Sure but on the other hand as someone with a pretty recent Apple Watch on my wrist I am very happy whenever Apple suffers a loss and loses money.

"I am very happy whenever Apple suffers a loss and loses money"

That is a bizarre take.

You can't pretend that Apple doesn't set themselves up for the criticism. They're the largest company globally, completely control all major facets of their devices and struggle to admit to adamant and obvious design failure (eg. Butterfly Keyboard, anti-repair DRM, single-vendor App Store, browser lockdown, etc.).

When Apple is wrong, fixing the problem yourself isn't always an option. Reactions like this shouldn't surprise you if you've seen what HN has to say about Meta, Microsoft and Google.

It is a bizarre take, see also the train wreck of a discussion about Beeper and Apple.

Apple products are so much better than the competition that even their haters buy them.

Garmin watches are still substantially better, imo.

I hate what Apple has become, but they make the best laptops, so I buy them.
