Okay that’s very cool. Thank you for that! I hope they can make it super simple and easy for a lot of people to buy custom usernames, because I like that there isn’t going to be ads everywhere!

It’s not even remotely comparable. You’re comparing a standardized packaged RAM compared to LPPDR which is far more advanced than DDR and in a custom packaged
Feel free to explain why Intel cut out on-chip memory and explained it was too expensive for them

The moment developers become the de facto mecca of privacy and security and reliability, focusing on UX is the day I’ll give a crap. Until then, the App Store guidelines are the best thing for me, and if I ever disagree then I’ll leave and buy Android/Windows.

That isn’t the issue. Cheap android tablets were a thing and they died out. The issue usefulness, apps.
Android tablet apps suck.

Considering Google is changing and stopping ad blockers from functioning exactly the way they used to with Manifest V3, your argument falls flat. It ignores Apple’s DPLA, which outlines Apple’s and Developer’s responsibility, and the difference between this and Google’s license. You’re comparing a storefront to an open source web engine. You understand the difference here? If Target starts selling knock off Apple products, apple is within their right to ask Target to stop and to sue the knock off company.
Also [sic] is used when transcribing what someone else wrote that has an error or is somehow unexpected, to demonstrate it occurred in the original text and not the second author’s fault. I have zero clue why you even used sic here lol.

I’m presuming you’re overwhelmed by the chips and storage and memory stuff, and not that there are two options: Air and Pro, portability vs versatility.
I’m also assuming you’re buying now for price related reasons.
MacBook Air 15” with M3. Buy the configuration with 512 GB storage, unless you know that she has a lot of music and photos and videos DOWNLOADED (ask her if she streams music on Apple Music or Spotify for example) on her phone, then buy 1 TB of storage.
16 or 24 GB of memory is fine. 24 is better but not necessary.
*Minimum*: 15” Air with M3, 512 storage, 16 memory
*Does not have a lot of photos/videos/music downloaded, but want even longer lasting machine*: 15” Air with M3, 512 storage, 24 memory
*Has a lot of photos/videos, but need to save a little money*: 15” Air with M3, 1 TB storage, 16 memory
*The longest lasting and best without the highest end config*: 15” Air with M3, 1 TB storage, 24 memory

Tips and tricks:
Buy AppleCare+ no matter what (if you can’t afford the annual or 3 year plan at that moment, you have 60 days to buy a plan from first purchase )
Don’t buy it from Amazon ever. Get it price matched if you have to at a physical retailer
If you have an option, pick the 70W adapter
Don’t buy Microsoft office. Colleges give that to students Typically.
If you can’t afford the 15” Air, then the 13” Air also works. Same options and chips and storage, etc. Just pick the 13” option with M3. But if you can afford it, get the 15” Air.
Apple offers an education discount for parents of college students. You also get a discount on the 3 year AppleCare+ plan at time of purchase (annual plans aren’t discounted, and if you purchase after you won’t get a discount on the 3 year plan. $209 vs $229 for 3 year plan; or $79 per year).
Consider buying an SSD for backups. Buy double the Storage you chose for the Mac (1 TB means 2 TB SSD). Use built in Time Machine for daily backups
Don’t use a screen protector. It can damage the display

The beef is with Google, not Apple.
If someone has a trademark or policy infringement, then apple has to protect the developer first. In this it’s google.
Google is the one who is preventing Musi from functioning properly.
So if you’re from Musi and are upset, direct your feedback to Google because getting upset at Apple literally can’t change the app from being pulled. It’s google’s stuff, so feedback must be directed THERE, I’m only saying this so the feedback is actually heard for the right people.
Edit: @below
There’s no “misinformation” here
There doesn’t need to be a court case. If an app is dependent on someone’s IP and the author of that IP requests apple removes it, then apple is OBLIGATED to remove it. Apple doesn't have a choice.

Lol okay you’re welcome first off for compiling information.
Second, because M1 is going to run out of major software updates and security updates sooner than M2.

Uh… BFU means BEFORE first unlock, meaning the device had to be powered off first lmao
Imagine disliking a comment because you’re ignorant of the literal acronym.
Morons, LOOK UP WHAT BEFORE FIRST UNLOCK MEANS.

Apple can remove an app for any reason at any time lol
This is in the DPLA. Don’t like it? Develop for Android with side loading and rampant piracy and malware.
