I work in retail....it's ALWAYS the people with iphones that bitch and complain that we don't have stupid apple pay. Like, literally nobody with an android or samsung has ever bitched about not being able to use google pay or samsung pay. Like..........the world isn't going to spend the money to get a stupid terminal for contactless payment..........GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKING stupid iphone users!! Take your apple pay and your NFC chip and shove it up your ass. Google had google pay LONG before apple pay was around anyway.
Appleid security is so good that I can't even use my own phone. Is there any way to circumvent logging into my apple id, because I can't, and put apps on my phone without the use of the app store.
So my wife and I are thinking of switching providers and we will be upgrading phones when we do too. So the guy at the store was saying that we could do a trade in. He repeatedly said how we'll get a better trade in with my wife's iPhone because they're much more expensive phones.
Turns out that even with my cracked screen the trade in values are the same between our phones.

How does anyone use this application and not end up flinging their iPhone at a wall with significant force? Is it just me or is it that this application isn’t actually meant to be used? Don’t ever try editing a vertical video, the type for literally any social media app such as TikTok or Instagram, and you may just end up crushing your iPhone with a rock in a fit of seething rage when you realize that one tiny edit you wanted to make, such as doubling the video speed, ends up saving the video as a tiny square with 75% of the content missing. Or just try seeing behind that gigantic timeline editor to see what the hell it is you’re editing, good luck. It’s enough to make me switch to Android but that leads to a whole new set of enraging problems.
Please dont assume I’m spoiled because of the title i worked for months to save up to buy it.
I had always wondered why any purchases i made though the App Store always had an extra dollar or two added come to find out apple is allowed to tax on virtual content. Maybe I’m just dumb but how does that make sense? Like I already payed 10 dollars for procreate and you’re gonna add extra without even telling me it’ll be on my bank statement? It’s probably in the TOS but when your in an apple store setting up your device they don’t really give you time to read through it. They need to add a warning or something because pallet KNOWS people don’t read the tos. I’m already broke as is and every time i use Apple Pay they take a fee. ;-;
The other day I, my father, and my stepmother went to buy an iMac for my dad and I (mostly me) to write software on for our family business. Much fuss was made about the amazing M1 chip, which the lady at the Best Buy informed us was the best processor on the market.
Fuck. Off. The idea that it's a miracle work of computing power is patently bullshit. One Google search that that's blatantly untrue. Apple actually claims that it has the best performance-per-watt in the world (I'll just take that at face value since I have no particular reason to doubt it), which is certainly impressive, but has nothing to do with being an exceptionally fast processor. A low power consumption is a useful thing for a phone or laptop, but means jack shit for a desktop. I was frustrated by the page on Apple's website where they're jerking themselves off about their oh-so special chip, but it's all "this chip is 4 times faster! (than the slower chip we tested it against)." I'm sure it's a fine chip with interesting engineering, I'm sure having everything integrated so you don't have to copy memory buffers between devices improves speed (for certain uses), but the pretentiousness about it was obnoxious.
Another point of worry was my stepmother's concern that we should get one with an M1 so I can make sure that the software I write is compatible with it. Yeah, I can't do anything about software compatibility. I'm working in .NET; it's Microsoft's job to make it compatible. Admittedly that's not actually Apple's fault, but it's a rant, so who cares? Turns out it just uses ARM anyway, so they didn't even design a new instruction set. Since they've moved to ARM, they have an x86 emulator to natively run software that wasn't compiled for an M1 chip, which is handy. Unfortunately, it breaks when I try to run my console app with a whole two threads.
The whole computer makes me feel like it's annoyed at me for wanting to do things my own way. Sure, let's make the scroll wheel go the opposite way that it's conventionally gone for 30 years and call it the natural way. Oh, you want it where "up" goes "up" and "down" goes "down?" Guess you're just an unnatural kind of guy! I can't stand all the cutesy flowery animations that make the icons hop on the dock, or how minimizing a window makes it squeeze and zip down, or how a file gently glides where it's supposed to go. I want my computer to be utilitarian, which is the opposite of the Apple philosophy "we'll add a bunch of pretty bullshit so it seems friendlier." I had to go searching online for a command that lets me install whatever software I want! Why does that option have to be locked behind CLI bullshit? (CLI bullshit isn't exclusive to Apple by any means, though.) Why can't that just be an option by default? I get why that wouldn't be the default option, and I wouldn't make it the default option either if I designed an OS. But I know what I'm doing, stop being so condescending! That software isn't a virus. I know because I WROTE IT!
