Perhaps the decline of Apple finally starts. And a startup will take their place eventually.

Sadly it's not the 80s anymore. A startup building their own hardware without VCs getting involved is basically impossible. Of course, I'm not talking about taking something like a Raspberry Pi off the shelf and making something with that. Wozniak was building something from scratch that could be sold as an actual product - no chance of that now.

There's Framework and Librem laptops, I'd rather buy those than a Mac (I didn't downvote)

I wanted to buy a framework, but they don't accept crypto payments. So I bought apple gift cards with Bitcoin and bought a MacBook pro instead.

Interesting. Did you not have to disclose a similar amount of personal information to buy the Mac?

Have you considered buying used? This can be better for the environment and privacy.
