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: They are NOT very good still. They're unrepairable, uncustomizable, encourage lock-in, and in many cases have stupid flaws like just not having adequate cooling.
gollark: Well, in a very real sense, Apple products bad.
gollark: How is it meant to work, exactly, compare *every frame*?
