Criticism of Apple missing/lacking?

Is there an equivalent criticism article for Apple, similar to Criticism of Microsoft, Criticism of Netflix, Criticism of Amazon, etc.? The existing Criticism of Apple is simply a redirect to Apple Inc.? GobsPint (talk) 19:02, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Through a series of page moves, the criticism section ended up at Apple supply chain. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 02:21, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve retargeted the various criticism redirects back there. It seems one person changed all of them. The criticism page was moved to “Practices of Apple Inc.” then to “Apple supply chain”. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 02:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The only comprehensive discussion of criticism I see remaining are in Apple supply chain and that's not, for the most part, direct criticism of Apple. I remember Criticism of Apple Inc./Practices of Apple Inc. had some of this meat but this has been deleted so we can't see exactly what was pared out and by whom. I know there is more about Apple that has received criticism in reliable sources than issues related to supply chain. There is still a lead paragraph that mentions this but not much remaining in the body supporting it especially anti-competitive practices. Can we get some balance back into our coverage please? ~Kvng (talk) 19:13, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As per Talk:Apple Inc./Archive 10#Redirect to this page goes nowhere, criticism of Apple is now scattered between Environmental impact of Apple and Apple supply chain, neither of which are solely criticism pages. Guy Harris (talk) 22:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps we should create a "Criticism" section, with subsections for supply chain practices and environmental impact, which would be short sections pointing to Apple supply chain, Environmental impact of Apple, Apple and unions, App Store (Apple), and any pages that I've missed, or sections thereof, and redirect Criticism of Apple there. Either that, or just create that as a "Criticism of Apple" page, again pointing to the pages about said topics. For better or worse, criticism of Apple is scattered across pages about topics on which Apple has received criticism, rather than being combined into a single criticism page. Guy Harris (talk) 23:34, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest we start by undeleting Criticism of Apple Inc. As far as I can tell, there was never a deletion discussion. ~Kvng (talk) 14:28, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've recreated Criticism of Apple Inc. without the cruft or minute details. Please contribute if you like! I still think some of the sliced off articles could be trimmed down further, especially Environmental impact of Apple ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 00:48, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, we cannot do your homework for you. Have a read at Apple Inc. and also Apple and unions for the economics of Apple. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 13:36, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History section

This section is way too long, especially considering that a sub-article History of Apple Inc. exists 68.133.31.122 (talk) 16:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
