alt Hacker NewsI'm confused. In the link you shared:
iPhone Air - 7/10 (Provisional)
iPhone 17 Pro - 7/10 (Provisional)
Fairphone 6 - 10/10
HMD Fusion/Skyline - 9/10

Isn't that what the scores above tell (which I brought up in my original comment)?
Plus, this is only for their smartphone line up. What about their headphones and other products? Airpods Pro Max is a 6/10, for example:

How do those numbers look with similar products from Huawei, Samsung, etc...? Fairphone/HMD are competitors focused on repairability above other factors so it's not really a fair comparison.
> I'm confused. In the link you shared
Also in the link I shared:
* Google Pixel 10: 6
* Nothing Phone 3: 3
* Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: 3
* Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: 5 (Provisional)
And many more.
So clearly Apple does not “score the lowest”.
> Isn't that what the scores above tell
So no, it’s not what the above scores tell, because you were actively selective. If you scroll down the list in good faith (with is sorted from Newest to Oldest) what you see is that Apple is not the worst and has been getting better starting with the 15.

You don’t have to tell me that, I’m an active critic of Tim Cook and the current state of Apple.

I’m also pretty vocal about not shilling for corporations and billionaires which would sell your nuts in a heartbeat. But I do care about criticism being valid, because when it’s not people ignore the valid points.
Again, Apple should absolutely do better and so should other companies. But lets call them out on what they actually do (or don’t), false accusations don’t help.
