  1. Apple is too expensive! my daughter got an iphone 15 for $1,300 and she couldn't even charge it. NO CHARGING DEVICE!! I still have an iphone 7 I'm not giving these greedy corporations that much money for a phone THAT THEY STILL CONTROL!

  2. Excuse me Spring Break? They should be made to stay in session so they can get something accomplished. As they tend to accomplish nothing but foolishness. You signed up to do the job. So do it or get out the seat.

  3. Apple does some dirty stuff.
    New iPhones also have breakaway cables on the inside. So if you are a tech like me, we can't service those phones without going through a lot of trouble. The moment you open it every cable/wire breaks in half. They do this on purpose.
    Another issue is with Macbook Pros. RAM and Hard Drives are soldered directly to the board which make it impossible to replace. Memory is a disposable component. After around a million write cycles it will die, and with new Macbooks this means either spending $800.00 on a new motherboard or buy a new Macbook. Basically be like buying a new car because the old one ran out of gas or the battery died.
    Apple is one of the dirtiest players in the game. After Steve Jobs died it got so much worse! At least Steve Jobs understood right to repair and such. Tim Cook only cares about getting richer at any cost period.

  5. They keep talking about government shutdown over and over again why it’s like if they are doing this on purpose do your job and stop trying to take vacation and still get tax payer money

  6. I’m happy, tired of sending my pictures and videos from my Samsung and the people with IPhones can’t see them or the image looks like junk. But all other brand phones have no problem seeing them.

  7. Pretty sure that a monopoly is when there’s only one product or service available for a particular market. I don’t see how any of these allegations can be considered legitimate. There’s plenty of other smartphone manufacturers. Why is the DOJ concerned about Apple, but not the drug crisis for example?

  8. So apple make their products,make their rules to make them safe,put a high price on their products,keep the not so safe apps away from their products and the government wants them to change how they run their company? For those crying about their price,dont like that dont buy it. Everything they sell,others companies sell same products just different brands.

  9. They should Sue them over the price not apple ecosystem or design. People get the product for its unique ecosystem. But the price they charge is ridiculous.
