I don't disagree with your opinions on Apple and their products but what in your list of bad things about them is actually illegal?

Apple's products are overpriced and underpowered, locked down devices sold as fashion statements or 'lifestyle' accessories that are more like toys for rich people than the miniature computers they're supposed to be.

There is nothing illegal about selling rich people toys or dumbing down a device to make it appeal to a certain type of customer.

I have never really cared for Apple products in general and also think they are over priced for what you get but for me that just means I don't buy them, I don't really begrudge them making money off a customer base I just don't fit into.

Where in the parent's quote that I was responding to was there anything about laws?

I was specifically responding to:

>Amusingly, there are two sets of people arguing about why Apple is bad,

I see nothing about legality. I see the word bad.
