gollark: Imagine having no headphone jack. Imagine no µSD slot. Imagine being pointlessly large for no reason. Imagine using a proprietary connector for charging etc. Imagine running an OS which forces all apps to be downloaded through a proprietary store.

gollark: Well, in a very real sense, Apple products bad.
