    I’m just opposed to their brand ethos. They always complicate things in the name of simplicity.

    apple mice have 1 button to click, and that this decision was made (in the 80s) because they thought 2 button mice would confuse the average user.

    … and now apple users command + click all the time, like that isn’t more complicated.

    That’s not why I hate apple, but it is why I hate apple. They perpetually put the cart before the horse.

    Actually this means more boxes are being created in total and this is worse for the environment. 🤦‍♂️

    Edit: God you apple stans are annoying af. I guess y’all are just an extension of their obnoxious ethos lol.

      Apple Mice have had right click for 14 years, and their trackpads have used two finger click in its place far longer than that. And before that, any two button mouse worked just fine in OS X from 2001 on (earlier if you ran the beta of OS X). So your information is anywhere from two decades to one and a half decades out of date. Well done.

      How so? That thought only works if you think they still manufacture the same amount of chargers and package them. Which would be pretty dumb given that they aren’t guaranteed a sell. Also, who doesn’t have a bunch of different chargers already?

      I agree with you and the OP of this thread. I don’t want to support a company with a walled garden approach and they over complicate things to be unique

      Apple devices have had right click for a while now. It’s a two finger press.

      Speaking of annoying af. Look at you, you’re the same. You’re not anti-apple, you’re just pro-anti.
