in non-political ranting, i got an iphone 13 earlier this year, and i have to say that this device’s performance over time is pretty shockingly abysmal

just in general, i've become awfully disillusioned with apple hardware and software performance, but this has been even worse than i expected.

i had an XS max before this, and even at four years old with plenty of bugs of it's own, it performs better than this device does.

as a long-suffering apple user, i've become pretty angry about the way their low-to-mid hardware seems to be getting worse, while the top-end keeps getting better. it's all just pissing in the wind, but it's still pretty annoying (and obvious)
