Why I don't like Apple
Here you need to feel the thin line between "apple" and "apple products". I love Apple products, I believe that the iPhone is one of the best phones, and the iPod is the best player. But company policy is just awful. You can talk a lot about it, but here are two main factors that push me away from Apple.
1. Closeness. I consider it obvious that open platforms and free software are a necessary stage in the evolution of both technology and society as a whole. Apple is the most closed. Their computers, their systems, their rules. Well, let them release the phone, give the SDK, give a convenient online store, thanks! Only now there is no need to dictate which programs can be put on my phone, and which ones should not. Do you want to sell unwanted programs through your store? No problem! Give only the normal way to install software to bypass the store!
Well, to hell with you, we will find the way ourselves. In, found! Jailbreak will have to do! Well, we do not disassemble or break anything. Oops! Now it turns out we lost the warranty!

Is something not working in the new OS X update? You have only one way out - wait for the next one.
Imagine that one day you bought yourself a great, beautiful, expensive car. Everything is cool, just a couple of nuances. You can not disassemble / repair / modify. Want to put a non-standard radio? Put, God will judge you, only the warranty on the car is lost. Want to get some cool leather seats and transfer to your old Honda? Even God will not forgive you for this, this is already a violation of the law!
2. I have a feeling that Apple’s tactic is to produce good products and devices with low capabilities. So that two years after the release of the iPhone, which then had a web browser, a revolutionary interface, youtube and other goodies, in the next version of the firmware, finally add copy & paste. Release the phone and player, which are pocket computers, but prohibit installing programs on them, and then, eventually, open the store ... Release the operating system and update it with updates. Here and there, I hear indignant cries of users updated to the latest version of Snow Leopard: it has fallen off, it does not work. And it remains only what? .. That's right, wait for the update. Or from software developers or OS developers. If you recall the comparison with the car, then a situation comes to mind when the official car service of the manufacturer of your car you put new wheels, and the radio tape recorder in the cabin stopped working.
