I'm mainly frustrated by the lack of advancement in the Macbook Pro line. I have a 2014-ish MacBook Pro and accidentally got water on the keyboard. It works fine with an external keyboard. Instead of paying 400 dollars to get the keyboard working again I chose to buy a refurbished Macbook Pro from 2017.

What was super frustrating was that the specs are almost the same after a three year gap. I still have 8GB or RAM and still have a 128GB SDD. The processor and has double the cores, but overall it's not the kind of improvement you'd expect from a three year difference.

Instead it's thinner and only has USB-C inputs. I would have never chosen to buy this machine on the merits alone.

I'm in the same boat with the iPhone by the way. I have an iPhone 6 and really see no reason to upgrade. It works well enough for me and I have no appetite to spend 500 or 1000 dollars on a phone that will do the same things for me.

And yes iTunes is a disgrace. I've switched to Spotify for podcasts and most music and it's far better.
