About Free Your Mac
After 25 years of providing independent and alternative Mac tech support, we are taking this opportunity to introduce FreeYourMac!
During the past 7+ years of consumer un-friendly actions by Apple Corporation, it has become increasingly difficult to provide friends and clients with clear-cut, affordable (and respectful) Mac solutions. From new non-upgradeable hardware, intentionally expensive Apple repairs, to non-transparent warranty information for pre-owned Macs, and even erroneous iCloud activation locks; what used to be a joyful job has literally become a struggle! (but we’re not giving up!)
With FreeYourMac, our intention is three-fold:
1) To educate and entertain, by blowing the whistle on Apple’s dirtiest details, eventually circulating petitions directly to Apple Corp (similar to the Right to Repair Act, but with an essential sense of humor!)
2) To share important hidden hardware and warranty details that can help people make the best purchase and upgrade decisions to fit their particular needs, without having to pay the AppleStore premium, and/or fall victim to the Applecare Subscription warranty scam (that can tank the computer’s future resell value)
3) To provide essential workarounds: Hardware, OS, software and iCloud tricks… so that creators and hard working people can remain productive on the Mac format, as long as possible!
and 4) If Apple doesn’t start to change their trajectory of maximum control and greed, FreeYourMac will begin to pivot towards specializing in teaching people stuck on the Mac format, how to most easily transition to PC, and become Free FROM the Mac format!
Please stay tuned as we unveil the following episodes over the coming months, including:
a 3-part exposé on Planned Obsolescence
a deep dive into the dirty secrets of Applecare, and how to NOT get stuck with a dead-end subscription warranty
How to safely buy a pre-owned Mac and save big money