Neither I or my dad are thrilled about having to work with a Mac. No one in our family uses Apple products save for 2 iPhones amidst a sea of Androids. You're not getting treated like it's your computer; you're getting treated like you're being permitted to use it. I'm sure there are people who are completely dependent on the unique features of a Mac, and if it makes you work faster or better then fine, whatever. I just prefer to actually be in control of my computer. (I don't actually use Linux though, which might take away all my credibility for some folks.)
Today an Apple employee asked me where are my parents. I said they were on the top floor of the shopping mall , where the Apple store was located, then she told me I couldn't be there without my parents. And first she told me that the demo iMacs we're not a toy. WHAT KIND OF BULL CRAP IS THIS APPLE? I DONT NEED TO HAVE MY PARENTS TO LOOK AT AN DISPl IMAC!!! And all I did was open Google on the display iMac.
Also, in 2015, they prevented 3D touch from being used as weight scale.
Apple = pathological liars.
“wHO oN eARtH doES diSk iMagInG oN theIr sMaRTphOnE?!” – Some power users might need this on the go, but regardless, it proves that the slogan is a flat-out lie.
I have been through hell trying to recover a 10 year old account to log into my daughter's iPad 2 that was bought in 2011. I have been on the phone with iasshats for over 2 hours trying to tell them how the store I bought the ipad from 10 FUCKING YEARS AGO is no longer in business, so I cannot "go to the seller and get a reciept" for the fucking thing. They want proof of purchase to unlock it on the off chance that it is stolen, though the birthday associated with the locked account is verified as my daughter's birthday. But fuck me, because I must have made sure that the iPad I stole was from a person with the same birthday as my daughter. This just means that they want me to spend more money on their useless shit and throw this working iPad in the trash. sounds like great business practices to me! if you get locked out of your device and don't have proof of purchase, FUCK YOU! throw it out!
I am LIVID. FUCK APPLE and FUCK everything they stand for.
I'm not sure anyone here has advice other than to throw my iPhone in the trash and get an android phone. My iPhone 7 has a known manufacturing issue or defect in that it stops connecting to either wi-fi and /or cell service for no apparent reason. I called Apple and they are aware of this issue and are going to fix the phone by, I assume, installing a new motherboard. The thing that just frosts me is they want to charge $149. For what you ask. Well, he $149 is to pay for a new screen. Keep in mind the current screen is fine and has no cracks but apparently, when they take the screen off to fix it, it usually breaks the screen ????. So let me get this straight; my phone goes in for a repair to fix an issue I had nothing to do with and in fixing it, Apple breaks it and I HAVE TO INCUR THE COST??? WTF? Does anyone have any advice or lawsuit for this sort of scam?
I am currently developing a mobile app. I first wanted to only do it for Android because I thought IOS would be a pain to get running because of Apples security things. But today I thought let's at least look up a bit and maybe it won't be that hard to port it to IOS.
How wrong I was. The first thing that showed up in the documents for the engine I am currently using was:
Required for developing in IOS: a computer running MacOS.
Why can't I just develop it for IOS like I develop it for Android. Google even provides an entire Android Studio just for developers to test their apps on all kinds of virtual Android devices. Now, I don't need all those kinds of tools but please let me develop Apple software on hardware that isn't made by Apple!
Apple subpoenas Valve as part of its legal battle with Epic: Valve fights back
You buy an app, you love the app, you need the app, but the publisher gets tired of Apples bullshit constant updating requirements that have nothing to do with the app's function. So they quit.
Now the next time IOS updates, you can't run your app anymore. Apple store stops carrying it. The only way to retain the app is through Itunes convoluted method that risks losing it. Even if you save it, you can never use that app again unless you can somehow restore an old version of IOS. Good luck with that.
I HAVE AN IPAD PRO that I've blocked from updates for 4 years! Because I know for certain, based on what happened on my smaller Ipad long ago that an update rendered it unusable. I cared far more about that one app than any feature or change they've ever forced into an arbitrary update. So now I have to keep using two ipads, the small one that I allow updates so I can use basic things rendered unusable...and the old one that can still run the app I'm dependent upon.
You can't just forever block the IOS updating. They are sneaky as hell, background downloading an update, then forcing welcome screens that ask you WHEN not IF you want to update, so you can't slack, must carefully not do the wrong thing that would cause it to update and then go back to your settings to delete the update file as a precaution...but they put the damn thing back.
My other Ipad with the current IOS does other sneaky shit, like waking me up at night when the screen goes on and it attempts to force an update, leaving an error screen when it hits a malfunction I intentionally set.
