    Lucky for you, but the truth is, Apple isn’t that great or reliable. Here is a list of all the MacBook recalls, and it’s a list from 2021. Battery issues of possibly catching fire, screens cracking, logic board failures, etc…

    Here is another list that is from 2023 of different Apple devices.

      Where’s a list of recalls for non Apple devices for comparison?

      I’ve had several devices that should have been recalled and weren’t so good on Apple for recalling anything at all.

      Did you read the wiki leaks for chained exploits to achieve privilege escalation on various devices? Apple devices had the smallest attack surface by far and had already patched several vectors before they leaked.

      With android, you had several paths to choose from to achieve full control of the device for each and every android version, and the likelihood that a device was patched, if a patch existed at all, was extremely low. Patch releases would lag published exploits for years.

      Apple has always used the right hardware for the job, while others add as much power as possible to hide the fact their software / hardware marriage is abysmal.

      And now there is Apple silicon, which is even better!

      • Hardware: Winner Apple
      • Software: Winner Apple
      • Security: Winner Apple
      • User friendliness: Winner Apple

        And you had anything beyond saying it to back it up.

        Hardware I’ve already proven, you, well… You made something up and hoped for the best.

        Software, as we are talking more about macOS at the beginning, it’s a joke that you are claiming macOS has more and various software than Windows. There is a reason even Apple uses Windows and not macOS.

        Security, again, you made a quick claim and nothing to back it up. But here is a list of iOS exploits just from 2022-2023.

        User friendliness: this reeks of desperation. And has been proven in the past to be wrong, but keep trolling. I’ll keep laughing 🤣
