    see, apples a hard one… i usually agree with breaking companies up, but most of apples value comes from their extremely tight integration. would that be possible if they were separate? i don’t know - i wouldn’t want to lose the value that i get from apple products

    like, how would that work?

    you’d usually split like hardware and software, but we have m series chips and macos working so damn well because they collaborated really closely

    or iphone, mac, homepod? airdrop between devices, airplay, etc is pretty seamless and i’m not sure how well that’d work if they were separated… and again the m series chips are there because they planned for scaling up an iphone to mac size quite a while ago

    retail maybe - that could be a good option, but honestly probably a drop in the ocean and wouldn’t solve anything

    perhaps if they separated app store from the rest of apple, or music - like a services division? they’re not so tightly integrated (yet)

    or perhaps they should just be separated and be made to deal with it - then we would hope they don’t get a bunch of shit business majors in to run them who don’t understand apple and want to make their turf as profitable as possible… but that always ends up happening eventuallly

          no, its because they come up with all sorts of egregious and nonsensical arguments to defend apple no matter the shitty thing they do.

          if an apple product was killing babies they would bend over backwards to justify how it cant be apples fault.

          their marketing did a number on peoples head, in a scary fucking way.

          no way i would ever justify the shitty things google does just because I use a fork of their os on my shitty phone.

            they come up with all sorts of egregious and nonsensical arguments

            In the first sentence, and then

            if an apple product was killing babies

            in the very next…

            If Apple users are horrible, logic like this ensures that “fanboy” haters remain a tier worse.

              you are bending over backwards to misinterpret what i said, and you prove my point somewhat.

                They didn’t bend over at all. You literally made a ridiculous argument while complaining about other people doing that.

                You really think if Apple killed babies people would be ok with that? Of course you don’t.
