being a lifestyle brand doesn't make it bad, apple doesn't sell anything that isn't serviceable and a lot of good stuff especially if you aren't min-maxing cost when making purchasing decisions

it just makes you a little obnoxious

but smartphones and tablets are seeing increased adoption, and that's due to apple being obnoxious at the right time

it's all very confusing i don't even know who to sperg at/with anymore

google should have never gone multi-manufacturer at launch and there are some kinks due to that but everything is pretty usable

apple took an app out of the store when all it did was let you press volume down to take the picture sideways without pressing in, i'd rather have the shaky support tbqh
