Top 10 Biggest Apple Controversies
These may not all be true, but Apple is undoubtedly one of the most controversial companies in existence. These controversies have become more notable in recent times. Who's worse: Apple or Microsoft?If things like this are true, I'm never buying any Apple products again because Apple seems like nothing more than a greedy, money-hungry company to me.
There are rumors that Apple plans how long they want their products to last, and after this time is up, the product becomes obsolete. They would plan when to release the next version after the current one on the market and schedule its obsolescence for that time. This would be done so consumers buy the newest Apple products, effectively moving more units and bringing in more money for the company. Apple doesn't care about the consumer. They care about the money!
How about we make the batteries in our products non-replaceable so that when they wear out, we can rip off the consumers? Yeah, that sounds good! We've got them there.
By "obsolete," I mean when they release a new iPhone or another device, they produce "updates" for the older ones that slow them down. This is part of the series on planned obsolescence.
Need I say more?
Before this, Apple used standard Phillips head screws. Now, Apple has essentially locked users out of their devices so people can't attempt their own repairs, further costing consumers money. Anything that puts money in Apple's pockets seems fine by them. It doesn't matter how much they upset their consumers.
To go further, there are also rumors that Apple replaced the screws of products being sent in for repair without the owner's permission or acknowledgment. The good news is that people are making their own pentalobe screwdrivers, returning the middle finger given to them by Apple.
Further increasing their revenue by introducing a new adapter instead of the standard USB... sigh. Does it ever end with Apple?
This. Is. Ridiculous. Stop. It. Now. You. Are. Wasting. Money. And. Time.
Chinese workers are forced to work more than 12 hours a day to make components for Apple products. This is pretty messed up. There have even been rumors of suicides due to the excessive working hours.
Reportedly, Apple uses offshore entities to evade billions of tax dollars. Just pay your taxes, you miserly douches.
