Me: I am SO angry at Apple right now for a variety reasons that I will explain in detail to anyone who asks/

Also me: I finally ordered an M5 iPad Pro (even tho that means my M2 iPad Pro's Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are now useless -- I can keep the Pencil for the lost iPad mini, I guess) that I get tomorrow and will probably be buying my husband a refurb M4 MBA and am also looking at getting another M4 Mac mini...

I'm the fucking worst.

@film_girl Replaced both my desktop and laptop last year by giving money to Apple, which left a bad taste in my mouth for many of the reasons you listed in the replies. My line is I have never and will (probably) never contribute to Apple’s recurring Services revenue.
