Who cares about profitable. What apple should care is getting out great quality products. Apple “was” known for software quality...It’s a funny old world when a company taking more than 100% of available profits, and the most profitable company in the world gets bad press. I guess it’s all the hate, jealousy, and Schadenfreude.
tim said he believes in security/privacy. What happened now? It’s a company that deceives people. It’s a company acting as anti-consumerism.
Apprently when apple doesn’t live to their standards, it’s pretty obvious apple deserve to be hit with many bad presses and rightfully so. Many members here who criticize apple are the ones who truely wants apple to succeed by bringing out others products like mac pros and etc. many members here are PRO-CONSUMERIST. They believe in quality of the products. Apple these days is not the “quality” tech product. Just because they sell expensive products doesn’t mean they are top quality. Soldering and preventing users to upgrade themselves are considered anti-consumerism.
It’s not hate and jealousy. Only those who defend apple for their “crimes” would believe that.
