content: Why did Apple products still so widely accepted? Ten years ago, give or take a couple days, the iPhone was released. At the time, it was revolutionary. But over the last few years, Apple products have increasingly become more and more focused on how good it looks versus how well it stacks up to the competition. So I pose this question: why are Apple products so popular, despite the removal of certain universal ports (read: 3.5mm jack) and the hopelessly outdated features (seriously, they're only just now adding a dark mode?)
