Apple always seeks to provide the latest innovations in the world of smartphones and tablets, but there are 5 “disturbing” facts that may prompt users to rethink before making a purchasing decision.

These facts are represented by the high cost of spare parts and official maintenance, and the company’s monopoly over the system of applications and services (closed system), which limits the user’s freedom compared to competing systems.

The problem of gradually reducing battery life also arises with continuous updates to the operating system, in addition to forcing users to purchase separate additional accessories such as chargers and headphones that are excluded from the standard device boxes.

Apple imposes strict restrictions on upgrading internal storage space after purchase, forcing the customer to pay large sums of money in advance to obtain higher capacities.
