In my opinion, Apple’s choice to reduce the number and variety of ports on their devices in order to sell more dongles was where mobile device enshitification began in earnest. Now my phone just spys on me and vomits ads constantly and I can’t even plug in my fucking headphones.
They take ages to adopt great features that have existed on Android devices for years, and yet are THE leader of what corners to cut in the industry.
We like to call it innovation here, innovative ideas to fuck everyone and get a bit of bonus for the ceo

For me, nothing could ever possibly top Apple’s rejection of strain relievers on their cables. It’s absolutely the perfect blend of their overrated design sense with their unerring corporate instinct for planned obsolescence.

They saw the the writing on the wall, and turned colours as soon as they saw they were fighiting a loosing battle.

Ye no, i will only say they support it the moment their devices isnt made to not be repaired and have dark patterns all over them
Only when they can find a way to make money from it.
No, they were forced to.
If you actually look closer to their setup, it is extremely difficult and costs tons of money. Just to make their Genius bars seem reasonable.
