For the longest time, I never had an iphone, went through 5 or 6 non-Apple smartphones. The only Apple product I ever had was my 160GB iPod Classic which I've used for about 10 years and it still works great.
then when my latest phone contract expired i just wanted a small phone and only Apple makes small ones so bought the SE. Really preferred using iOS to android. So for my next phone (i dropped my iphone down the toilet and it broke) i stayed with iphone.
Would never buy a Mac though that'd just be stupid.
Why are they evil? Because of the labour treatment? Or tax dodging? Both of which are practices all the other tech giants do.
