Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

There’s plenty of real things to complain about Apple, no need to be petty like this.
They kill off third party solutions shamelessly.
?
You cant use standard parts in there hardware
You certainly can use 3rd party chargers
No you can’t really as lightning requires you to pay royalties to Apple. It isn’t a open connector. You can’t even get anything faster than USB2 speeds.
iPhones have USB-C now……
Only the most recent ones and everything but the “pro” model doesn’t support anything but USB 2.
Not that it matters though as it is still a locked down ecosystem.
Fair, but now that they’re using USB-C that’s a temporary thing.
Also most people don’t need USB 3 speeds on their phones anyway because they don’t really plug them into anything that will take advantage of those speeds.
I realize some people do, and for those people the pro is the answer to that.
It seems like you just keep moving the goalpost to keep having a reason to hate Apple.
“What even are facts”
Not only the wheels, take a llook on their store and it’s hilarious prices for simple complements. Pitty that you must buy a charger apart for your phone which not even include it by default.
Sure, if I didn’t have 100 compatible chargers already from a variety of other products, and wasn’t willing to purchase 3rd party products, I’d have to buy a $20 adapter from Apple.
Also, I just checked and the latest Pixel comes with a cable but not a brick, same as the iPhone. Also Google’s cheapest power brick is $25, so it’s actually worse than Apple.
Got any real complaints?
“Other company is worst so Apple is in the clear”.Why are you shilling for a mega corp that doesn’t give a shit about you?
If the worst thing Apple ever did was sell some optional components no one needs to buy to use their core products for more than you think is reasonable, Apple would be a fantastic company.
I’m not shilling a mega corp, I’m calling out petty bullshit. You’re the one making Apple look good by complaining about petty bullshit. Find something real to complain about.
