Apple never had a "soul," it never had "values." The OP was just suckered by its marketing and the fact it was previously being sycophantic towards political groups the OP likes.

Now someone else in in power that the OP doesn't like as much. That's what changed, not Apple.

Yeah, but it's obvious the OP doesn't really care about that, as he spend paragraph after paragraph talking about anything but.

It's pretty clear the OP just had a delusional view of Apple, and is now only coming to realize things that have been true for a long time.
