For all you Apple fans out there

Apple is moving away from the Intel CPUs in favor of their own Apple Silicon chips that are used in iPads and iPhones. Apparently many of the old legacy apps will be sacrificed in the process.

We've seen similar claims in the past that didn't come to fruition so I'll take a wait and see attitude especially with the newer, lightning fast NVMe "hard drive" tech coming out that will literally blur the line between storage and memory used primarily in personal computers potentially making them cheaper with fewer components.

Since I found out that apple uses slave labor in their factory in China I will no longer use any apple products.

Nike too.

I don't use them because.....well, I don't like them. That's a good reason too!

I love my MacBook pro but I'm getting a little pissed about how fragile they've become.
Ya might not get viruses but that dont matter if your shit breaks all the time.

Great sentiment, but you can no longer buy any electronics like cell phones etc that are not made by slave labor.
Trying not to bring politics in this area of the site... but it is why I scoff at all of the people whining about American slavery going on 2 centuries ago, and yet have no problem with buying 100's of products a year made by slave labor.... wait for it... NOW.

That's why I don't buy anything made in China.

Period.

Good deal... we go out of our way to not buy Chinese products either as much as possible.
I have an iPhone 7 now, I bought it because Samsungs at the time were also made in China, so there was no choice. However Samsung closed all of their Chinese factories last year and now make their phones in Vietnam and India. Soo that is my next phone

Looks like Chinese workers get too expensive nowadays. India turns out to be the new China. We will make it strong and then blame it for that.
