Crapple

What does crapple mean regarding technology?

Apple

Crapple is a derogatory slang term used to mock Apple products, such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads. It combines "crap" with "Apple," and may also suggest dissatisfaction with something beyond the brand's hardware, including its software or business practices.

Frustrated Windows or Android users are the most likely to use the term in tech debates and online discussions. They may find Apple's products overpriced, restrictive, or challenging to use. A PC gamer might say, "I tried using a Mac for work, but it's just Crapple to me," or an Android fan might comment, "Another overpriced iPhone? Classic Crapple move."

Mac users may also say it jokingly when dealing with Apple-related frustrations, like a failing MacBook battery or a cracked iPhone screen. They may vent to a friend in a text or email or post about it in tech forums or social media.
