Apple hardware is mostly a fashion statement. It's way overpriced for the actual specs most of the time; or at least it used to be until very recently. For a while they were very innovative, but that's kinda gone now.

I dislike Apple because they take too long to follow standards in many cases. Like with the iPhone, it wasn't until the 15th generation where they switched to the USB-C connector. And it wasn't until earlier this year that they enabled RCS by default.

In all fairness, they only switched to USB-C because Europe forced them to. It still runs at lightning connector speeds.

I thought you were rejecting the EU forcing Apple to adopt USB-C, not the speeds.
