It wasn't really a problem until Apple decided we all needed to have silicone headphone wires that catch on everything and show off all the skunge that passes through our lives. Apple earbuds meant getting used to the sensation of headphone cables getting stuck in my fucking hair.

Bluetooth is a fifteen year old technology that still isn't ready for prime time. You can get cheap bluetooth headphones for like $18... but you have to charge them. And get used to having software (shitty software) mediating the experience between your hand and your ear.

    I first got into Apple because it just always worked

Raise your hands if you've had trouble getting text messages in less than six hours for the past month or so. This is because Apple is doing something on their back end and shit gets lost for a while.

Yep. Apple has managed to make a way for text messages to not go through.
