Why is apple being held to a higher standard than other tech companies? in c/apple@hardware.watch

Apple isn’t the only one. People is like this with Tesla too. As a Tesla owner of 2 of their vehicles, it’s not any worse than any other cars I’ve owned before.

However Apple and Tesla news generate clicks, so anything outside of absolute perfection generates clicks.

I honestly cannot for the life of me understand why anyone outside developers would buy a Mac these days. Their mobile devices are great, but the only reason I have a Mac is to develop for their mobile devices.

If Apple wants their Macs to be more than just side-attachment-tools for developers, they need to start dropping the prices.

Try getting the M2 Max 2.5 weeks ago. I’m literally 5 days over the return window.

Jk, I don’t really care. I knew the M3 was around the corner when I bought mine. I got the M2 Max for a single purpose: to develop for the Vision Pro. It’s going to be enough for that for like the next 6-7 years.
