You get it. Apple fans, which by the way I think it's stupid to be a fan of a product/company, can't admit that the devices they buy and the company that makes them have flaws. They view the marketing as objective truths when the objective truth is Apple is first and foremost a very profitable company and those profits matter above everything else. They aren't a "good" company and will follow the path that leads them to profits. Taking a single chip and making 30 devices that all do different things is proof of that.

I'm not treating you like a dumbass, Apple is.

I think it's hilarious that people will buy an iPhone, iPad and Macbook and not realize the only thing that's different about them is the software. Any restriction is manufactured.

edit: apparently I've upset some Apple users. I apologize. My point was that the features each class of device has is manufactured to ensure you buy 3 products instead of 1 while the hardware inside is essentially the same. Like restricting touch and pen support isn't about hardware limitations; it's about getting you to spend. If you're happy with a company that does that you, then hey you do you, but don't get upset when that fact is pointed out.

You're the perfect consumer, bud.

The killer Steam Deck game is absolute choice. Oddly enough you can play many Switch games and older on the Deck.

A healthy way to look at things, but also the guaranteed way to maintain the status quo. It's funny how that works.
