Heavily overpriced

Lauded for technological prowess they really don't have

Clunky and surprisingly unfriendly interfaces, I believe most of the people who claim that Apple products are so user friendly simply haven't tried the more streamlined options out there. It was always a nightmare when I borrowed my ex's Macbook and the iPhone at work is just not good at all, so many small and ridiculous choices and features (or lack thereof) that make no sense.

Extremely closed ecosystem that hurts both consumers and 3rd parties who want to sell their apps and games in their stores

Charge a hefty premium from retailers, making the profit margins on Apple products a lot lower than other, similar products, but retailers have no choice but to stock their hardware, it reminds one greatly of the way Nintendo did it in the 80's and early 90's

Locked services and formats

Locked accessories and cables etc

Poor compatability with a slew of software and accessories, this goes for both Mac and i-line of products

Terrible security on cloud services

Piss poor hardware in Mac's, especially the GPU's are a disaster, especially for the insane prices they charge, their fantastic screens go to waste due to this

Most standard programs and apps in OSX are worthless, even more so than the standard programs in Windows

Building their entire legacy on hype and shouting rather than real substance

Their unethical and consumer-hostile business practices has somehow made them one of the biggest companies on earth, a complete mockery and grand show of how it pays to be bad

Complete disregard for social responsibility in their manufacturing and assembly processes

Their stark-raving mad fans who are not only ill informed, but also somehow believe that I only say these things because I really want Apple products but I'm poor and miserable and can't afford them...
