Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

I’m not an Apple apologist, but I feel there are some things Apple does that are privacy focused.

  • The ability to E2EE encrypt iCloud is a very simple privacy feature that is accessible to the technical and non-technical alike.
  • Private relay provides a double VPN architecture that doesn’t cause constant captcha hell and again just works for non-technical people.
  • Hide my email, while not being perfect, is a pretty straightforward method to make throwaway email addresses.

The things I hate about Apple are generally not privacy related.

  • They are a mega-corporation that stifles innovation
  • They don’t allow other browsers
  • They are puritanical about what is allowed in the App store

I hate apple so much.
I really hate Iphones.

Iphone, Iphone,
I fucking hate it
I hate it so much
I want to beat it wtih a stick

It's such a slow-ass,
buggy piece of shit,
and everyone who works for Apple
can suck my fucking dick

I want to punch it in the face
and shoot it in the head
and run it over with a steamroller
over and over, until it's fucking dead

I'm going to dig up Steve Jobs
and Piss on his bones
Because fuck him and everyone
with their stupid fucking Iphones.
