    iPhone user here, fully Linux everywhere else. I’m also visually impaired, if there’s a mobile device that handles a11y as well as iPhone, I’ll have a look (pun intended). Ethically, I’d love to ditch everything that morally repugnant corps offer, but sadly I need some of the tools to live a functional life.

      I think you commented this before, right? Cause I remember I agreed with someone in this! I tested my stock Android's read aloud feature and magnifying myself and it suuuuucks. Luke so much. So yes, that, one reason. But I have no reference really, so I will just trust people who tested it I guess... I hope that in the future there will be a better option, cause that truly is a "just has to work" thing.

    I used windows android for my whole life. I needed a new pc, so i thought i might give a shot for a macbook a chance (this was 2015). SO i did, and the feeling was cool, but after a while the novelty worn of, and i was cursing for the next 2.5years on how badly limiting MacOS is, it's so stripped down is so many ways of just simple friendly UI bits and pieces, the i just eye roll how people say it's easy to use any apple device. Apple any os is so sterilized that's it's furiating to use for just day to day use. And the apple phylosophy, ow boy ow boy, i have not seen such anti-consumer company ever, and yet it's just unbelievable how people buy their stuff because of "the feeling" And i'm a bit of tech savy person, i know how to use a computer, it's just when you know a bit more than how to turn of your device, than working on apple devices becomes a chore. SO i came back to windows after those 3 painfull years, and said never again, never again i am going to tie my own hands by giving money for ones that are making sure my hands are tied down really well.

    Ask an Apple user how to save the currently open page in Safari as a PDF (something companies frequently ask for) from an iPhone (pre iOS 17) and when they are finished ask them to explain what they think is intuitive about that (just see they actually fixed this finally in iOS 17... :-O 17 years, impressive Apple impressive!).
    Follow up, in iOS 17 ask them to share an embedded PDF from the web (for example a receipt) as a file in Telegram. Note: the actual PDF *not* a link to the website (which the person asking the question almost certainly won't have access to, assuming receipt).
    No Apple user I know has been able to answer these questions. But they'll moan about my Android devices or belittle my choice of Linux as a desktop. They have no true understanding of intuitive. I migrated my family to Apple full well knowing they can't create anything intuitive... *but* they at least do support their devices far longer than any other alternatives were doing (until very recently). Also I'd never wish Windows on anyone :)

So I am glad if people find my videos helpful for any given reason. If you update, tag me (@ undinealmani without the space), so I get notified (it doesn't always work). The parts of my life, where I still depend on a high level of consumerism are the most weighing down ones to me. So I feel what you say. And then there are little things, like when I got rid of my bed frame... and everytime I sit in or lie on my bed, I'm like, yes, this is the shit :D And that way, those small choices just continue to make me feel more free and independent. It doesn't really matter what it is, but I am sure you can find those things in your life as well.

    Das Fairphone ist von der Idee wirklich gut und ich habe schon öfter darüber nachgedacht umzusteigen, aber es ist mir einfach viel zu groß. Könnte ich dann gleich zusammen mit der Herrenhandtasche kaufen.
    Mir fehlt in dem Video aber ein wenig die inhaltliche Kritik an Apple. Das ist mir alles zu dünn und btw es gibt Kontextmenüs auf dem iPhone ;)
    Ich denke der Punkt warum viele das iPhone mögen ist, weil es einfach funktioniert und sehr lange hält. Die Möglichkeit selbst Reparaturen durchzuführen ist heute ein generelles Problem und nicht auf Apple begrenzt. Macht es nicht besser, aber ist halt auch kein spezielles Problem von Apple.
    Beim Thema Security sieht es abseits von selbst gebauten Lösungen auch verhältnismäßig gut aus. Wo es geht werden Dinge lokal ausgewertet und nicht an Apple gesendet. Die Cloud lässt sich inzwischen komplett verschlüsseln, ohne das Apple den Schlüssel kennt und Apples Geschäftsmodell ist nicht der verkauf deiner Daten. Von daher gibt es aus Sicht des Konsumenten erst einmal keine wirklich bessere Alternative. Das Fairphone wird wie es aussieht standardmäßig mit einem Schnüffel-Android geliefert. Ich habe zumindest keine Option gefunden es ab Werk mit einem anderen System zu bestellen, Murena bietet wohl etwas mit /e/OS an.
    Letztlich ist man halt ziemlich gekniffen, wenn man auf offene Systeme zurückgreifen möchte, das fängt schon damit an, dass ich für ein Linux-Phone abseits von Android gar keine Apps bekomme. Ich bin also immer auf ein angepasstes Android angewiesen und es ist immer mit mehr oder weniger starken Kompromissen und Einschränkungen bei den Apps verbunden, wenn man nicht die Schnüffel-Apps von Google verwenden will. Das Problem hat man bei Apple einfach nicht.

