still running fine. This is not about how it *runs* but rather how it *looks*. They tried altering how some of their older hardware *runs* and were successfully sued for it. I'm just happy to be downstream of it ;-) So you'd be ecstatic if they installed a software update on your old laptop that intentionally degraded performance? Lucky for you, they probably won't try this stunt again after getting their hand smacked for it. |

Where did he ever say that? The point is as overpriced as Apple is (or may have been, before people point out that some Apple ARM computers are good value), it can be surprisingly durable and reliable. As mentioned you can get an old iPad second-hand for pretty cheap and it still gets updated and works fine.
My best friend is still using the iPhone 6S he bought 7 years ago, only replacing the battery once and received all the latest updates and was running fine (he won't get this year's major release, but it barely adds anything anyway).
Yes Apple is a shitty company, with shitty practice, and has a bunch of braindead fanatics. But some of their products are great, and especially if you look at the second-hand market you can get great value for your money.
