Honestly the reason I own and use an old iPad, it was practically the only tablet that could do what I wanted. I used a Mac mini for the better part of five years before I switched to Windows and finally Linux! (It’s ok if Linux isn’t for you)

I get the appeal, their hardware is very nice and I still wish other manufacturers matched the tolerances Apple sets for their hardware. I just can’t buy from a company behaving like that. Also good man using your hardware for as long as reasonably possible! 😁 We only have one earth after all.

Don’t mind people blaming you for choosing a brand. Their ire is misplaced, it’s the company’s fault as much as it’s the consumers fault and the consumers should focus their energy in convincing companies to change their ways or loose their loyalty. This petty meaningless victim blaming helps no one.

It would help if you voted with your wallet from now on though.