    The thing I hate about the a-typical apple user is their incessant use of : higher price = better device.

  • @Kephinio
    @Kephinio 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I get what you're saying. However, I don't think shaming people is the right idea. Users being unknowledgeable about how the products they use work and then acting the way you explained, that's truly annoying. But that's surely not specific to Apple users. It may be the people I am with, but I have yet to come across an Apple user who actually is as obnoxious as the people you describe in this video. Regarding intuitive design: Apart from ones opinion being dependent on what one used to learn navigating the digital world, agree to disagree, I think you could just be preferring Linux and navigating interfaces with a cursor, which is totally fine. But please keep in mind that there are other people who prefer other things. Hence, no need to be like "Where is this intuitive?!". I try to keep an open mind by consuming content like yours, which I like a lot actually, by the way. But it is sometimes hard to keep it cool when: I just want to learn something about macOS, maybe how to use Shortcuts (the application), and there's almost no way to just be excited to learn something without coming across some arrogant comment stating that other computers can do xyzzy as well. Like, yeah, we most likely know. It's just toxic, poisoning the atmosphere for anyone who just wants to enjoy something. I'm having a hard time actually believing that there are the types of users you describe out there when I rarely see them. It's mostly "The date using android is a red flag", which is absolutely annoying and wrong. But that's it. And I consume lots of content involving Apple, though I only ever see people being like "Android has had that for years", but whenever there's something coming to Android and has been on iPhone for years nobody says anything. And, well, that's weird. Just use whatever you like and try to make a positive impact. Just do that and Bob's your uncle.
    Just noticed I omitted this completely:
    I think that because Apple, like Microsoft, has the power to cause changes, it would be sweet if governments actually pushed them towards the ideals you mentioned in this video (e.g. repairability, labour, consumerism). Apple talks a lot about being sustainable. As an example, they gain by taking used products and reselling them at a higher price than the amount you get from giving it to them instead of giving it to someone close to you. But I think in order to change things like that, a change regarding the way people think about wealth and so on has to evolve. People should stop thinking that if they pay a lot they get a lot. I think institutions should educate people regarding responsible use of products, their impact on the environment and a lot more. I actually wanted to say a lot more, but I think we're kind of on the same page. Thanks for your input, Udine!

    • @UndineAlmani

      I actually think that shame is a very healthy emotion. Interesting book: Bonelli "Selber schuld". And shame in a social context acts like a correction to wrong behavior. Like not taking a shit in public. Maybe the word "called out and criticized for their arrogance mixed with ignorance" would be a better phrase, but that's too long... I have met a lot of these people, especially in my corporate work environment. Maybe it comes with income idk... ? And ik my comments sometimes... In Louis's section too, and their weird forums. I just think Apple is no longer a huge hype, like in the 2000s. So maybe it's more subtle now against the noise of Tesla, Google and others...
      Idk my beef is really with the Apple aholes and the company. I think it's a shitty company. And when it comes to sustainability they absolutely never do more than they have to and have never done so. No reason to put my trust in them anytime soon. It would be awesome, but they have betrayed their users so much in the past, I would not even recommend their refurbished stuff to my mom.
      Having another preference is one thing. Again, my issue is with those who are fanboys / girls. They just see the good in apple and if you criticize the product, they put your option down or they outright deny it. And they even use the same phrases, like "it's for security" and "it just works". The only good and objective argument (a preference is never a good argument in tech imo... My preference is to drive a huge fast motorcycle, but I mean... I'm not insane) for apple would be their adaptations for visually impaired ppl. They do that really well. Other than that, the preference argument to me is like saying "child labor is my preference" or "spyware is my preference". People ignore the issues and use that as an excuse, but when you criticize consumerism, the answer shouldn't be "but it looks cute". Or at least, if that is truly the reason, then to be so honest and not defend the shitty product. Other examples are SHEIN or Samsung. I don't support them. And people who have the means to buy a new iPhone, they could actually do better and decide not to.
      Anyway, no hate to the grandma using her phone. Or people who don't know better. But sometimes, especially when I read through another bunch of these comments here or elsewhere, I have just had it. It's not cool. No tolerance for the intolerant. No sympathy for bullies. Bullying bullies is absolutely fine with me, the issue with it is that it can feel not great at all. That's actually the reason why I made this video super moderate. I kinda put a lot of effort into not being pissed there. So it's sad to hear that you find it so bad.

