Why nickle and dime your money away on cheap chinkshit to save cash when you have to service and upgrade constantly? You could just as easily spend it on a quality Apple product.

>iPhone 4 is still running modern iOS
>Core2 Macs still supported
>Old Macs still have excellent GPUs
>They just work
>They're beautiful
>Linux/BSD support

Come home, anon. Don't you deserve quality American design?

If by modern you mean horrendously outdated, sure. Did you mean the 4s, which is so bad with iOS 9 that Apple are facing a lawsuit?
>>Core2 Macs still supported
Heh, no. No sierra for core 2.
>>Old Macs still have excellent GPUs
New macs don't have excellent GPUs
>>They just work
That's true at least.
>>They're beautiful
They're dated. Seriously, at this point they look as old as the ThinkPads.
>>Linux/BSD support
Those two support everything. There have been toasters running BSD.

Either bait or joke, can't tell which without smiley.

>>55607304
>>Core2 Macs still supported
I had one of those things. The screen got marks on it from the lack of rubber on the bezel, it kept hitting the keyboard when it closed. Complete garbage, I'd rather have chinkshit over that.

Dude, those things were pretty crap unless you had the pro, and the cooling was fucking horrible. I have goddamn burn scars from when I fell asleep with it on my lap running some old game. I think it was GTA San Andreas.

I feel like I'm cheating capitalism by using my iPhone 5. Shit, 4 year later an it's sill getting updated and working smoothly like day one.

The battery seems to be reaching the end of its life though. Not sure if buy a new phone or just a new battery, it still does everything I need.

I'd rather see my phone become naturally obsolete when it's no longer able to run the latest OS than artificially obsolete by being stuck in an old OS version.

Its not about what I need, its about running the latest OS and not some old shit

new ios is slowwer for core functions and apps
>>
>>55608932
That is very subject, I've seen many tests comparing an iPhone 5 on iOS 6 and iOS 9 and while its slower doing some thing its faster doing other things.

And like I said, works perfectly on my device. When it's no longer able to run the latest iOS, its time to buy a new phone.

>apple fucks older devices on these in spite of non upgraders
Can you prove that?

New OS have more features and are made to work on more powerful devices so its natural to be slower on older devices. But like I said, still works perfectly on my iPhone 5.

> Why nickle and dime your money away on cheap chinkshit to save cash when you have to service and upgrade constantly? You could just as easily spend it on a quality Apple product.

servicing and upgrading it would be easier if RAM wasn't soldered on, or the SSD wasn't connected with a rarer connection type, or the battery was user servicable.

>>iPhone 4 is still running modern iOS

isn't supported on ios 9

>>Old Macs still have excellent GPUs

they are mostly intel gpus unless you spend the extra for something with a dedicated gpu

worse battery life and binaries required for the broadcom wi-fi hardware

I don't get this. Only in the past few months Apple supporters have been called Pajeets, I think its just cancer spreading on /pol/ to call everyone who disagrees with you in any arena a pooinloo.

Android has a 90% market share in India. There is no Apple anything in India, I'm talking iDevices, never mind Macs which are completely out of reach.

>>iPhone 4 is still running modern iOS

No it isn't. It stopped at 7.1.2 or .3... .4? Either way, it isn't, and the 4s version of 9.3.2 is limited and therefore a fork akin to cyanogen mod on a nexus. Also the 4s won't get iOS10 so it'll probably get an update to brick it and force people to upgrade.

>>Core2 Macs still supported

And incredibly slow, and won't be soon, and why bring this up when windows and Linux will run on almost anything and Mac os x runs solely on Apple products. I know there's hackintosh but I don't you'd count that as a plus.

>>Old Macs still have excellent GPUs

9400m/9600m/630m nope they sure don't, most APUs will easily beat these in almost any situation for cheaper and less power consumption.

>>They just work

I've done enough Mac support to know this is a lie.

>>They're beautiful

That's true, I want a MacBook cause it's heck of pretty. I won't get it cause it's expensive af for no reason. Even the iPad pro 9.3 calls to me with its looks, which I actually might get, i tend to use them as internet stuff and streaming and gaming and whatnot.

>>Linux/BSD support

Just like ever other piece of hardware in existence.

>Come home, anon. Don't you deserve quality American design?

Most design is to stop you from owning your product in a way that lets you service it and upgrade it yourself. Although I understand that technology goes that way as it gets smaller, it's frustrating that there's so much glue which makes it shit to fix.
>>
>>55609299

>Wealthy steel tycoon's relatives will now not need to pay lower class Pajeets to fly to other countries to buy iPhones on release day

Apple has data centers in many, many countries. Trying to connect fucking Apple to India is incredibly futile, vilify it with something a little more adhesive, go back to calling it homosexual or something, despite most fags having the same computer habits as normies.

Or you could come back here when you're older than 11 and know shit about the world.

>>iPhone 4 is still running modern iOS
iphone 4 was left behind on ios 7, and the 4s is going to be left behind with ios 10.
>>Core2 Macs still supported
the original intel mac isn't and the 2007s with a core 2 duo, but 32 bit uefi are stuck on 10.7
>>Old Macs still have excellent GPUs
the GPU in my friends 2007 imac is piss poor, and el cap lags terribly when dragging windows around, same with my old 2006 macbook pro, but that was in 10.6.
>>They just work
as long as you don't do any special things to the OS it works fine.
also continuity is a POS that never works.
>>They're beautiful
I mean it looks ok, but not my favorite ui.
>>
>>55608820
the problem is that usage is just plain stupid.
I wish that apple would be like android and show time on battery, and screen on time, because thats what matters.

Shit healthcare cause everyone pays into it and the government doles it out as efficiently as a government ever can (not at all).
Also, I pay extra for MSP in BC cause I make a living wage. 140 off my cheque and then manually have to pay 75 more a month so that poor faggot neet fuckers can sit in a doctor's office all day whereas when I take time off to go I get ~10 minutes due to timing. If that. Walk in? Good luck.

Fuck Canadian healthcare.

>>55607304
iPhone 4 only supports iOS 7. It is obsolete.
Core 2 macs only support lion. They are obsolete.
They've never shipped with good GPUs. Especially certain iterations of the MacBook Pro have experienced big issues such as overheating and driver crashes.

As a person who deals with apple products in his work every day I call you put on your bullshit.
