It's pity because they definitely know how to do hardware but I will never spend or buy their products.
Right, like how they design connectors that when shorted will instantly fry your CPU.
Or the part where they design flex cables that are too short for you to bend your screen back all the way.
There is a long list of hardware fuck ups that are outright stupid choices that competent engineers would never make. The only reason these defects exist is because they cause people to buy new devices more frequently.
They know how to do fancy hardware, not how to do reliable and durable hardware.
