I've been using Apple products for over 20 years. Every time Apple gets really successful, they start shipping junk. It happened in the early 90s and it's happening now.
20多年里，我都是苹果产品的用户。每次苹果非常成功时，他们就开始出售垃圾，90年代就曾经是这个情况，现在又是了。
While the MacBook Pros have languished with Haswell processors, PCs have moved-on to Broadwell, then to Skylake and now Kaby Lake. Current MBPs suffer with thermal throttling, lowering the speed of hardware that's three generations out-of-date.
当用着Haswell处理器的MBP开始不好用时，PC已经开始用Broadwell了，紧接着的是Skylake和现在的KabyLake。这一代MBP存在温控问题，于是把这个过时了三代的硬件限速处理。
The Mac Pro hasn't been updated in over a thousand days. What's worse, Mac Pro GPU was two years old a thousand days ago. The Mac Pro also struggles with thermal issues leading to hardware failures.
Mac Pro也超过1000天没更新了，更糟糕的是，他的GPU在1000天前就已经两岁大。Mac Pro也存在着温度问题导致的硬件损伤。
The iMac is sold for a premium price, but suffers with 5400 RPM drives and laptop GPUs. It still throttles like crazy.
iMac则卖着奢侈品的价格，但是还用着糟糕的5400转硬盘和便携级GPU。
The iPhone suddenly can't cope with long flights. You can't charge and listen to music with lightning EarPods. So much for having a charged, useable phone after you land. Hope you don't need to find your way to a hotel.
iPhone现在突然无法应对长途航班。你没法一边充电一边用闪电接口的EarPods听歌。也不可能在抵达后手里拿着充好电的能用的手机了。希望你不用自己去找到酒店地址。
If a user plugs in their phone and uses AirPods, they'll discover that the AirPods' batteries can't last an entire cross-country flight. A long-haul international flight can easily require you to stop and charge your AirPods three times. More charge cycles = faster battery wear = more AirPod purchases.
如果一个用户一边充电一边用AirPods无线耳机，他们会发现AirPods的电池都没法撑过整个航班。长途国际旅行需要给你的AirPods充三次电。更多的充电周期又带来更快的电池损耗，最终你将需要购买更多的AirPods。
Hope you've never had an earbud fall-out ever, because that'll be $159. So much for using them on biking / hiking trails.
希望你永远不会弄丢你的耳机，因为代价可是159美金。你也要和骑车远足说拜拜了。
Thinking of buying a competitor's earbuds to avoid this? Don't be so Shure.
想要买竞争对手的耳机来避免这一切？别太想当然了。
The technology Apple uses to have (supposedly) low-latency, HQ wireless headphones is not being licensed to anyone. You're expected to buy Apple / Beats hardware. Why? Because Apple just spent $3 billion to buy Beats and needs to recoup that investment.
苹果用的低延迟、高清无线耳机技术没有授权给任何厂商。你需要买苹果或者Beats的硬件。为啥？因为苹果刚花30亿美元买了Beats，他们需要收回这笔投资。
Apple is once again, a lazy, rent-seeking company that - sorry Steve - ships junk. Absolute junk.
苹果又一次成为了那个慵懒寻租的-抱歉乔布斯-卖垃圾的公司。绝对的垃圾。
