Ask Lemmy

I would suggest creating a community called “Let’s Talk About Apple”.

Too many tech communities on Lemmy are drowning in links to tech news and blogs. I wish it would be more like forums with people actually having discussions.

Yesss I’m all for this. I’m a reluctant iPhone and Apple TV user. I hate my iPhone, but I hate it slightly less than all the various androids I’ve had over the years. I’d love a place to vent.

for Apple users who are fed up with Apple?

Aren't this simply the existing Android communities?

Healthy criticism is healthy. Do it.

I dont think you truly love something you cannot have reasonable criticisms of that are seperate from your involvement or overall tolerance for it

Obviously that should inform the extent to which you expose yourself to potential harm but you can find ways to synergize your interests to the effect that they will have a stake in doing right by you as well as themself, although that often involves being a squeaky wheel and vocal

Apple users who are fed up with Apple and who want to move to Linux so bad +1

I would definitely love a fuckapple or deapple community or magazine.

I subbed to salty caramel apple. Love the retro vibe.

I stay several generations behind on purpose now. For one thing, shit costs too much. My Mac is a 2020 Air I got from a friend when his dad died for $300. I can't see myself getting rid of that anytime soon, as it replaced a 2012 model that is still going strong (and is the computer I take into the field for work).

I cannot stand the size of Apple's phones, I had an 8 and then an SE and I tried then to move to a 12 and I absolutely hated everything about it, size, weight - the bullshit camera switching between lenses and turning my zoomed-in photos into bizarre cartoons.

I also far prefer the button, as I have to take hundreds of pictures a day for work and FaceID fails, either by not waking the phone up when I pull it from the holster or by just outright not recognizing me in the sweat and sunglasses, making me have to manually open it, shake it, enter the code, swearing the whole time.

I'm now on an SE2 and when I have to get rid of it I'll go to SE3, but I don't know what comes after that. Androids aren't any better.

I have been using Apple product since 1979. It’s going to take a lot more to disuade me.
