In what sense Apple is expensive monetary?
In any case if this is a face off, Apple will win - it has greater, much grater loyal customer base. Sooner or later Apple will have AppleGPT and will include premium subscription into Apple One plan, or whatever it is called. And I am telling this as both an Apple user and ChatGPT paid user.
Apple is exactly as shit as every other tech company, because they have to be in order to win the capitalism game.
But yeah, they sure have got a lot of zealots...

To think there was a time when IMO Apple could convince people with great products.