Maybe I don't want those assholes at Apple deciding anything for me. Maybe I want to delay an update because I know there will be some change I don't want. For certain, many updates are very minor and designed to force third parties to jump through hoops, its how they weed the ecosystem. But I like some of the weeds and fully resent that Apple can't be stopped from doing these things.
It used to be that when an operating system was improved, it had to ensure backwards compatibility with old software. When did the world decide it was fine to stop doing that? This is unfair, unjust, oppressive and contrary to all the bullshit Apple is constantly spewing.
Honestly it’s my problem for continuing to use apple products and not upgrading but I find the quality just gets cheaper and shittier I’m sick of it
I’ve bought the lighting headphones twice in the past year (should’ve got the dongle) and they broke within 5 months compared to the pair that came with the box of my phone. I take care of them too
All 3 pairs feel different and these feel like they are gonna break right away, it’s much lighter the bits are shitty plastic,(to be fair they did lower the price so) im fucking paranoid that I’ll have to buy a new pair yet again I may as well get AirPods at this point.
Shit. Eat. It!
When I was about 9 or 10 I got an iPod touch. I didn't even ask for it, but I was kinda surprised and impressed that my parents got that for me. Fast-forward to the end of 2014. I was 12, making that iPod 2-3 years old. And already some apps weren't able to update due to my iPod being unable to update to iOS 7, because it was not the right generation iPod or something. And that sucked, so I wanted an iPad. Furthermore, some apps would just crash on startup and my home button became unresponsive. One of the apps that crashed all the time was Terraria. But I had access to the crash logs and realised there was a low memory error. A restart made Terraria work again. But it joined the ranks of apps I was no longer able to update due to not having iOS 7 or later. Also the battery life has pretty much been reduced to ten minutes. The ultimate icing on the shitcake was that I ended up downloading heaps of free-to-play titles that just reeked of play to win, a problem that would also haunt the games I played on my iPad...
Well I got the iPad in the Christmas of 2014 and I had lots of fun with it... until one app that I was using, Hotel Hideaway, was no longer able to update. And apps started being all slow and crashy again, including Minecraft and Terraria. But now I was unable to view any of the crash logs to find out what could possibly be wrong with my games. I suspected low memory problems but restarting didn't help. A RAM-checking applicaion I found on Safari revealed that my iPad had a whopping 512 MB of RAM.
For contrast, my 2010 eMachines eME728 had 2GB of RAM (probably due to being a COMPUTER) which could actually be upgraded to 8 GB, probably even more, if they had > 4 GB RAM sticks compatiable with it. And while my eMachines got pretty slow at times program crashes were actually pretty rare (and it got better after a RAM upgrade). My DS Lite was also the next most unstable device I had out of the lot, and even then the game crashing (which caused the whole DS to crash because it didn't have a way to return to the home menu without rebooting) was occasional. And I'd say it was because I was pretty rough with it as a kid. Like seriously, back then I would slap my computer on the back of the screen when it acted up (which lead to a broken screen and a heap of chores to raise money for a replacement, which I still have today). Eventually the cats killed it.
My eMachines also had a rather convenient panel on the bottom that I could unscrew which exposed the hard drive, RAM and CPU so I could just upgrade or clean them at will. I could take the back panel of both my DS Lite and 3DS to replace the battery. I could even rip the back panel off my older phones to replace the batteries without having unscrew anything. But neither my iPod or my iPad would dare open themselves up so I could replace the batteries. What I got was what I fucking got. And when it no longer worked, tough fucking luck get a new one. Except they were more expensive than my gaming computer.
I've given up on Apple products. My Nintendo Switch has Minecraft and Junk Jack X (games that I had on my iPod and iPad) and my laptop has Terraria. Looking back, I really wish my parents used the money they spent on all this iShit and got me a 3DS instead. And maybe some games for it as well. Because honestly the 3DS and its games may have been out of place with all my classmates in Years 5-6 on their iPods and iPads with Make it Rain and Geometry Dash but at least I would have proper games without all the shitty microtransactions and in-app purchases.
Also I could use the eShop and Steam gift cards to buy DLC without having to enter my credit card details. Yeah, just take the money I have in my App Store account from all those iTunes cards! That's literally all you need!
To hell with your iShit, Apple. To hell with your shitty iPods and iPads that don't even last a few fucking years. To hell with your unstable applications that crash every other fucking minute. To hell with your specs that age like a fucking banana turning brown that can't even be upgraded.
To hell with you, crApple.
Video shows that our settings are identical (if it pertains to the display output) and mine blue shifts insanely bad at even slight angles.
