The Take
Apple OS is not worth it. The slick hardware-software marriage exists to trap users inside a closed system where leaving costs real money and hassle.
Data collection sits at the core while privacy tools serve as marketing theater that demands blind trust.
The Verdict
Eternal update nags, bricked older devices, and your entire digital life logged define the real package. The convenience tax keeps rising while alternatives stay ignored.
Skip it. Buy a Framework laptop with Linux — repairable, open, no walled garden.
