(16,952 posts)10. Hate? I dislike their closed proprietary systems and policies
I am very much in the open systems camp, and fully support right to repair.
Apple and I stand apart on these issues, so I don't buy their products. I do have an iPhone that was imposed on me by work, so I am familiar with them. Plus some family members buy into their marketing.
I won't buy their stuff, but hate is the wrong word.
