Nah, Apple was an amazing company for a while. Iirc they were literally the best bang for your buck by a long shot, which shouldn’t be surprising considering they were literally the first company to make a home computer that didn’t require soldering experience or a kit. At some point they decided to prioritize form over function, however, and started going downhill.

I’ve never heard that claim before. How is that the case, considering that the Apple I was just a motherboard, and the Apple ][ hit the market six months after the Commodore PET?
In my view, Apple was born enshittified.

The Apple II was very good. I always wished I could get one.
(And by the date, and by the impossibility of it being about the Apple original, that’s exactly the computer the OP is talking about.)
Yea, this meme was inspired by Action Retro’s YT video from yesterday lol
