The only thing what I don't like about the update policy of Apple is you cannot
use new apps from the Store if you cannot update to a new iOS version without
buying new hardware from Apple (esp. iPad's).
And yes, the costs of the same specs of Apple hardware compared to PC hardware
are still 2 or 3 times more BUT the advantage is that you can run iOS and
Windows natively on the same machine. Since the introduction of Apple's T2
Security Chip it isn't possible to boot Linux on new Apple hardware like the
2018 MacBook Pro and Mac Mini anymore as far as I know.
Furthermore, because of bad experiences upgrading macOS's in the past, I don't
upgrade to a the newest macOS version if there is no need for. It has saved me
a lot of frustrations...
But I am not an advocate, I both like to work on Apple (macOS) and PC
(Windows/Linux) machines.

What's unfair about it. Don't be offended.
It's not against you or LC, it's not even entirely against Apple, they
have also good things. It's just an opinion.
I believe there are more discussions about Apple issues on this list
than i see about Windows or Linux or Android.
And for all 3 OS i also believe they are better backwards compatible.
(for Android i'm not talking about the sauce samsung and thelike pour
over it)
A lot of people i see who have an Macbook or iOs device, is because they
want to show off that they can afford it, not of the reason that it
would be better or easier.
I also understand that they want to close 32bit and move on, except many
customer are not ready. But slowly moving on.
If people want it it's ok, but i see a lot of hassle that i choose not
to go for.

it is only a tiny update for Monte to fix. My experience says that ALL OS
systems/devices break bar none unless they don’t update at all and stay
stagnant. So which system do you prefer JJS? And remember only to mention one
that is completely infallible and never likely to break. Id especially love to
know a device name that is completely 100% future proof I can pitch to my
customers. As yet, the ‘most’ reliable I have found from a whole heap of
testing and long term experience are iPad Pro and Macs. Even my ipad2 is
shockingly more reliable than any of my top end Samsung tabs (unless I strip
them right down and use custom OS).

unfair and exaggerated. They break for sure, but not to the extent to ‘refuse’
it. Roids way of avoiding breaking is to only offer minor device OS updates and
expect you to bin old devices after a couple of years (apposed to the 6-8years
for Apple).