    • @Kephinio
      @Kephinio 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@UndineAlmani Uh, I didn't say I find it bad, the exact opposite. I just have a differing opinion. Now, I can get behind the first paragraph. Don't know about the rest. Your hate towards Apple is very specific and I understand that. No, I don't want to be a sheep and protect a company, but haven't you thought about your valid points in the video being applicable to so many more companies? Also, if you really think that shaming people gets them to walk the right path, you clearly haven't thought about people being paradox here and there. Shaming people for something they do instead of teaching them (maybe over and over, which is what teachers do) isn't going anywhere. Doesn't really make anyone interested in the matter who you'd want to shame. Just to say that. And yes, when I first saw one of your videos ranting about something related to Apple, I was interested and baffled at the same time. And it's still interesting, but the vibe is just off when I hear only about hate instead of how to conquer issues related to the things mentioned. That's why I mentioned governments pushing companies to do the right thing, which is why I thought you understand and us being on the same page - well, maybe not. I don't use shaming or hating on people to get them to be a certain way or change their behaviour, it's just not healthy for anyone.
      Also, you went from products being intuitive or rather not to people preferring child labour? How does that work?! That's a load. People can choose Apple products and be aware of the negative sides, just like using artificial intelligence / LLM etc. What really made me strengthen my mindset regarding this is what Tim Cook said once in an interview (title: "Apple CEO Tim Cook on company's "holy grail," taking risks and more | Extended Interviews", time: 07:02 ). No, I don't take the words directly from his mouth, I can get behind them. I am aware stuff like this is PR. You can only cause that change by sort of continuing to exist, which is (at least publicly) why they do what they do. Also, if Apple really did only the necessary, I could hardly believe them having so many projects they support. This is only me referring to what I have read and experienced. Yes, I am aware of the negative sides, but also the positive ones. If we really were to be completely clean morally instead of complex (which is sadly necessary these days), we'd not be able to use lots of products we use today. Make use of what you have in order to make an impact. That instead of sort of making shaming people (yeah, being hateful towards others) seem a good thing, it's just not, sorry. I really like your content and it's thought provoking as I've stated many times already. But the more I see just content about a specific type of user (which isn't even only true for Apple users as I mentioned), I get the vibe that it's just about the fun of hating people on the internet. It just seems overly fixated on Apple. Me even writing this should show you I'm not a "sheep", as some disrespectfully say. There are lots of people out there who aren't aware, will never be or actually are aware of more aspects than the design of products. With people being complex it is way too easy to just say it's okay to be shameful. They might appear shameful, but when done right they could learn etc. We should create a positive climate in which people actually listen because they know the other doesn't mean harm. And shaming people who shame others without any logical foundation (the ones whom you referred to with "it just works" etc.) just will not cause them to be like "Oh, really? I'm so sorry". Sorry, if this made you feel unappreciated. It didn't just feel right to read I'd find your video bad while I was there saying I liked your content. Just be cool with people being different. I've no bad intention and am happy you even take the time to reply to so many people's comments!

But to close the circle, yes, you should hold me accountable for contributing to a system like that, and feel free to make suggestions how I can improve. ATM I am complacent. Not as much as the average apple user, but I am. I uploaded some shit on odyssee, a platform I really do not enjoy (and don't understand why anyone would), and while I do have the ability to upload everything on my website, I simply don't have the time for it, since I choose my kid's sport and making members content over providing libre content.

    I know "shit". I have a "Suck"-metric of my measure. Very simple: the company that steals most of my money and time (=money) sucks the most. I am trained in techical informatics and physics. And the company stealing less of my time than all the others is Apple, sorry. I would happily switch my IT-tools if there are companies with equipment running 10 years without hickup (no PC ever reached that). And for 4(!) years now there is no alternative to energy efficient SoCs (10x times less power for the same tasks) from others. Got a rent rise because PCs draw so much power. Need a phone, or a clock - not a mini laptop with an extra keyboard. Even in "mechanical" times, I left repairs of phones and watches to peeple trained to do this on those devices. Need a computer which simply runs. Tinkering time (been there, done that for decades) is for people which have time to waste. And sorry, "repairing" devices with billions of transistors is simply exchanging parts with no inside knowledge needed.
    Cars: I don't need to know how a motor works. TVs: Why to know how a LED screen works? To "repair"? And as you quote Louis Rossmann: The far more bigger problem is proprietory software that locks usage or change what you can do.
    And brand worshipping: As old as human kind. Not escpecially Apple's problem. See clothes and parfums.
    "Overpriced": I cost my customers a 4 digit sum a day. I rather work and spent that money for more "expensive" tools that work than earn less and tinker to force some partial integration of software never intented to work together (Do you hear me PineWatch?).

      I used to repair motors 30 years ago when they were "analogue". Nnowaday try to find the actual moter under the hood and you need a computer to set the MCU and to get it to work. Oops? New for you?
      But understanding an MCU does not help you if it is damaged or non-functional. You go to a repair workshop that can do that.

