This marks the day they lost me as a long-term customer. Perhaps ought to have happened earlier, but for me, it happened today. I encourage others to consider the same.

I mean I've never been an Apple customer. At least not since the OG iPods. But what company are you going to move to that wouldn't do the exact same thing in that situation?

Apple is uniquely shitty in having endless contempt for their own customers, which is why I've always avoided them. But this just seems like kind of a weird "last straw". But hey, anyone boycotting Apple has my support.
