I have had a different experience, Apple has always worked extremely well for me, very stable, very reliable, hardly any interruptions whatsoever. I can't explain this, maybe I jus got lucky, but nearly 20 years is a long time to be lucky for.
This is all true, until about a year or two ago when things started to take a nasty turn and Apple let standards slip, and now, it's increasingly shit.
As for pure tech - ignore those pricks!
