Please stop being selective.

Hyperbole is hyperbole, even if you like the message.

My biggest issue are the double standards.

>Security, usability and durability

Marketing is necessary to bring up as Security and durability claims have been debunked enough times. Perception isn't reality, but similar to Tesla and Jeep owners they have high satisfaction despite objectively poor qualities.

You only need to try giving your grandparents a iphone to realize usability claims are greatly exaggerated.

There's a huge disconnect between informed consumers and the average Apple product owner.

I read an ancedote from an aspiring SWE that after he saw the Apple product he couldn't afford, he knew he needed it.

People aren't buying because quality reasons, they buy because of various psychology tricks their marketing department is responsible for.

It creates a system where developers are dragged along to support 100% of users.

What is the control?

I had 4 friends tell me about their mental health collapsing since the April lockdowns. 2 have started taking lots of drugs.

Heck before I started this new job, I might be technically depressed. I had never felt like that before.

Hyperbole is against the rules here. You should refer to it as tax funded healthcare.

As a note I'm not against healthcare reform, but it's against the HN rules.

It should be noted that practicing hard movements will train the PNS to fire all at the same time.

No extra muscle necessary.

I'm not sure Apple is any better, you have safari and apples ecosystem.

Dangerous games you are playing when you give into Apple.
