In this article I will try to present a view that I believe is correct about all the bullshit that went on between Epic Games and other companies accusing Apple of Monopoly because of its 30% rate and some policies that favor alternatives to the App Store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don't let your personal hatred for Apple Affect you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before we start talking about Apple in this story, we need to lessen the hatred that some have for the Company, also for Epic Games in the next topic. If you continue with this hatred, it may affect your understanding of the article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Brazil a growing number of Apple fanboys is common, you know that where there is fanboy also Hater (hater). I hate both fanboys and Haters. They are the scum of humanity, most of the time children who don't even think straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I confess that I am an Apple FAN, I have iPad Pro, Mac, iPhone and even Apple TV. But I didn't buy these things to show off, or because I devalue money, I bought it because I was in Japan and it was very cheap, cheaper than Microsoft and Samsung. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I migrated from Windows Phone and PC to Apple, I have only had satisfactory results in my work and great savings in maintenance and updating of Hardware. All this because I travel to Japan, but I also don't find the prices of the Gray Market so absurd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately in Brazil you need to be rich to consume Apple, and this generates a huge hatred for the company, for those who are unable to buy, or for those who have money, but are outraged that the devices are used to display themselves, as luxury items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am also disgusted by this, but I am a fan of Apple, its services and especially its operating systems and I don't care much about the logo. Some also loathe the company for being a closed system, but I really like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn't matter if you hate Apple because of its closed operating system, or because of the prices charged in Brazil, or because some use its products for status and to show off, leave that hatred aside\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n
