I avoid supporting such companies.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. Apple seems to reach pretty far and the threat of lawsuits keeps some perfectly legitimate technologies from being implemented in competing products.
Apple also has a very "Castro-like" approach to its customers, by giving them only what Apple thinks they should have, and locking away the rest. With such similarity of thought, I am surprised Apple didn't strike an exclusive deal with Cuba, now that they Raul has allowed common people to own personal computers
But, notwithstanding this, Apple still has the best product/UI design department in the industry.
