It’s unclear what you mean by this, or what you are using as the criteria for being a pro consumer.

Their stance on user privacy, especially with iPhone in comparison to android, is certainly a good example of very pro consumer attitudes.

Proprietary connectors, overpriced hardware, high cost barrier to entry, closed ecosystem.

I much prefer lightning to USB, it’s cheap and easy to become a Mac or iOS developer, and also greatly prefer the security of a closed ecosystem.

And when you use your computer 2,000 hours a year the extra cost of Macs per hour of work is trivial and the benefits are great.
