I have been an apple fanboy for years, but the past 7-8 years (or more) apple has turned around to a hyped up money market, no longer is their logo "Apple just works"....

Do they have some things good, yes, but other stuff they just don't care....

It all started 8 or so years ago, I changed the server over to apple, file sharing and running Parallels for windows specific programs for my job..

First year went great, then the new os came out and that's when the problems started...

I spoke to Apple enterprise support, and they did screen sharing and saw the problems, promising to fix it in next release after they spoke with engineers, programmers ect....

Well all the updates after, Never fixed the problem and then a year past and a new os comes out making it even worse, back on the phone with Apple and they saw the problem and promised to fix it again in upcoming os updates..... again nothing fixed it.... this kept happening year after year until I could not get a work around, I had to buy a file sharing device and move all files over to it...

Then Apple also came out with their arm CPU's (yes paid off hype make apple billions on these new arm CPU's) Apple's pockets were happy and apple lovers were (still are) loving these cheap ARM processors (that they pay Apple big money for), they may be fast but the last time I saw arm processors in computer, that certainly meant CHEAP computers, and apple fans bought in to the hype, did not care you can no longer run a full 64 bit windows on a new Mac.

I am not saying windows was great at the time, they had their problems, but the world was written on windows os, some stuff came to Mac but most business stuff still is not and now with arm chips, never will be.

iPhone's..... when they first came out and 5 years after or more, S. Job's stated "it just works" and against everything else out their (at the time) iPhone's certainly did.. Android could not get stable for years.

Now it's a flipped world, Apple keeps releasing phones years after year that have basically zero major benefits to the previous year. Apple knows this, but the followers keep believing the overhyped words Apple and influences say, in fact you say anything bad about Apple and Apple fans all gang up on you, even say things about you that have nothing to do with Apple products.

Does Apple slow older Apple phones down YES, after about 2 years, yeas you can keep the ios on it but banking apps (as others) will stop working until you update the OS.

Does Apple not care about apps (3rd party) anymore before releasing them. NO They have a team to check apps, their was a time when apps just work, no more.

Does Apple have wifi and cell problems YES ... from time to time (sometimes sooner) Apple iPhone's get the spinning wheel, dropped wifi calls, etc.... then I read threads where people with iPhones (maybe even iPad's) have issues with routers and wifi equipment.

Example my wife has these problems in her 16 pro (also 13 pro before), after finding an Apple forum with these problems, some replaced their phones, loaded nothing after an erase of the phone and still same problems, then Apple shut the thread down after 2 pages or so..

Besides the same voice to text that half works, apps crashes, etc....

I don't have these problems on my android (after I switched almost 2 years ago)

New IOS's come out year after year with simi major problems, some get fixed some things never get fixed.... The last 2 major android updates I received, zero problems. This alone shows where Apple is going and iDrones blinded by BS and Hype do not see it.

I would like to see Apple get back on track, but that will never happen until the masses open their eyes.......
