Apple is WAY TOO OVERPRICED and buying one certainly won't break me. The problem is however that I can't justify the price for Apple products when I can get a product that works just or almost as well for 25% of its cost. Spending the extra for Apple goes against being frugal for me.

Re: iPhone/iPad/Mac Security Patch
That has been my stance, but I am a techie and know how to deal with the issues. Apple is more locked down and until recently has been more secure and therefore possibly a better choice for someone who is not tech savvy. These lawsuits against the Apple store may change that too. The Android store is wide open and many of the apps bring malware. Apple vets the apps more and since they were charging, they kept out much of the riff-raft.LogicsHere wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 6:29 am Apple is WAY TOO OVERPRICED and buying one certainly won't break me.

I'm not really techie and am not much of an "app user" so I'm not as much afraid of malware. I also use good antivirus and anti-malware programs, but still have my system "cleaned" about every year and a half or so.mbrudnic wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 7:01 am That has been my stance, but I am a techie and know how to deal with the issues.

No, my issue with Apple is most definitely the price.
