The "holistic" picture is still crap, unless you like being trapped in a walled garden. I don't.

Apple hardware and software has always been a small worldwide market share, it's just not as popular or as good as the fanboys think it is. For many people it's simply a status symbol and not a real tool for doing anything more than getting to have a blue bubble in text messages so the other fanboys won't laugh at you.

Oh, Apple Silicon you say? Every single test of it is done before thermal throttling kicks in, cutting performance to a fraction of what the peak is. So yeah, you get great performance for about 5 minutes, and then it goes to shit.

We've had to sue Apple in a class action over their faulty hardware, and we won. We just retired our last MBP, and good riddance. It was just so flaky and wouldn't play nice other systems on the network - and I used to be a Mac Sysadmin, so I'm not an idiot with this stuff.

We own Apple stock and would never buy another Apple product again. Fortunately fools and their money are soon parted, so we'll keep making money off them.
