You'd have to have a brain the size of a walnut to buy Apple phones or computers or TV streaming systems. The only good things they ever came out with were the Apple][+ and the iPod, both temporarily were innovative game-changers. The iPhone was just a logical extension of the high-end phones that were available from 2003-2006, the ones that used a stylus. I had a Windows5 phone in 2006 for example. The only improvement Apple added was multi-touch, arguably a good feature but not exactly a game-changer.
Well, it's been almost 45 years since the Apple][+, and almost 20 years since the iPod. Why the fuck do people still purchase Apple products? Because they are stupid and they believe that Apple products are "easier to use." Well, in the sense that most of the consumer choice has been stripped away from the Apple user experience, Apple products ARE "easier to use" because they have only one approved method of use.
The iPod was a game changer. I still rock an iPod classic because of the intuitive controls, pretty good DACs (on most models), and high storage capacity.
The only thing I hate about them is fucking iTunes and the fact you can only link them to one PC. Sure, there's an iPod compatibility plugin for Foobar 2000, but it's hit or miss.
Yeah I have an original Nano, I still love that thing even though it hasn't been out of its dock in a couple of years.
