As a long time Apple customer, I can confidently say their products and services are now absolute f*cking trash, and I will never make another purchase.

In the rush to deliver bunch of sh*t that I don't want, they have ruined everything I ever did want, and cost me time and effort that I will never recover.

F*ck f*cking you Apple, and especially f*ck all the f*cking Apple decision makers. Goodbye.