Capturing video of the distortions in color mine experiences all the time is near impossible but it is pretty drastic to the naked eye.
I had just barely removed my own tempered glass to see if it was causing my blue shift to get worse. I had tested prior with the same tempered glass as the other.

Eat shit!
When I click on the application it says "uTorrent needs to be updated. The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information."
Does that mean no more torrenting on Big Sur for now... sorry newbie question I know
Applenavirus (APPVID-TECH) is the spread of anything Apple does that is horrible to the rest of the tech industry:
Symptoms include
-
Removal of headphone jack.
-
Removal of ports (soon).
-
Removal of bundled accessories (charger and wired earphones) in the name of greenwashing.
-
Copying the positioning of the camera lens module.
-
Creating their own version of AirPods true wireless earphones.
-
Trying to mimic Apple's implementation of Face ID.
-
Forcing you to use a double dongle when you want to charge and listen to music using wired earphones.
-
Forcing you over to a completely wireless ecosystem (soon).
What sort of bullshit anti apple community caters to apple bitches that love the products they hate. What a bunch of dipshits.
In any case, we need to grow this community as it's rather small. I'm going to try to contribute some more to this sub, as fuck those other guys, they aren't true apple haters. Maybe I can recruit some of the people from there over here.
Also, been thinking about making a Discord, anyone interested? Could be fun.
Preview froze, I spent literally 8 hours on a project, saving every 5 slides so as to not lose my work. The app quit and now everything is f*cking gone. Apple, my macbook isn't even 3 months old. WHY YOU DO ME LIKE THAT????
I have my assignment due tomorrow. fml.

Samsung, Huawei Mobile and Motorola are making leaps and bounds in foldable screen technology.
Meanwhile, Apple is busy figuring out ways to make their devices even more comically customer-hostile for no good reason.
Don't fall for their charade of trying to reduce waste: If they really gave even an iota of a damn about the environment, they would've adopted USB-C on their iPhones years ago, which would've easily avoided tons of unnecessary waste and spending by not forcing users to buy different chargers for their iPhones than most of their other devices: All new Android flagships, most new laptops and tablets, including Apple's own MacBooks (and even the new iPad Pro), have all been utilizing USB-C to charge for several years now. Apple has deliberately and almost singlehandedly prevented the dream of one-charger-for-everything from becoming a reality, just to continue milking the royalties third party accessories manufacturers must shell out in order to gain access to their propriety lightening port (the same reason Apple was the first to get rid of the only non-proprietary port from their iPhones, the ol' reliable 3.5 mm headphone jack, setting off an unfortunate trend for the entire industry). Think about the that the next time you see one of their ads boasting about their recycling "efforts."
BoycottApple
Hey so recently I was reminded by apple that the account I made with them when I was 12 was being "hacked". Honestly I don't care much about the account as it has no CC info or anything that people could use against me these day, but I want the account gone for the simple principle that I hate apple and everything they do and don't want to be associated with them in any way, shape, or form. I went to go delete the account, but I was stopped by my security questions I had set close to 10 years ago that I have completely forgotten. Unfortunately apples security system is so good that I can't log into my own account without knowing the answer to two questions I no longer knew the answers to and not by you know showing willing to show them my state issued ID to get access to the account and get this dealt with. I talked to someone on the phone for an hour and a half only for them to tell me that the account that is so obviously mine, since I was able to change the password easily, is just going to sit there forever since of their "Perfect system with no issues".
By any chance does anyone know a lawful method of getting my account terminated manually without logging in. Like an easy rule to break that leads to account deletion?
Thank you for reading this.
My birthday just passed and my grandparents gave me a 150 dollar card for the apple store and the code(despite being put in correctly 8-10 times) wont work.
Nope definately didnt want to get anything on my ipad what makes you say that
Spill your guts! Any and all details are appreciated!
Where else could I ask? There's less than 300 subscribers to this subreddit...
Thank you!
So far I've got:

Thank you very much!
Alternatively, tell me why you love Android!
Apple advertised with their own weakness. (Japanese camera commercial: incompatible?! What about Apple's proprietary protocols?)
Apple doesn't need to innovate!
Their customers spend a fortune on their garbage anyway!
Has anyone else observed this behavioural pattern of Apple users too?
Has anyone noticed that the same iSheep who showed off years ago with how slim and thin (~6mm) and sleek their device is, suddenly purchase the 8.3mm thick iPhone 11?
SUDDENLY, they don't mind the 8.3mm anymore.
Double standard.
