Rejoice faithful Mac brethren as Apple is in the process of stashing even more money away by screwing its customers.
For some in here, it's what's good for a tax dodging corporation and f&ck the consumer.
And it's no coincidence that the ones that advocate for Apple, have no lives to speak of.
" It's good business for Apple, of course. After all, in the event it can get 300 million users to pony up even $20 per year then the company stands to trouser a rather pleasing $6 billion.
What's less ethical is that as the integration between its solutions and iCloud increases, it seems clear most users will eventually find themselves requiring more data than their allowance provides simply in order to use the profound new features Apple is introducing."
Hmmmm...
So Apple offers a service...
...tells people that they'll get it free for a year...
...and then it will cost $20 a year...
...(only if they need more than 5GB of storage, which will still befree)...
...as opposed to the $99 a year the previous service cost...
...but somehow is "screwing its customers" by charging them $79 less a year than they used to pay...
..have I got your argument about right?.....I would say; you swallowed it, hook, line and sinker.
