Apple being more greedy than Microsoft

 For years, I hated the Apple company, not being of the product, but because of the company itself. The company itself is really greedy. The price of an Iphone isn't actually exact and should be a lot cheaper, even with research funds and all that. Like to mention that they are also strict as well and don't really care about customers all that much.

Apple is greedy in many ways and charge stuff that is more than Windows 10. For a Mac OS replacement, it will cost you like $20, which seems to be no exception, Windows 10 however, they allow you some other options like demos, to let you try it, with some restrictions, since it is a demo.

Apple is a lot more strict, strict to the point where other companies mocks them, an example is Epic Games, for something that had to deal with a game of theirs on the Apple App store. Click here to read the article on that. They have some other restrictions like non-universal devices, they have their own custom cord to charge their devices, which is called a lightning cable, although there may be converters, you are just spending extra money, and a lot more devices use USB-A and USB-C, so that brings you to a disadvantage and may just inconvenience you in the future, especially if the household you live at may use of mixture of Iphone products and other products with USB ports.

And a concern with the structure of the Lightning Cable that was by Apple, it is flawed because of it's thin design. How that is flawed? It's flawed in sense of repairing it and cleaning it, because the port is also thin, it is hard to clean and repair it if it gets too dirt or gets wet. My brother has an Iphone 12 (I think, it is a newer model), and his port is filthy, or so he says, he is having trouble cleaning it because of it's thin design, although he didn't mention it, I thought that as an issue.

Microsoft uses the most common used hardware in their equipment, which is often supplied by 3rd party companies, like Dell. That is very handy and convenient. Microsoft isn't that strict and they do hear customer concerns as best as they can.

I ain't the only one who thinks Apple is greedy, more people think Apple is a lot more greedy than Microsoft. How I know, you may ask, I use Google Trends. Most people seem to search for something along the lines of Apple and Greedy and lot, lot more than Microsoft and greedy, which you can see the results here.
