In my opinion, Apple's choice to reduce the number and variety of ports on their devices in order to sell more dongles was where mobile device enshitification began in earnest. Now my phone just spys on me and vomits ads constantly and I can't even plug in my fucking headphones.

They take ages to adopt great features that have existed on Android devices for years, and yet are THE leader of what corners to cut in the industry.

We like to call it innovation here, innovative ideas to fuck everyone and get a bit of bonus for the ceo
