Serious question, what does Apple offer that brings people back to them after an event like this, or the last one, or the one before that?
You can't customize the OS, the software for the platform is available on Windows and Linux, and the hardware is overpriced and underpowered, and then there's stuff like this where Apple decides how you should use _your_ computer. I sincerely do not understand why anyone would ever purchase an Apple computer, and yet here we are, again.
Especially confusing to me is how many of my fellow web developer peers I see choosing Apple devices over literally any other laptop with Windows or Linux which will run circles around a Macbook of the same price range.
This hasn't always been the case, but high-quality hardware and long battery life have been big attractors for me. I've never used a trackpad on a non-Mac laptop that has been comparable to Macbooks.
