Apple
The Devil tempted Eve,
with this forbidden fruit,
only grows in temperate zones,
not in Eden's tepid heat.
Placed upon the head,
of his beloved son Walter,
William Tell shot his crossbow bolt,
to save their lives, did not falter.
The New World had little fruit,
so Johnny Appleseed walked his route.
Traveled near and far across the land,
placing apple seeds in farmers' hand.
The Beatles needed a new brand,
for their production company At hand.
They chose Apple because it was sweet,
built an Apple Corps empire from the street.
Steve Jobs liked the simple treat,
started Apple Computer to keep the beat.
Apple Corps sued him multiple times,
Jobs just paid them off, kept his mimes.
Apple crossed the trillion dollar mark,
they ruled the world with their stock.
Their computer embedded in a phone,
allowed computers to chat and roam.
Constant upgrades are a real headache,
scams and security flaws to boot,
Apple's customer service is very friendly,
but their solutions aren't worth a hoot.
According to the laws of Parkinson,
have risen to their level of incompetence,
and join good old near dead Microsoft,
with their trying to do everything petulance.
Google, new kid on the block.
Now chasing Apple madly.
Who next will rock? You know?
Buy their stock.

In the past, I had 3 different HP puters with Windows. All 3 were POS that kept getting viruses & crashing. In 2003, bought an iMac 11” iBook G4. It is still functioning well, 15 years later.
Previously, I had 4 or 5 Android cell phones, from various manufacturers, all drove me nuts with various & sundry repeated problems. In 2014, I bought an Apple 6S cell phone. It has served me well for 3.5 years now; however, it now needs a new battery.
It’s Battery Health has been reduced to only 70% now. This means that even if Charged overnite to supposed 100%, that 100% is really only 70%, then it loses its charge rapidly. When it gets down into the “teens” it sometimes goes “nuts”. The screen jumps uncontrolably from one App to another, as if some monstous virus has suddenly taken over. Must be then Powered down, rebooted, recharged, and start all over.
One must first make an appointment at an Apple Store, then show up, leave the phone there, supposedly they then run a Diagnostic, before installing a new battery. It supposedly costs $79, but their “Special” reduces tour payment to only $29 + tax !
After delaying this action for about a month now, I will “bite the bullet” & get ‘er done in the next day or so. The frustration when it goes “goofy” is such that you are totally unable to use the phone when it happens. It would be impossible to even use it to dial
911 for an emergency !!!

It's a competitive world out there for the digital world, Samsung, Apple, Microsoft, Mac, and others, each putting out their upgrades constantly. My daughter bought an HP Laptop really cheap from the Shopper's Drug Mart for $349.00, even though she uses a Mac for her work daily. She thought for $349.00 it won't hurt to buy the darn thing. The laptop came with Windows 10, webcam, recorders, voice activation and other features and we thought it was a good deal, but holy mack, it took forever for Windows to update the machine, and it keeps giving out error messages! Finally, she decided to just return it to the store, so she phoned up HP to find out how to reset the laptop to a factory mode. The person on the phone said it might take 4 hours to reset the machine, but it took 7 hours!
Will never buy anything cheap again!

Upgrade. my eye.
How long will it be,
Before you say bye bye.
Although I don't have a cell phone, I sure enjoyed your rhyming rant.
