I was literally forced to buy a mac, and an iPhone, which are idling 90% of time.

If I would be able to compile and upload iOS apps on Linux, and run safari to test frontend, I'd toss both of them out the window that second.

Microsoft is providing VMs for free if you want to test if stuff works under IE/Edge.

Apple is providing a big F you, buy our stuff.

You are always free to not buy and just walk away from Apple ecosystem but we all know you are not going to do that.

Like, can you actually read, or are you trolling?

Should I tell my clients that I won't do iOS version of their app and that I don't care that their frontend will not have workarounds for bug ridden Safari?

I didn't have to buy Microsoft hardware to support Edge and Windows Phone.

I didn't have to buy Google hardware to support Android.

I had to buy Apple hardware to support iOS and Safari.

So no, I'm not free to not have a mac standing next to my real computer.

Oh hey you are back for more trolling.

Let me repeat what I said in a different way.

You can vote with your wallet but we both know you are not going to do that.

Dont bother trolling again. Thanks

If Microsoft would do what Apple does currently, they would be fined for forbidden practices.

Only thing keeping Apple safe is insanely low market share.

Sad thing, that this minority is also loud as hell, so you have to support them :(

And this means voting with my wallet against my will.
