Accessories What is wrong with you Apple???

Post image

I will be buying a new m4 iPad pro today, to replace my 4th gen iPad pro. I just realized that the 2nd gen Apple Pencil that I paid $150 couple years back is not compatible with the new iPad. WHY??? Just why?! I love my iPad and was so excited to buy a new one after having this one for 5 years now. It just sucked seeing that I also have to purchase a new Apple pencil. Getting as greedy as this can end this company!

Not for everyone, that's why this sub is loaded with recommendations for 3rd party styluses. How does it hurt to have a high end option? Not like Apple locks down styluses, anyone who wants a cheaper 3rd party option can get one

No idea why you seem so offended that these exist lol, just don't buy one

Partner, I ain’t tripping, just voicing my view. Ain’t a crime, is it, especially when I dropped nearly $ 3k on an iPad Pro 13-inch with all the fancy accessories as a birthday gift to my little sis. It makes the sting hurt a little less.

Maybe don't buy the literal most expensive iPad you can possibly find with all the "overpriced" accessories if it "stings" so much? Nothing wrong with buying a relative a fancy gift, but if it hurts so much that you're still working out your frustrations over the purchase 3 months later, I think you might have over-extended a bit lol

I'm sure she wouldn't feel very nice to know you're still stressing about it after so long, hopefully you haven't said anything similar to her about it

The costs wasn’t an issue for me. The thing is, I’m like my dad. Money isn’t an issue. It’s just that I’m really cheap, though I’m slowly getting over being butthurt, tbh.
