What I mean by the next few years is instead of upgrading eventually to the M3 Max version of my laptop I'll buy something not Apple. If Apple continue down this path and don't do a reversal on this move.
As a Mac and iPhone user I am annoyed as this means I'll have to start migrating away from Apple over the next few years, paying for premium product only for the os and native apps to start getting adverts is atrocious and cannot be rewarded with my continued support.
Edit: I just checked the stocks app on my MacBook M1 Max and there are unrelated adverts alongside finance news items.
I am appalled and regretting my my m1 max (64gb ram, 4tb ssd) purchase for the first time. Up till now its has been one my of best tech purchases in my life. Not anymore.
This is a sign of pure greed. The most profitable company wants even more profits and will damage its brand to do so.
Logseq now has a whiteboard feature that is similarly powerful.
