Do you have a strict budget limit and a preferred screen size? Because the cheapest 2-in-1 with all the things you want is 85k rupees (This HP Envy, also comes with stylus and weighs 1.34kg), and 85k is not exactly cheap. And that one has only 8GB RAM which may not be enough after about 4 or 5 years.

The CPU overheating isn’t dependent on the CPU, it is dependent on how strong the cooling system is. The integrated GPU is good enough for some older games (from 10 or more years ago), but if you want anything stronger, right now you have only two choices:

1. Get the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U (that is the only laptop with a GPU strong enough for relatively recent games like Forza Horizon)
2. Wait for Intel’s 14th generation Meteor Lake laptop CPU line

I would say that the i7-1355U is good enough for regular stuff besides heavy gaming and actual work like professional media editing.

Nope. Get 16GB at least.

So, that would be less than $110,000,000 per annum (for iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, and Apple Watches). If AirPods also use ARM SoCs (which is probably the case), then it could be 135M instead.

What does the subscription weather app even do? Give you a free umbrella every time you forget yours? I don’t think there is any app worth money on mobile except for some games and professional apps.

Isn’t the lack of security due to poor security implementation rather than low-quality sensors? I don’t see why Apple can’t just use those same sensors but with their own security system.

And I just want iPhones to have Touch ID (they could do it in the power button).

But for Face ID on Macs, I think that’s because the display sides of those aren’t thick enough for Face ID.

I don’t have that program, but according to the system requirements I found online, I think it should run well.

Maybe the Lenovo Yoga 7i? But if you’re willing to share, what exactly do you mean by moral/political reasons?

Do you have any preference for screen size or whether you need a number pad alongside the keyboard? And exactly which Adobe programs do you need? PDF programs or Photoshop or something else?

That can only happen if you are an idiot or clueless or involved in a data leak. All Apple has to do is disable it by default and inform users of the option to do it while giving some disclaimer about security and Apple not being liable for malicious apps.

Google has locked down Android, implemented measures to prevent rooting/customization

True that, especially with Samsung. The last time I read, Samsung has some sort of “e-fuse” in their security chip that destroys itself if you install an unauthorised OS version and voids your warranty, blocks Samsung Pay, and blocks their “Secure Folder” feature. At least Samsung has Goodlock. Which is blocked from running on my phone (a Samsung M52, so it is faster than newer Samsungs that support Goodlock).

made all their apps a constant A/B/C/D test controlled by server-side flags that constantly rearrange your UIs and prevent the ability to sideload specific app versions

Is this specific to Google’s implementation of the Android UI? This isn’t an issue on my Samsung.

been less generous with the free service offerings, and repeatedly shut down, re-launch, re-brand, and overhaul all their apps and services.

True that, that’s why the only Google services I use (besides ones my university requires) are YT, Gmail, Maps, and Play Store.

This gets me thinking, has anyone done any research on whether Apple’s decision to completely replace devices rather than fixing and returning them and to solder RAM and storage increases e-waste production (regardless of whether the waste is recycled) to the point where any increased reliability can’t justify the increase in waste?
