Yep, I know.
I’m fully aware that such corporations will keep on existing, peddling their overpriced crap to people with more money than sense, I used to be one of them.
And that’s ok:
It won’t affect me.
I’ve reached a point in my life where battling PTSD and all the lovely things that come with it take every minute of every day so I’ve had to readjust my priorities and frankly, keeping up with the Joneses, waving the latest and newest of Apple’s shiny new offerings doesn’t even rank as high as my purchasing more **** bags for my dog, these days.
I use Apple devices AT THE MOMENT because that’s what I have while they still marginally “work”. (I use the term loosely, especially after this latest update)
I’m dropping Apple the minute my devices fail and going back to soup cans and string.
Seriously this high tech bs is becoming cretinous to the extreme and I get zero satisfaction, all frustration from it so I am clearly not the target audience anymore.
I don’t deny that Apple products serve their purpose for some, sure.
But not me.
For me, Apple now does exactly three things:
Generate stress, drain my finances and waste my time.
Once my phone and iPad fail, I’ll be going back to flip phones, newspapers and snail mail.
I just can’t bring myself to give a rip, anymore.
My life has taken a different turn.
