"Software updates run slowly on older products"
They must have implemented some special code to make this happen, of course. I mean, hardware not begin as good in older products would have nothing to do with it running slowly now, would it? If you try to run Windows 8 on a old PC, it'll probably run slowly too. If you try and run Android on a old phone, it'll run slowly. Hardware changes, and so do the things required to run the best code. If the ram is not as good in an older model, of course the OS will run slower.
"The use of their own screws"
Because they use screws they designed themselves, it must mean that they are trying to make older products break. Obviously. It's totally got nothing to do with saving money on buying screws from other companies or anything, because that would be ridiculous. As for replacing them in older models, it'll be what the repairers (is that even a word) were told. Same thing if you take a laptop into PC World for repair, and they use different screws to put it back together, or different wires to connect up the parts. It's what they have at the time of repair.
"The new connector"
So, because a new, smaller, simpler, connector that doesn't just go in one way was used to charge things, it must be a bad thing, obviously. I mean by that logic, that's why microUSB is used, to make all other USB connections not work. A smaller connector means a smaller space requirement inside the product, meaning they can fit more stuff in the area saved. But no, this would be far too sensible of a reason to change.
"Apple refuses to comment"
Hm, a multi-million dollar business obviously has nothing better to do than comment on it. Most companies refuse to comment on things. Google are refusing to comment on Google+ being stopped, does that mean they are making things obsolete? Must be, because there is obviously no other reason.
Now because obviously Apple is the only company in the world to have flaws, anything I say now would obviously be made up right?. Such as one where a
security fault on the XBOX was discovered by a 5-year-old boy. Or as a way to make money, they stopped support for XP, which is probably the best OS Microsoft was ever able to produce, forcing millions of people to upgrade including
making governments pay out huge sums of money simply to keep XP, instead of spending the millions on useful things. Or
out of the 6 worst operating systems in history, Microsoft developed 4 of them.
Alternatively, the internet could agree on how bad windows is as seen by my Google Search.
TL;DR If you're gonna pick out flaws in a company, first think "are they sensible flaws" then think "is the company I support any better?"
Also, I really can't be bothered to take part in another "Mac vs Windows" thread, because they are just annoying. Plus, the major Apple hater here Air as recently purchased a Mac to go along with his iPhone, so they can't really be that bad now can they?
