Apple is a company that has a great fan base compared to other brands. But this is also the brand with a love-hate relationship With its consumers. Some love Apple so much that every product they use is their product. And there are many who all hate the brand. So let’s talk about that why Apple is such a love-hate brand.

 

Lack of customization in Apple

The main downside of this brand is that they are not providing flexibility to their customers. Sideloading apps are prohibited in iOS, and even Tim Cook has said that if you want to sideload any app go for Android. So that is one of the reasons for hating Apple because they keep their users within a boundary.

What they do is force you to buy another product of them to completely benefit the current device.

For example, if you have a MacBook, it will not work perfectly with an android, and you have to buy an iPhone to benefit from the MacBook. Because they have optimized the product like that, it will work flawlessly only with other Apple products. It is their strategy to sell more and more products to the consumers.

Anti consumer activities are done by Apple

 

There are many steps taken by Apple against the users, like removing the headphone jack and, after some time, removing the dongle from the box. They had also launched the self-repair service in recent days, but that was too an intelligent move.

Let us know how very few people will use the service that apple has launched, and from that, if anyone mistakenly breaks anything inside, they have to come to apple to solve that.

 

Lack of innovation

 

You all must have heard that they brings every feature late as compared to Android but they bring it very late.

If Android has a high refresh rate now, they will have it in 2 to 3 yrs later, which is a huge deal.

Similarly, if we talk about cameras or high-resolution displays, everything in apple comes late compared to Android. Even from 2017, when the iPhone x was launched, they haven’t removed the notch.

Apple is still struggling with the notch where android phones are running towards full-screen displays.

Yes, how big you get, but innovations are necessary to stay in the market. It is not that Apple has never done creation in the time of Steve Jobs; Apple has done lots of new things and innovation. But now it has decreased a lot, and some users are not happy about this decision.

 

They are not so much open

 

If we remember that apple had gone through a court case regarding slowing down its iPhones through updates.

And in court, they have accepted that and given an excuse that they were doing it to save the old iPhones’ battery.

High pricing of their products

 

As we all know Apple is not a brand in some countries it is like a status symbol.
And they knows that and for that reason, the prices of their products are so high in countries like India that it is impossible to get them.

The price of an earphone is around 25000 INR in India, and iPhones are gone up to 1.8 lakhs which is mind-blowing. This much price just for a phone is hard to justify for so many people. So the pricing of their products can’t be explained by them.
Recently they have launched a silk cloth to clean devices priced around 2000 rupees which is insane.

Yes, there are some good things in them, but there are some terrible things too that were criticized by users, and those are why people hate them so much.
They bring some very alarming trends, which at last followed by Android. So these are some reasons why this brand has a love-hate situation with its users.