      @@UndineAlmani "nobody should get an education because it's less of a waste of time" That is not what I ment. Of course you should know something about the things you use to be able to achieve a competent buyers decision for example. More? You need a training. Years of it.

    There's a certain type of user who (for whatever reason) doesn't mind not fully controlling the very device they paid for. There's also a certain type of programmer (mostly web developers, but also C++ fanatics) who doesn't mind not understanding certain aspects of the program they've written, because they chose a langugage that "doesn't require users to think about memory managment, etc.". This user / developer is simply to "cultured" and "smart" to worry about implementation details. This is the apple user / web developer.

    when they say intuitive ui they mean there's less to know because apple prevents/discourages users from doing a lot of things. i think you need to start from a position of empathy because even you Undine will be guilty of laziness from time to time

      i actually think i have heard that before... something among the lines of "it prevents idiots from ab-use and smart users from use".
      i can try. that comment was only half-serious anyway, cause i am tired all the time. but part of me also know that the same people who complain about it have a shitty sleep routine, do not take good care of themselves (and know it) and opt out of good habits because of... idk, but there is always something. for me it is youtube i guess, sweet irony

    you know bashing apple users while using tiktok is kinda...i dunno...stupid
    just for the fun of it, check for all the rights tiktok asks from you on your phone an then realize all this data goes straight to the chinese government by law who probably will put you into their social ranking system. that can't be comfortable for you. please stop using tiktok as well as you don't use apple products :)

      i think there is a difference between using tiktok and USING tiktok, ykwim? as in being aware of their use of your data and opting in because of the benefits (there is just no other platform that allows me to find good and correct sewing hacks as fast, but would i watch it on the shitter for 20 min? f no!) to the credit score, i am kinda more afraid of the schufa :P anyway, so wenig tiktok wie möglich.

      I think the reason I don't want one is the lack of a keyboard and that it would be another device with a CPU. I just try to limit that. What do you use it for primary, if I may ask?

      @@UndineAlmani I don't have a primary use... I use it for various stuff: watching youtube videos or reading e-books in bed, I have a support on my electronics workbench where I use it to bring up diagrams or display the microscope's output... Also it has a keyboard that attaches to a connector on the long side and when my laptop is too heavy, I use my tablet as a laptop and sometimes I connect a bt keyboard and mouse to it. And as I said in my LE, as as an additional monitor for my laptop and desktop, where I can open documentation or a terminal.

      uuuuuh... das ist gemein. ich versuch mich ehrlich gesagt immer zu mäßigen. ich wünsche mir ja, dass mehr leute ein handy haben, das nicht sofort ein finanzieller totalschaden ist, wenn es mal runterfällt. aber das problem ist ja nicht apple. das problem ist die gemütlichkeit der leute. bei manchen verstehe ich es. gerade wenn man viel komplexes zeug macht im beruf und abends im arsch ist und keinen nerv dafür hat, sich mit technik (nicht nur handy) zu beschäftigen... okay. aber selbst dann ist es ja auch nicht "irgendein handy halt" sondern es ist ein überteuertes design-gerät. es ist ja nicht so, als ob das irgendwie unter den handys die naheliegendste option wäre, von den funktionen her. aber ich habe im bekanntenkreis zb leute, die haben das einfach geerbt oder ihre kinder haben es ihnen aufgeschwatzt oder die kollegin auf der arbeit hat so eins... die stören mich nicht, die sind ja nicht bösartig. aber diese apple-jünger, die komplett ausrasten, wenn du ihr telefon anzweifelst. oder dir (komplett ungefragt) erzählen, warum dein handy kacke ist (kein witz, zu fairphone schon so oft angesprochen worden und dann kommt ein völlig unverfrorener seitenhieb dass apple so toll ist und das ja leider noch nicht konkurrenzfähig).

      ​@@UndineAlmani Doch, das Problem ist schon Apple. Sie missbrauchen natürliche, psychologische Prozesse, um Menschen zu manipulieren. Das ist im Grunde eine toxische Beziehung, wo du wortwörtlich fünfmal so viel investierst wie du zurückbekommst und an den Partner gebunden wirst. Solange du mitspielst, gibt es ab und zu mal gute Gefühle, aber es ist super schwer sich zu befreien. Dazu kommt noch das narzisstische Gefälle, wo man meint mit seiner Ich-Erweiterung angeben zu können. In dem Fall halt das schöne Handy mit dem Obstlogo, statt der charmanten Borderlinerin. Das Fairphone ist dagegen eine bewusste Entscheidung, wo es nicht nur um einen selbst geht, sondern auch um Andere (wie bei einer erwachsenen Beziehung). Im Ernst: Stell dir mal die Frage, ob man auch toxische Beziehungen zu Unternehmen haben kann.
