the detriment of everyone.Ĭlick to expand.The '00s called, they want their childish Apple stereotypes back. Jobs didn't want to have anything or anyone messing with his precious, and did his worst to make it happen. Not to say they weren't bad before that, they went downhill back in 1984 with the release of the Macintosh. Of course Apple users only see pennies on the dollar of this money, the lions share goes to the lawyers who litigate the settlements.Īpple is top of the list for being the worst anti-consumer company in the world, and has been for the better part of 20 years. There have been multiple class action lawsuits about this over the years, and Apple basically always loses and has to pay out millions. Apple hates you using their old stuff and will punish you for doing so, if you're not a good little iZombie and buy their new machines every couple of years, they punish you by dropping features or artificially slowing your iDevice down to try and get you to upgrade. None of those features require M1 silicon, Apple is just forcing obsolescence like they always do, it's nothing new.
